The Disco Volante

The Disco Volante: Balearic Islands

Perched on a hillside with enviable views over Ibiza Town and glistening azure waters of the Med, this spectacular home gives us definite Bond baddie hideout vibes.

Split over three levels, the opulent interior gleams with polished marble surfaces throughout, which bounce the sunlight around, illuminating those corners that aren't placed right by a set of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors (of which there are many). An ornate spiral staircase corkscrews up through the home, providing easy access to the open layout of the informal lounge, chic dining area and contemporary kitchen.

Step through the sliding doors and out onto the impressive terrace, designed for you to experience maximum comfort and style beneath the island's cloudless summer skies. Sun loungers surround an incredible infinity pool, and there's an alfresco dining table for outdoor eating and a comfortable seating area to sink into with a good book.

Back inside, the four impeccably decorated bedrooms are located on the second floor. Each one is outstandingly appointed, so no one will be left feeling as though they've drawn the short straw. However, with its king-size bed, jetted bathtub and scenic private terrace, the main bedroom scoops the prize for the most sought-after.

A couple of kilometres away, the soft sand and crystal-clear waters of Talamanca Beach might prove enough to tempt you down from your luxurious lair. Here, casual cafes and restaurants line the beachside promenade, playing relaxing music that's barely audible over the gentle lapping of the waves at the shore. Continue a few kilometres further along the coast, and you'll find yourself exploring the characterful cobbled streets of Ibiza Town's romantic old quarter, the historic heart of this sun-soaking Spanish island.
