Swimming with Dolphins

Finished in a rather fetching shade of salmon and overlooked by verdant hillsides, this villa may look rather impressive in the background of your photos, but, more importantly, it has everything you need for an unforgettable Ibizan getaway.

It's immediately pretty clear where the bulk of your afternoons will be spent – switching your time between the cooling waters of the swimming pool, the loungers on the terrace and the alfresco dining table on the verandah. There's even a balcony up on the first floor that makes for a fabulous spot to catch the sunset.

Inside, the living quarters receive a wonderful amount of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling glass doors dotted around the walls and this flows about the open layout. There's a simplicity to the interior design that verges on minimalist, which really works with the vast amount of space that's found behind the four walls.

When it comes to getting to know Ibiza a little better, the restaurants and nightlife of the island's main town can be reached in around five minutes' drive, while the nearest beach is even closer than that – the golden sands of Talamanca are two minutes' drive away.
