Driftwood Dreams

There's movie-quality magic to this secluded hacienda in Ibiza, from the interiors worthy of a magazine to enough entertainment to keep all members of your party engaged. We noticed the architecture first, with native Sabina wood ceilings and arched white walls sheltering eclectic pieces like a cowhide chair and Native American headdresses. For the performers in your group, there's a grand piano in the living area – or plug a phone into the sound system to play more professional beats. Bedrooms each deliver a sense of serenity, courtesy of pastel colour schemes and reclaimed wooden furniture. But you won't want to hang out alone for too long – the infinity pool is surrounded by daybeds, while the built-in stone barbecue has carved-stone seats for everyone to keep an eye on the action. To amp up the energy, there are pétanque courts, table tennis and foosball tables and a basketball hoop. Glimpses of the sea are visible from the roof terrace, or you can jump on one of the home's bikes for a trip to the shore before heading back for sundowners on the wraparound terrace.

Home truths:
*The home's pool and pond are not fenced in so small children will need to be kept an eye on
*This home offers parking for six cars
*The bunkbed room has a sink and cleaning station in it and is best suited to children
*The roof terrace has very low fencing – it's not recommended to drink up here
