Alfresco Disco

Alfresco Disco: Balearic Islands

Solo getaways or couples retreats are all well and good, but sometimes, the very best holidays are those that involve a huge group of all your favourite people at the same time and this vast villa in the south of Ibiza can help make that a reality.

Surrounded by verdant hillsides, the outdoor space is particularly impressive, offering no end of ways to enjoy the sort of hot summer afternoons that the White Isle has in spades. The large swimming pool is jazzed up with the addition of a fountain and a Jacuzzi in which to luxuriate, while there's also a tennis court and an alfresco dining table on the terrace ready and waiting for banquets.

Inside, the home is fairly traditional in style, with terracotta tiles, exposed brickwork and whitewashed walls in keeping with Balearic tastes. However, there are more contemporary features, not least the whirlpool bathtub in the main bedroom that makes for a decadent way to end the day.

Although there's more than enough at the address to keep you occupied, you're not too far from lively attractions. The golden sands of Cala Jondal are only two minutes' drive away, while the restaurants and dance floors in Ibiza Town take about twelve minutes in the car to reach.

*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
