El Zafiro, Ibiza Town

From the wide terraces and poolside of El Zafiro you are greeted to a beautiful sweeping view of sparkling blue Balearic Sea. From here, you can see the beaches of Playa den Bossa, Cap des Falco, and the Las Salinas salt flats stretching between white-tipped turquoise waves all the way to Formentera. Sitting on an 8,000m2 plot, just 4km away from Ibiza town, this holiday home enjoys a fabulous location in the hills near Ibiza’s south-east coast. The jaw-dropping sea views are best enjoyed from the sunny terraces around the large, freshwater pool. By day, soak up some sunshine on one of the wide daybeds or relax under shady parasols on soft lounge seating. By night, this poolside idyll is a wonderful place to socialise under starry Ibizan skies. Beyond the pool terrace, palm-filled gardens, sun-kissed lawns and shady courtyards offer further places to relax. Closer to the house, on an upper terrace, an al-fresco dining area with barbeque seats eight. This is a beautiful property, delightfully decorated with laid-back glamour and a louche sophistication. Inside, the main living area features cool white walls, polished concrete floors, and plush, inviting sofa seating. With a winter fireplace and terrace access, this is a cosy room that can be enjoyed year-round. Entertainment includes Spanish and Dutch satellite TV as well as the Bose surround sound system. The sleek, modern kitchen features everything you might need during your time here, from Gaggenau coffee machine to Liebherr wine cooler. The formal dining room, with seating for eight, looks over the courtyard for a secluded, private feel to your nights in. Accommodation at El Zafiro is split between the main house and a separate guest house. Rooms open onto the shady hacienda-style courtyard or onto sunny terraces with sparkling sea views. With four pristine, super-king-size rooms in the main house – each with a luxurious en-suite – another two super-king-size rooms are to be found in the guest house (these share a bathroom). Guests can also enjoy the light-filled gym, with a good selection of equipment, and more beautiful views from the two sunny terraces on the upper level of the property.
