Sir Richard Branson is well-known for his various Virgin business including venturing out of space, but did you know that he offers tourism much closer to home? Sir Richard has built a property empire including a private hotel on a vineyard in South Africa, a ski chalet in Verbier,<\/a> a luxury tented Safari Lodge in Kenya and even his own private Island in the British Virgin Islands. He offers people the chance to stay in his private properties and indulge in the kind of lifestyle that he enjoys. The clear example that really showcases the ‘Sir Richard Branson lifestyle’ are its private luxury villas in Mallorca, situated within the Son Bunyola Estate on the beautiful Balearic Island of Mallorca<\/a>. Here’s a little more about it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Son Bunyola Estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Set within the stunning Tramuntana mountains, Son Bunyola is a vast estate on Mallorca north-west coast, covering 1,300 acres of breathtaking landscape and including three luxury villas: Sa Punta de S\u2019Aguila<\/a>, Sa Terra Rotja<\/a> and Son Balagueret<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Estate is located just a few kilometres from the Mallorcan towns of Banyalbufar and Esporles. These traditional villages have a range of local amenities including a variety of restaurants and typical Spanish tapas bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capital of Mallorca, Palma, is just 25km from Son Bunyola so accessing the larger city is easy. A hire car is recommended, mainly as this gives you the opportunity to explore this beautiful part of the island. Palma de Mallorca Airport is just 40 minutes from the estate and there are a range of flight options from most main European airports daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
