Can Sankisha - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

Soon after stepping through the door of this luminous, newly-renovated villa you understand why they chose to call it Can Sankisha – or ‘Happy Home’ in Swahili. Clean lines, uncluttered light-filled spaces, and crisp whitewashed walls provide the canvas for carefully curated designer furnishings, colourful contemporary artworks and the occasional touch of rustic-chic. From the open-plan main living area, cool slabs of grey stone segue into hardwood decking to create a flowing indoor-outdoor environment synonymous with Mediterranean living.

And it’s outdoors you’ll likely spend most of your time here, where a series of sun-drenched terraces are scattered with places to chill poolside – take your pick from squishy beanbags, comfy sun-loungers or double daybeds. But wherever you choose to flop, it’s the views that really steal the show here. Thanks to a privileged position nestled into a hillside overlooking Ibiza’s scenic west coast, this villa affords you spectacular panoramic vistas and swoon-worthy sunsets.

Together with its stylishly understated finish, the villa is awash with high-end features. The highlight is the sleek L-shaped swimming pool with water feature, surrounded by spacious sun-drench terraces and shaded sofa seating areas. A swish outside lounge with plump Royal Botania couches provides the perfect spot for dusk drinks and sunset-gazing.

Inside, the kitchen is beautifully finished in natural woods and equipped with top-level appliances such as Nespresso machine and a Siemens oven, while a Quooker tap provides purified and instant boiling water. Lingering lunches or balmy dinners can be enjoyed under the shade of a wooden pergola, and one terrace down a stone chess set adds a sense of fun.

All bedrooms are havens of serenity, too, with a calming palette and beds dressed in crisp linens and feather pillows. Each has its own ensuite bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower, while the master suite opens outside to a chunky stone tub – perfect for soaking under the stars. Villa-branded beach towels, bathrobes and toiletries all add to the feel of a private boutique-hotel experience.
