House for rent by the sea in Cala Figuera: Rustic loft-style charm with terrace and views

Living in Cala Figuera is like inhabiting a moving postcard. Known as the “Venice of Mallorca” for the beauty of its water inlets and traditional llaüts (fishing boats) moored in front of the houses, this enclave offers a quality of life based on calm, natural beauty, and authenticity. In this privileged setting, we present a truly special rental opportunity: a “little house” of 44 sqm (473 sq ft) that condenses the entire Mediterranean essence into a cozy, unique, and character-filled space. It is not simply an apartment; it is a home with a soul, designed for those who understand that true luxury lies in the location and the warmth of natural materials.

Architecture and design: The warmth of authenticity

This property stands out from standard apartments due to its interior duplex or loft-style architecture, which intelligently uses the height of the ceilings to multiply the feeling of space. Upon entering, we are enveloped in a warm atmosphere thanks to the predominance of noble materials. The ground floor is paved with traditional terracotta tiles in earth tones, a material that is not only aesthetically beautiful but also helps keep the space cool in summer.

The living room acts as the heart of the home. Its double-height design allows the eye to travel upward, where the undisputed protagonists are the exposed wooden beams and the sloping ceiling, elements that provide a rustic and cozy character difficult to replicate in modern constructions. Natural light bathes the room through a large glass door connecting to the outside, dressed with light curtains that dance with the sea breeze. To ensure comfort year-round, the room features an air conditioning unit (heating/cooling pump) strategically placed to acclimatize both the day area and the upper loft.

In a corner of the living room, integrated discreetly but functionally, we find a solid wood folding table with high stools. It is a smart design solution for compact spaces: folded, it frees up walkway space; unfolded, it becomes the perfect place for breakfast or working with a laptop.

The kitchen: Minimalist essence

The kitchen of this home is an exercise in efficiency. It is an independent kitchenette, small but equipped with everything necessary for a simple life. It features a resistant dark granite countertop, a stainless steel sink, and a two-burner gas hob, ideal for lovers of traditional cooking who prefer the control of a live flame. It also has an under-counter fridge and wooden cabinets that maintain the rustic aesthetic of the set. It is a space designed for preparing light meals and enjoying the fresh local gastronomy that can be purchased just a few meters away, in the harbor itself.

The loft: A bedroom with views of the stars

The most distinctive element of the house is its spectacular ship-style wooden staircase, which leads us to the upper floor. Here we find the bedroom, located on a mezzanine (loft) that overlooks the living room. This space is a true nest of tranquility. The floor changes from terracotta to solid wood parquet, providing a warm and comfortable tread perfect for going barefoot.

The structure of wooden beams on the ceiling is appreciated here in all its splendor, creating a feeling of protection and shelter. The horizontal wooden railing allows light from the ground floor to reach the bed while maintaining visual privacy. It is a bedroom with a special energy, quiet and separated from the activity zone, ideal for deep rest. Additionally, the loft has enough space for a dressing area or storage.

Bathroom and exteriors

The bathroom, located on the ground floor, maximizes light and space through the clever use of glass blocks (pave) on the shower wall, allowing natural light to enter without compromising privacy. It features a white sink on a storage vanity, a toilet, and a mirror with cobalt blue tile trim that reminds us, once again, that we are by the sea.

And finally, the exterior jewel: the balcony terrace. Accessible from the living room through the French doors, this elongated space is your private box seat to the Mediterranean. Protected by a metal railing and lined with natural reed screening for greater privacy, it is the dream place to start the day with a coffee or end it with a glass of wine. The views from here are the essence of Mallorca: traditional rooftops, Mediterranean pines, and the unmistakable coastal light. The wooden Mallorcan shutters on the facade are not just decorative; they allow for light regulation and cross-ventilation, keeping the house naturally cool.

Location and lifestyle

Living in this 44 sqm house is choosing a conscious and relaxed lifestyle. Cala Figuera is not a mass tourist resort; it is a living village where fishermen still mend their nets on the quay. From your door, you can walk down to the harbor to buy freshly caught fish, dine at some of the island’s restaurants with the best views, or simply walk along the cliffs.

A few minutes by car is the Mondragó Natural Park and the famous S’Amarador beach, a paradise of white sand and turquoise waters. Santanyí, with its market and complete services, is less than a 10-minute drive away.

This property is ideal for a single person or a couple who do not need large spaces, but rather great experiences. It is perfect for a writer, an artist, or anyone looking to disconnect from urban noise and reconnect with the slow rhythm of the island.
