The Enchanted Beach

The Enchanted Beach: Balearic Islands

Though Ibiza tends to be known more for its parties than its museums, staying here may feel like you’re practically living in a gallery. With its traditional whitewashed walls, wood accents, and terracotta flooring, this home's a work of art that’s impeccably styled and maintained – oh, and the art mosaic by the fireplace is by Salvador Dali. Rather than paintings, the walls of the living area boast windows that frame picture-perfect views of the sea and the legendary rocks of Es Vedrà. While most visitors travel to get a sight of the rocks and a taste of the serenity they’re said to impart, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Es Vedrà and its relaxing properties from morning till night – whether you’re on the couch, eating at the dining room table or unwinding on one of the many patios. Enjoy the complimentary breakfast set on the terrace and take in the quiet deep blue of the morning sea, then move poolside to a lounger or use the elegant mosaic slide to plunge in for a dip. When the afternoon sun is high, refresh in the outdoor showers and slip into the shaded outdoor areas. Even better, sprawl out on the king-sized daybed on the terrace and soak in the sun – it’s the kind of place you could lose track of the hours. If you do, you'll end up with a remarkable view of the sunset, but we wouldn’t hold it against you if you caught the show from one of the three local beaches instead, or visited the scenic village of Es Cubells. When night falls, end your day simmering in the hot tub with the stars above you. Though you can’t see Es Vedrà well in the dark, we’re pretty sure you’ll feel entirely at peace.
