To really enjoy a luxury holiday, why not put your money towards a Mallorca villa with heated pool?
Mallorca Farmhouses offers a wide range of properties across the Balearic island - many of which are villas with heated pools.
You can find residences to suit your budget on the company's website and this selection of luxury accommodation is situated in various parts of the popular Spanish getaway.
Lucky 13
There are 13 Mallorca villas with heated pools to choose from at Mallorca Farmhouses' site.
Picturesque Pollenca is home to three of them - Son Ferragut de Baix, Can Sole de Baix and Ponent.
Whether you want to cool down after a long day exploring Mallorca's varied terrain or wash off the sand following a fun day at the beach, the swimming pools in these three properties are sure to be sufficient.
The fact they boast heated pools means you can use them while watching the sun go down and as the temperature gets a little colder.
You may want to take an early evening dip as a form of relaxation before heading to some of Pollenca lively restaurants and cafes or popular harbour area.
Deia
Two more of the villas with heated pools from Mallorca Farmhouses are situated in Deia.
One of those, Sa Punta de S'Aguila, used to be owned by Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson.
The country estate is made up of 4,000 acres, set in the mountains, valleys, pine forests and farmland, as well as being part of north-west Mallorca's stunning coast. It is also located just south of the old, quaint village of Valldemossa.
This property is part of Mallorca Farmhouses' Exclusive Collection and - with the scenery it offers - it is easy to see why.
Pump it up
The villas with heated swimming pools either use solar energy or specialist heat pumps. They increase the normal temperature of the individual pool by two to five degrees C, depending on how they have been installed.
Staying in a villa with a heated swimming pool may give you a feel for the high life, while residing in Deia may give you an insight into the tastes of one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs.
