Description Cicadas Sway: Ca'n Cirer

The long, laser-filled nights of new Ibiza meet the old, rural charm of the island at this smart home in Cala Jondal. Meshing modern and antique, the white-washed villa's interiors juxtapose abstract art with heavy oak furniture. The living area has been split up with arched walls, cosy nooks, and French doors which open out onto the patio, allowing groups plenty of space to claim as their own. Bedrooms follow the same theme; above most of the beds is an intricately carved wooden headboard, oak beams run across ceilings, and wardrobe doors have been swapped for antique alternatives. Our favourite room? The turret-like master bedroom with its secret bathtub on a private terrace. The nearest beach is a two minutes' drive away, but the home's expansive gardens, swimming pool, and double day loungers may prove more tempting. Still up for some action? The tennis courts have got glimpses of the ocean. Once you're done perfecting your serve, head back to the barbecue for an alfresco feast, best eaten underneath the covered terrace.
