For more than 50 years, CV Villas has been curating exceptional villa holidays, with a reputation built on outstanding properties and personalised service. The ABOVE collection represents the most exclusive villas within our Spain portfolio, bringing together a carefully selected collection of homes across Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza.
Each villa has been chosen for its exceptional setting, distinctive character and elevated level of service. Every property in our portfolio of over 70 Spanish villas is personally visited and assessed by our team to determine if it meets the criteria of the ABOVE distinction. Beyond the high property standards, inclusion depends on the full experience offered, with properties featuring dedicated cook services, private chefs, concierge support, and daily housekeeping.
Service is tailored to each individual property and how it operates. Villas like Montana del Aguila feature a set staff complement of two cooks and a concierge regardless of guest numbers, while Spirit of Son Fuster is looked after by a dedicated three-person concierge team. At Finca Tranquila in Ibiza, resident staff and discreet security live in a separate house on the grounds to provide seamless support, while our villas on the Son Bunyola estate in Majorca benefit from the full range of personal concierge and luxury hotel services.
While these properties are not exclusively listed with CV Villas, our tailored service and on-the-ground support ensure every stay is unique and memorable. From contemporary coastal hideaways and elegant countryside retreats to architect-designed residences in some of Spain's most sought-after destinations, the ABOVE collection is designed for those seeking the privacy of a villa with the attention to detail more often associated with the world's finest luxury retreats.
Having stayed at Santa Ana myself, it's a villa that perfectly demonstrates what we look for in the ABOVE collection. The exceptional cook service, particularly the breakfasts, was a real highlight, but what stood out most was the team behind the villa. By employing staff with deep roots in Menorca, guests benefit from genuine local knowledge alongside highly personalised service. It's this combination of authenticity, attention to detail and thoughtful hospitality that transforms a beautiful villa into a truly exceptional stay.
The ABOVE experience begins long before you arrive in Spain. Once your villa is confirmed, our concierge team is on hand to help shape every aspect of your stay, from securing sought-after restaurant reservations to planning celebrations, family gatherings and tailored itineraries.
What sets the service apart is the strength of our relationships on the ground. Over decades of working in the Balearics, we've built a trusted network of villa teams, destination experts and local contacts across Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza. For one recent booking in Majorca, our team worked closely with local partners to create a fully tailored stay, arranging a private chef, personal trainer, Pilates instructor and boat charter around the guests' preferences. It's this combination of local knowledge, personal connections and destination expertise that allows us to deliver a truly bespoke service for every ABOVE guest.
Many ABOVE villas also feature resident or visiting staff, including private chefs, housekeepers and, in some cases, butlers, creating an effortless level of service that allows guests to focus entirely on enjoying their time away.
A private chef is among the most requested additions to a luxury villa holiday in Spain, with this service either included or available to arrange through our specialists.
Spain's regional food culture is one of the richest in Europe, and the best private chefs working in the ABOVE villa collection understand how to bring that to a private dining table. In the Balearics, that means menus built around day-boat fish, locally grown vegetables and the islands' distinctive olive oils.
The chefs we work with are not only accomplished culinary professionals, but also experts in their destination, drawing on long-standing relationships with local markets, producers and suppliers to create truly memorable dining experiences.
Menus are discussed and agreed in advance, with full flexibility for dietary requirements, group preferences and the nature of the occasion. Some ABOVE villas offer a fully catered arrangement covering all meals, while others provide a chef for selected evenings. Our specialists will help identify which setup suits your group and confirm exactly what is included at each property.
Through our concierge team and trusted local partners, ABOVE guests can enjoy a curated collection of experiences that offer a deeper connection to the Balearics, from cultural landmarks and local gastronomy to some of the region's most extraordinary landscapes.
In Majorca, these include a self-guided food tour through Palma's vibrant Santa Catalina district, private guided visits to the historic village of Valldemossa and the dramatic landscapes of the Tramuntana Mountains, or bespoke excursions combining Sóller, Deià and some of the island's most scenic coastal routes. The spectacular Caves of Drach also offer a fascinating glimpse beneath the island's surface, with private tours available.
Backed by the deep-rooted knowledge of our villa specialists and our two dedicated Spanish destination experts, Robin Tegg and Rim Dammak, we bring unparalleled expertise to the very best of Spain. From Michelin-starred dining and iconic beach clubs to private yacht charters, bespoke wellness, and world-class culture, we know precisely where to find the region’s standout experiences across Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and the mainland.
These are the restaurants, beach clubs, and spots we recommend most often to ABOVE guests, offering a curated insider's guide.
In Majorca, VORO, the island's only two-Michelin-starred restaurant, located in Canyamel on the northeast coast, produces tasting menus that draw directly on Mediterranean produce, with a kitchen led by chef Alvaro Salazar. DINS Santi Taura in Palma takes a different approach, applying contemporary technique to the forgotten recipes of traditional Majorcan cooking; it has held one Michelin star since 2019.
In Ibiza, Casa Jondal has become one of the island's most sought-after reservations for seafood, while Es Torrent, reachable only by boat or a steep descent, remains a benchmark for quality in a genuinely secluded setting. Yemanjá, also on the island's south coast, is known for long lunches and exceptional rice dishes. Restaurant reservations at these venues, particularly in July and August, typically require advance planning of four to six weeks; our concierge team can handle these requests for you, as standard for all ABOVE guests.

The beach clubs of the Balearics range from internationally recognised venues to quiet coastal restaurants that reward those who know where to look.
In Ibiza, Blue Marlin at Cala Jondal has operated since 1999 and remains the island's most prominent beach club address, known for its music programme and full-day dining offer. Cotton Beach Club at Cala Tarida is celebrated for its westward aspect and sunset views, while Amante, set on a clifftop above Sol d'en Serra on the island's east coast, offers one of the most dramatic settings in the Mediterranean.
In Majorca, Gran Folies Beach Club overlooks Cala Llamp near Port d'Andratx, combining views towards the Tramuntana Mountains with a kitchen focused on market-driven Mediterranean cooking.
For those seeking a quieter alternative, Torralbenc Beach Club in Menorca, part of the Torralbenc hotel and winery on the island's southern plateau, offers a refined, unhurried setting focused on local produce and natural wines.

Beyond their coastlines, the Balearics hold some of the most rewarding cultural destinations in the western Mediterranean.
In Majorca, the Fundació Miró Majorca in Palma occupies the hilltop studio where Joan Miró lived and worked from 1956 until his death in 1983, within buildings designed by his long-time collaborator, the Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert. The foundation's permanent collection holds more than 6,000 works, with private guided visits offering access beyond the standard public tour.
In Menorca, Hauser & Wirth on Illa del Rei occupies a restored 18th-century naval hospital on a small island in Mahón harbour, accessible only by boat. Since opening in 2021, the gallery has hosted major international exhibitions and maintains a permanent sculpture garden designed by the Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf. Entry to the gallery is free. The on-site restaurant Cantina, set beneath mature olive trees with views across the harbour, has become a destination in its own right.
In Ibiza, the natural starting point is Dalt Vila, the island's UNESCO World Heritage-listed fortified old town, where the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACE) occupies a 17th-century building and holds works documenting the remarkable artistic community that gathered on the island from the 1960s onwards, including pieces by Antoni Tàpies. A glass floor in one of the galleries reveals the ancient foundations of the old town beneath; entry is free. For something more unique, La Nave Salinas near Ses Salines - a 700-square-metre former salt warehouse converted into one of the Balearics' most seriously regarded contemporary art spaces, hosts major summer exhibitions and sits within walking distance of the Ses Salines natural park.

For a wider choice of hand-picked properties, you can also explore our full collection of villas in Spain. While ABOVE by CV Villas represents our most exclusive, fully staffed villas in Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, our broader portfolio features over 70 carefully selected villas across Spain, from coastal retreats to countryside fincas, each chosen for their location, style and comfort.
Our ABOVE collection in Spain brings together a hand-picked portfolio of fully staffed villas across Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza. Selected for their remarkable settings, distinctive architecture and outstanding service, each property delivers a stay that goes far beyond the villa itself. From historic estates nestled in the Tramuntana foothills to secluded coastal retreats in Ibiza and sprawling Menorcan fincas surrounded by countryside, every villa offers outstanding levels of service that go beyond the exceptional accommodation.
The defining feature of our ABOVE collection in Spain is the quality and permanence of the service. While many villas in the Balearics offer housekeeping or private chefs as optional extras, every ABOVE villa is supported by an established team with deep roots in the local area. Their insight goes beyond recommendations, bringing an intimate knowledge of the region, from hidden coves and lesser-known beaches to sought-after restaurants and local experiences. Combined with the long-standing relationships our villa specialists and destination experts have built across Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, this level of expertise and personal service is what sets the ABOVE collection apart.
Every ABOVE villa in Spain includes daily housekeeping, concierge support and personalised pre-arrival planning, ensuring every detail is taken care of before you arrive. Many properties also feature a private chef, creating menus inspired by the finest local ingredients, from freshly caught seafood to seasonal produce and the region's renowned olive oils. Whether it's securing a sought-after restaurant reservation, arranging a private boat charter or unlocking authentic local experiences, our concierge team provide the expertise and connections that elevate every stay.
Our ABOVE collection spans Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, with each island offering a distinct experience. Majorca is home to the largest selection of properties, from historic estates nestled in the Tramuntana Mountains and around Deià to elegant villas set among the island's peaceful countryside. In Menorca, many ABOVE villas occupy expansive private estates designed for privacy and tranquillity. Santa Ana, for example, sits within 210 hectares of unspoilt countryside. Ibiza's collection is concentrated in the island's quieter north and centre, where secluded settings and a slower pace offer a different side to the island.
Many do, either as an included service or available to arrange through our specialists. Across the Balearic Islands, private chefs within the ABOVE collection create menus inspired by the region's rich food culture, showcasing locally caught fish, seasonal produce from Ibiza's fertile interior and olive oils pressed in the groves of the Tramuntana mountains. Some villas offer fully catered arrangements covering every meal, while others include a chef for selected evenings, allowing guests to experience the flavours of the islands in the comfort of their villa.
Yes. Every ABOVE villa in Spain includes housekeeping and concierge support as standard. What sets many properties apart is the calibre and continuity of the staff, with long-standing teams whose local knowledge brings a deeper connection to the destination. Whether it's discovering hidden coves, exploring the villages of the Tramuntana mountains or securing a table at a sought-after restaurant, their expertise helps unlock experiences that go beyond the guidebooks, adding an extra dimension to your stay.
The right island depends entirely on the experience you're looking for. Majorca offers the greatest variety and is often the preferred choice for first-time visitors to the Balearics, combining dramatic landscapes around Deià and Valldemossa with easy access to Palma's renowned restaurants, galleries and cultural attractions. Menorca appeals to those seeking space, privacy and a slower pace of life, with larger estates and a less developed coastline. Ibiza offers two distinct sides: while some areas become lively during the summer months, the island's northern interior and quieter coastal enclaves provide a far more secluded experience and are particularly well represented within the ABOVE collection. For guests already familiar with the Balearics, Menorca often proves a rewarding alternative, offering a sense of tranquillity that's increasingly hard to find elsewhere.
