El Cortijo is one of three beautifully restored individual fincas located just a 15 to 20-minute walk from Búger. Designed with immaculate taste by the enterprising owner, this is a skillful interpretation of modern farmhouse style, offering all the contemporary comfort you’d expect alongside more traditional elements that lend it real character.
Charming as the interiors may be, the real appeal here is the outdoor space, which includes a bougainvillea-draped lounge/dining area and plenty of open lawn space. You can keep an eye on the kids from the shade of the terrace or join them in the fabulous free-form pool, with beach-style access making it easier for little ones taking their first tentative steps into the water. Teenagers might like to install themselves in the guest annexe, which has a futon-style bed on a mezzanine (limited headroom) and its own spacious living area as well as shower room. Alternatively, the main house would make a great base for two couples, thanks to its high levels of privacy and convenient location within walking distance of local restaurants.
Nearby Búger is one of our favourite villages. It’s the sort of place where kids still play out in the street while their parents sit in doorways and chat, and is home to a weekly market and a couple of restaurants specialising in hearty island food. For a more sophisticated choice you can pop over to Sa Pobla, renowned as having some of the best cuisine on the island, with the added benefit of a train station for a super-easy day trip into the capital Palma. The old towns of Pollensa and Alcúdia are just a 15 to 20-minute drive away and the nearby beaches of Puerto Pollensa, Alcúdia and Playa de Muro are easily reached by car.
El Cortijo sits with two further individual properties (the others being Casa Piedra and El Refugio) on a private country estate close to Búger. Each is fully independent from the others, though they may be booked together to accommodate a large group.

We had a lovely week staying at El Cortijo. What a wonderful villa. The garden is huge and the pool is great to swim in or just relax in the shallows. We were a party of 5 adults and there was plenty of space for us all to sit in the sun or the shade. The kitchen was well equipped and we also liked having the option of cooking in the outdoor kitchen. The town of Sa Pobla is a short drive away and had a choice of 2 big supermarkets and some nice restaurants. We also drove to the beach most days for an early morning swim, either at Playa de Moro, Alcúdia or Puerto Pollensa. The standard of villa, the helpful and efficient staff and the ease of car rental make it impossible to choose a different holiday company !
We have spent a really enjoyable and relaxing week at El Cortijo. Obviously lots of time spent cooling off in the pool, relaxing, reading books and the odd barbecue.
A fabulous week relaxing by the pool and day tripping about.
We had a wonderful week at El Cortjico. The villa is beautiful and very well maintained. Both the owner and Simpson rep were very helpful and friendly. The villa is in a quiet location but well positioned , enabling easy travel to local towns and the coast. I can highly recommend staying here.
Our holiday in Majorca was fantastic and we had a wonderful relaxing time and the owner was excellent and very helpful and friendly and we will come again and recommend to friends and family.
Our choice of Mallorquín properties is as diverse as the island itself, ranging from simple seaside charm to comfortable and stylish. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.
To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Nestled in north Mallorca, picturesque Pollensa sits in the lee of the Tramuntana mountains, close to the glorious sandy beach at Puerto Pollensa. Its characterful Old Town is threaded with narrow cobbled streets and packed with atmospheric bars, cafes and restaurants, plus chic little shops for a foodie treat or essential new beach item. Climb the Calvari steps for a view over the whole town, or sit and watch the world go by in the bustling Plaza Major. The lively Sunday market is a top attraction for browsers and bargain hunters, and a great place to find tasty local produce for your villa barbecue or picnic on the beach.
Puerto Pollensa is ideal for a family holiday, with an easily-accessible, long, sandy beach, watersports and plenty of dining choices for all appetites. Take a stroll along the famous Pine Walk or drive out to the Formentor Peninsula for magical sunset views.
To complete the picture of your luxury holiday in Pollensa or Puerto Pollensa, we offer a selection of handpicked villas and a delightful agroturisme hotel, an inspiring blend of old and new for families and couples alike. For the best Pollensa beaches and things to do in the area, see our Guide to Pollensa below.
