Villa MichaelaSpain, Balearic Islands, Ibiza

This rural locale on the west coast of the island will suit guests looking for complete privacy within easy reach of many amenities. With the airport a 20-minute drive away and Ibiza Town a further five minutes, you can enjoy seclusion without travelling far. Even closer to home is Cala d'Hort Beach – a five-minute drive from your front door – where you can swim in pure turquoise water, with the wooded hills behind and the mystical rocky island of Es Vedrà just out to sea. The little village of Es Cubells is also well worth the ten-minute drive for a taste of local life.

A slash of white on the hillside is all that marks the location of this completely secluded villa as you approach. However, upon arrival, the full extent of the residence becomes apparent, and there's plenty to explore. Stone pathways weave around the property among tropical plants, a large covered terrace is a focal point for entertaining and there are two swimming pools. Step inside and the bold furnishings, artworks and designer furniture elevate the space. With a main house and two self-contained, separate apartments sleeping a total of ten, the accommodation is flexible for families and groups, allowing escapism for all.

This villa is bursting with character and there are design statements and eclectic artworks and collectables in every room. The communal areas are spacious and offer the ideal surroundings for both relaxing and entertaining. Whether you want to settle down with a book and a freshly brewed coffee in the secluded outdoor enclave or sip pre-dinner drinks with friends by one of the pools and watch the glorious Ibizan sunsets, the choice is yours. You'll feel like you've truly escaped the hustle and bustle of reality nestled in this hilltop sanctuary.
