Dancing Shadows

Dancing Shadows: Balearic Islands

This contemporary home designed by world-famous designer Jose Antonio Flores fits the bill for an Ibizan holiday like no other.

With its sleek design and glass front, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a celebrity's home – or perhaps the headquarters of the Thunderbirds. Though you'll find no hidden rockets here, the home gym and sauna should be enough to impress you, nestled in the shade of the garden.

You could spend all day on the main terrace, soaking up the sun and the island views while you dip in the pool or unwind on the lounge set. But, in fact, this home is designed for entertaining, with enough space for everyone to gather for a meal or drinks in the evening.

The contemporary style continues inside the home, where the open-plan living space offers ample room for relaxing. You'll find all you need to rustle up Spanished inspired meals in the kitchen – when you're not savouring local food at restaurants in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, that is.

Each bedroom has its own private terrace to begin each day with a coffee before heading out to explore the rest of the island. From here, you're just a twenty-minute drive to Ibiza Town, brimming with shops and restaurants, while the rugged west coast offers a wealth of hidden beaches to watch the sunset over the Mediterranean.
