Villa Balafia

This marvelous villa on Ibiza is situated a short walk from the ancient village of Sant Llorenc de Balafia, in the north-central region of the island. The villa blends the rustic elegance of centuries past with the chic, contemporary style of this world-famous island, including high-end amenities for cooking and entertainment and extraordinary pieces of gallery-worthy artwork. Accommodations for fourteen guests include four bedrooms in the main house and three separate suites accessed from the terrace or gardens.

The central terrace is the heart of the estate, inviting you to dreamy days and evenings under the open sky. Step into the scintillating swimming pool for a soothing plunge and revel in the open air on broad, comfy sunbeds beneath parasols. Cook an afternoon meal at the outdoor kitchen and relish it alfresco around the table for eight. At sunset, savor a bottle of delicious Spanish wine and admire the vistas from the upper balcony.

Multiple sets of wooden doors open to the villa’s interiors, creating a lovely current of air throughout the home. A two-sided fireplace warms the cozy TV lounge and the extraordinary dining area, where superb chandeliers of iron and glass illuminate the table for eight. A loggia extends from the dining room, perfect for cocktails before or after meals. The kitchen is minimalist in style but fully equipped with chef-ready appliances; it opens to the pool terrace and an adjoining table for casual meals.

The main house includes two large king bedroom suites with ensuite bathrooms, while two guestrooms—one with king bed, one with a pair of twins—form a family-style suite with a shared bathroom. One of the king suites opens to a furnished balcony. Three separate guests suites enjoy independent entrances from the exterior; each features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. The bedding arrangement is ideal for multiple couples or destination wedding guests.

Beyond your private haven, the vacation rental is within walking distance of the village of Balafia, including the fine Mediterranean restaurant La Paloma. The central location places you within easy reach of numerous beaches, coastal towns, and famed nightlife spots, while Ibiza Airport is just twenty-four kilometers away.
