The shimmering pool at Finca Natura with cascading water fountain is a cool oasis in the hot Spanish summer, the occasional splash of a dive the only sound to break the chorus of the cicadas.
The retreat for lunch to the shaded pool-side terrace is soon a welcome daily ritual. Dappled with shade, the summer kitchen has views across the surrounding pine forest which lines the hillsides around San José, in this popular and appealing corner of the island.
Walking trails lead through the surrounding forest, perfect for a cool afternoon walk or an uplifting morning run, breathing deep the heady pine fragrance with a hint of sea air. At the path’s culmination is the beach at Cala Jondal, and some of the most popular beach clubs on the island.
