Ibiza Town

The cultural capital is your ideal choice if you’re looking to be near historic delights and upmarket nightlife. Explore the ancient narrow streets of Dalt Vila castle and its gorgeous Gothic cathedral just above the harbour. Stroll down streets filled with bouji boutiques and tapas bars and come in for an evening drink at one of the trendy restaurants in the port of Marina. You can also hop on a superyacht to admire the pristine blue waters of Formentera. Stop there for lunch at one of many great chiringuitos (beach restaurants) this little sister-island has to offer. 

 

Roca Llisa

The secured urbanisation of Roca Llisa is a luxurious and secluded residential area situated between Ibiza town and Santa Eulalia (approximately 10 km from each town). Among its facilities there are the famous golf course and a wellness centre offering a variety of holistic therapies. A small, private cove of Cala Olivera is within the walking distance from the urbanisation. Roca Llisa is close to all the essential amenities such as restaurants, among them the beautiful, rural Amante, bars and shops to ensure a comfortable stay. 

 

Es Cubells

Es Cubells is without a doubt one of the most popular and exclusive areas for a villa rental in Ibiza.
