Can Kai

Can Kai sits in the countryside of Sant Mateu, looking out over the open landscape from the edge of its infinity pool. This is a tranquil corner of the island, and you feel it in the quiet mornings and the sense of having the landscape to yourself.

Most of the living happens outdoors. Breakfast stretches out on the terrace, afternoons move between the water and the shade, and at dusk the table is laid outside again, the barbecue lit while the countryside slowly fades to dark. It is a place to slow right down without giving anything up.

Light-filled rooms with island character

Inside, traditional features sit alongside modern comforts. The living spaces are full of natural light and work as well for an afternoon with a book as for dinner with friends, helped by a fully fitted kitchen that makes cooking a pleasure. Each bedroom has its own character, and air conditioning keeps things cool through July and August.

Come autumn, the fireplace and central heating make Can Kai just as comfortable for a break outside the summer season.

Tropical garden, terraces and the infinity pool

The garden is planted with tropical greenery and flowers, a lush backdrop to every swim in the infinity pool. Several terraces let you choose between sun and shade at any hour, with sunloungers for the afternoon and a lawn to stretch out on. The outdoor dining table beside the barbecue is where lunches run long and dinners end under the stars. There is a garage and private parking.

Benirràs, Sant Joan and Santa Gertrudis

From Sant Mateu it is a short drive to some of the island's best-loved calas, including Benirràs and Cala de Sant Vicent. The village of Sant Joan is close by, and Santa Gertrudis, with its boutiques and café terraces, makes an easy morning out. A hire car is recommended for exploring.

Suited to couples and families

Can Kai works for families who want room and calm, and for couples looking for a peaceful country base with the calas still within easy reach. The plot is private, and the rural setting keeps every hour of the day unhurried, from the first coffee to the last glass on the terrace.
