Hazy Island View

On Ibiza’s idyllic quiet side, this luxurious villa overlooks the sparkling sea at Es Torrent Bay. A three-minute drive (or leisurely twenty-five-minute walk) sees you at the soft sand and restaurant at Es Torrent beach. This section of Ibizan coast is dotted with sheltered coves and secret bays to explore. If getting to know Ibiza’s famous nightlife is on your bucket list, the world-famous beach clubs of Platja d'en Bossa are just a fifteen-minute drive away and you can return to blissful peace and quiet after a day (or night) of hedonism.

Chilled out days can be spent on the sleek hardwood deck that wraps around the villa. Shaded outdoor lounges, sun loungers on the lawn, and a rectangle of turquoise swimming pool invite you to spend the day unwinding. Up on the first-floor balcony, there’s a sea view the gods would envy, taking in the hazy islands floating on the horizon.

Inside, polished white stone floors keep things cool underfoot so you can stay barefoot all day. Walls of glass flood the luxurious interior with sunlight and mean you can enjoy a sea view from the open-plan living area and bedrooms too. In terms of seating, there are more than enough plush sofas to accommodate the group with two lounges mirror images of each other. Mid-century-style furnishings, dazzling modern artworks and a geometric-patterned dining table that could be in a gallery all combine to create the feeling you’ve stepped into the pages of an interior design magazine.
