Villa Mariposa, Ibiza

Ibiza may be famous for its nightlife, but after a stay at this villa, you’ll remember its stunning natural scenery too. Set on a rise overlooking the sea, the sleek modern villa boasts panoramic views of the island’s coast and hills and is surrounded by lush landscaping that includes the eponymous twin palms. Five bedrooms and contemporary decor make for a memorable atmosphere indoors as well.

The villa sits in the center of a large patio with an infinity pool and rows of daybeds and chaise lounges tucked under sun umbrellas, all facing the ocean and in complete privacy. A separate deck with a barbecue and outdoor dining area has equally impressive views, and an al-fresco fitness area is shaded by a canopy so you don’t work up too much of a sweat. After the sun sets, flip on the sound system, unroll the projection screen to watch a movie, or let friends at home know what they’re missing via Wi-Fi. The villa is overseen by a housekeeper, property manager and groundskeeper, and light laundry service is included in your stay.

Polished concrete floors, white walls and whitewashed beamed ceilings create an airy, gallery-like space for the villa’s modern furnishings and artwork. Stretched out along one story and studded with large windows, the house is designed to take advantage of the sea views. The living room has fold-away glass walls leading to the terrace, so the sitting area’s clean-lined white leather sofa and chairs almost feel like they’re outside. The adjacent dining area pairs a rustic wooden table with curvy white mid-century chairs. In the fully equipped kitchen, glossy, flat-fronted cabinets have a clean look, and a burgundy backsplash adds a hit of sophisticated color.

There are five bedrooms in the main house at this Villa and one in the guest house; all have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. In the main house, the master suite has a king bed and walk-in closet and opens to the terrace. The other four bedrooms each have double beds; one opens to the pool and another opens to the terrace. In the guest house, there is an additional double bed.

Plan to start your stay by flying into Ibiza Airport. There’s plenty on the island for active and relaxed travelers alike, from the Club de Golf Ibiza and charming villages worth exploring to beaches and waterfront restaurants and bars. Don’t miss the historic ports, ruins of ancient settlements or a sunset over the ocean, watched from a cafe terrace.
