What Formentor lacks in proximity to the airport (Palma is over an hour’s drive, and the last 10 minutes of hairpin bends aren’t ideal for anyone prone to car sickness) it makes up for in charm, exclusivity and peacefulness. Far off the tourist map, there’s only one narrow road that snakes through the national park, at the end of which is just a handful of houses and one, very long sandy beach (so no need to sunbathe on concrete pontoons).
Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier chose to spend some of their honeymoon at Hotel Formentor in the 1950s, but since that time the peninsular had fallen of the radar of the glitterati, up until now.

The basement will have a 12-seater cinema which can be retracted (using hydraulics) to make room for a dance floor complete with glitter ball.

The house has fingerprint entry at the main gate and front door. ‘This house would be an ideal for an art lover,’ says de Rosen. ‘ We’re selling the house fully furnished so the only thing will be left to do here will be cover the walls with some great pictures.’ The Formentor House is on the market for sale with Balearic Properties Real Estate at 14.950.000 Euro .
