ffering an exclusive portfolio of the finest luxury villas across the Côte d’Azur, Mallorca and Ibiza, Purple Summer brings guests exceptional service and outstanding cuisine. Purple Summer guests are accommodated in some of the most desirable settings such as sultry St Tropez and the ‘moyen pays’ region, which sits in France between the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and the glittering Mediterranean Sea; Pollenca in North Mallorca, and the stunning coastline of Ibiza. Guests can choose to stay near magnificent beaches, breath-taking landscapes, cobbled market towns or rocky mountains, as well as indulging in the glitz and glamour for which these destinations are renowned. Each villa within the bespoke 7 property portfolio – sleeping from 8 up to 12 people – has been carefully hand-picked and offers first-class facilities and a distinctive personality. Nestled in the center of the island of Ibiza, a mere kilometer from the picturesque village of

Santa Gertrudis, sits Villa Can Alma. Encircled by pine forest, olive groves and with views stretching out to the sea and town of Ibiza, Alma is ideal for those seeking the tranquility of a secluded location alongside the galleries, eclectic restaurants and artisan boutiques that this nearby village has to offer. Impeccably designed in stylish neutral colors – with beautiful sculptures and artwork reflecting the spirit of the island – Alma comprises six bedrooms, multiple dining areas and elegant terraces featuring Balinese beds, an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, infinity swimming pool, outdoor hot tub and indoor sauna. Located in the heart of the beautiful Mallorcan countryside, between the rustic town of Pollenca and the beaches of Port de Pollenca, with a choice of two nearby golf courses, Villa Llenaire is the perfect destination for families. Built in the traditional Mallorcan style yet with stylish modern touches, Llenaire offers four en-suite bedrooms each with private bathrooms and an open plan living area opening out onto
