A cylindrical atrium makes the home ground. Evocative of a lighthouse, this generous space features an elliptical staircase that joins the three levels. The entrance leads to a spacious open-plan kitchen and living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows create the feeling that the villa is floating and open a fabulous panorama of the ocean and coastline. The windows slide open completely, creating an even stronger sense of harmony with nature.
The space is thoughtfully divided between cooking, dining, and living areas. The kitchen features two islands, each cut from a single piece of travertine stone. Built-in appliances make it very functional. Across the room, a cozy lounge area gives the space a cozy ambiance.
Glass doors open out to a big freeform pool. It makes a focal point at the back of the house, and the villa’s L-shaped form offers both shelter and a picture-perfect backdrop. The plot (10,000 sqm) is embellished with landscaped gardens and a shady dining terrace facing the shore. At the top level, past a rounded study room, you will find two wide roof terraces.
The villa was constructed by local artisans using of high-quality materials, most clearly showcased in the bedrooms. On the lower level, the master bedroom suite boasts a bespoke modern layout. Truly open plan, it benefits from dual showers, two vanities, and a hot tub. Boundaries disappear as full-height windows slide back, ensuring access to a private terrace. Four further bedroom suites feature a calming neutral color palette, fitted wardrobes, and sea views. There is an additional staff suite.
The villa's Mediterranean gardens are planted with pines and cypresses, which highlight the pristine whiteness and elegant curves of the property's stunning façade. The interior is finished in relaxing cream tones. This neutral color palette harmoniously matches the beige hues of the American bar and the black feature wall behind it. The furniture style is refined and simple, creating a feeling of fluid movement. In one of the bedrooms, a large ebony-coloured bed takes the centre of the room, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows. Two translucent rectangular lampshades add to this modernist flair, while the other decorative elements draw inspiration from the restrained elegance of nature.
Step onto the terrace, and admire the panoramic view over the sea, the mountains, and the surrounding countryside. In the heat of the afternoon, you can always refresh in the cool waters of the pool, in the pleasant shade of the villa’s lush greenery. For the best sunset in the area, head over to Cala Benniras and watch the golden rays disappear in the gorgeous natural amphitheater formed by the cliffs.
Nestled high above the breaking waves and ocean sunsets of Ibiza’s north-western coast, the villa is ideally located for exploring the pristine north of the island. Benirrás Beach, with its famous sunset drums, is a short drive away. Or head to Es Portitxol beach and spend a day here. The lively Puerto de San Miguel is just a few minutes further afield. Be sure to order the bullit de peix at Port Balansat – Ibiza’s best fish bar. Alternatively, enjoy farm-to-fork lunches at the bougainvillea-clad grill restaurant Can Muson de sa Vila, situated in the farming village of San Lorenzo. Celebrated as the cultural heart of Ibiza, Santa Gertrudis is a 20-minute drive inland.
