How about a plunge pool?
Comments (12)@fizzfan54 - Yes, not everyone can afford them or would even have space for them. My own balcony would be a tad squeezed if I added one (not to mention that it might annoy the neighbour below), but as a dream feature, it's fun to toy with the idea!...See MoreOur swimming pool needs a makeover
Comments (1)A great blank canvas ! You could do allsorts. Build up the outside areas to make different height patios and sitting / eating areas? Build up the sides and have water features around the edges? Build on the limestone wall and make it look like a natural water feature? Have a 'hanging deck' area that slightly goes over the pool? I threw in the elephant water feature below for fun !...See MorePlants for sunny hot patio garden in Mallorca?
Comments (8)7m x7m precludes palms really and don't forget Date Palms and Washingtonia are both affected by the Palm weevil and will need regular treatment. If you don't live there full time and are unable to get regular maintenance carried out, go for indigenous succulents and things like grape vine ( I have 5 huge vines at my house on the mainland, they make beautiful shade in the Summer, produce kilos of grapes and the only care they get at the moment is a trim in the winter and a thorough watering in the Spring as I am only there twice a year until I retire there next year). I like the look of Bougainvillia but it can tend to overgrow a small space and is unpleasant to trim back with its spiteful thorns, Wisteria is a better bet for a climber but takes a while to establish and produce flowers. Lantana, Plumbago and geraniums are all indigenous and do quite well without too much care, there are also some dwarf bamboos that do well in hot dry conditions, common Ivy does well here but is invasive. I know that there are a few good garden centres around the outskirts of Palma so go and have a look around,many of the labels give you good information about habitat and growing conditions and I am sure the staff would be only too happy to give advice. I have lived on Ibiza for the last 13 years, it is a little more humid than some parts of Mallorca but if your place is to the West of the island closer to the mountains that will also be fairly humid, there are plants there that have evolved to survive on the moisture from the nightly dew. There are also a lot of ornamental grasses that will grow with a little irrigation, some of them change to fantastic reds and browns toward the end of the Summer and produce beautiful seed heads, a range of Ryes, Timothys and fescues would give a layered effect. A late thought, looking at your photo, if you have trickle irrigation you can install some of the pockets for a vertical garden on one or more walls of the yard to produce a lush, cosy atmosphere.
