Aphrodite's Oasis

Aphrodite's Oasis: Balearic Islands

If we could pick one plot that best captures the spirit of Ibiza it would most likely be this stunning villa, found in the hills near Cala Jondal. Feeling more like a 5* hotel, this newly built home is luxury to its core. Find the island's chill side in the infinity pool, with views over the palm-strewn slopes and out towards the sea, or in one of the outdoor marble bathtubs, soaking underneath the stars. Renowned restaurants can be replicated in the chef's kitchen, with a dreamy, plant-filled dining room for big, joyful meals together. Things start to wind up a little in one of the spot's many bars, we suggest starting in the open-plan living room, with its folding doors and Balinese-inspired awnings, before padding across to the beach-style bar in the garden. Sundowners are best sipped at the roof terrace's bar – for the final picture-perfect moment, sit back in the plunge pool as the last rays dip behind Formentera. The Balearic's wild side is discovered down in the basement, where a fully soundproof nightclub area is on hand to dance the night away. Finish in true Ibiza style by greeting the sun on one of the long grey sofas on the terrace, before crashing out in a giant hanging chair or one of the beautiful bedrooms. When you wake up, it's time to do it all again.
