Featured on the cover of Arquitectura y Diseno and many other publications upon it’s completion, this holiday home in Ibiza is set within a lush interior forest on a mountain top with breathtaking views across the island’s interior and out to sea. The estate is entirely fenced, and with no immediate neighbours allows guests complete privacy.
Designed by London based interiors architect Cate Watt’s Urban Village firm, the home is a harmonious and contemporary take on the traditional Ibizan fincas. Drawing inspiration from both the old and new, the home is composed of a cluster of bright white cubes and angled lines softened by hand finished edges. Composed of traditional thick lime plaster, stone and wood, the natural design elements are used in a contemporary context that is quietly luxurious.
Entering through a walled courtyard with ample lounge and entertaining spaces, the home’s interiors are infused with natural light from oversized picture windows that frame the landscape. The cool, nature and Scandinavian inspired themes and soft neutral palette lend a dreamy aspect to the home while balancing flow, light texture and space to great effect.
The living and dining spaces share the forefront of the house with breathtaking views from every angle while the five en suite bedrooms also enjoy amazing views. The master bedroom includes it’s own private garden and outdoor bath.
The grounds are a beautiful playground of lovely gardens and terraces, a stunning beach pool with a toddler paddling area, and pergolas with loungers for soaking it all in. Head down your private trail just beyond the gardens for a stroll in the mountains all to yourself.
