Take a Chill Pill

Take a Chill Pill: Balearic Islands

Inland from the coast, close to the white-washed village of Sant Joan de Labritja, this contemporary masterpiece neatly sums what Ibiza means to many people. It's a sparkling, luxurious place where your every whim is taken care of. With the pool taking centre-stage, take your pick from the array of decks, lawns and terraces to suit your mood. Or soak in the Jacuzzi while the kids let off some steam in the private play park. Throw open the huge window wall to the blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, and show off your chef skills by preparing a lavish lunch in the outdoor kitchen area. Head out to one of the nearby beaches for the day, or dine out in pretty Portinatx – just a twelve-minute drive or taxi ride away. In the morning, wake up to a fine breakfast (prepared by the chef, no less) and get ready for another relaxing day under the Ibizan sun.
