Cala Patience

Set high in the hillside on the west coast of Ibiza, this home is a dream for families or groups of friends looking to rest and relax on the glittering White Isle. With its sparkling infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean, manicured lawns, tropical plants and sunset-facing alfresco dining area, it’s hard not to imagine spending all day in the glorious sunshine and all night on the terrace. Even the seating down to the pool is like an amphitheatre, where the sea is the show.

Beach house style meets modern luxury inside this light-filled home; the stylish fireplace will keep you warm on chillier evenings, and the contemporary kitchen is perfect for cooking up Spanish classics. On balmy nights, enjoy a glass of sangria in the garden’s cosy chill-out area – the scent of pine trees on the warm sea breeze is really something special. No trip to the island would be complete without days spent on talcum powder beaches – and Cala Tarida and Cala Moli are a ten-minute drive away.
