Can Alamar

A sprawling rural villa to rent with two swimming pools, a tennis court and al fresco bar. Drink in the scent of citrus groves.

Passed down through the same family for more than 50 years, this country estate immerses you in the island’s rural landscape. Carefully restored, it’s all thick, whitewashed walls and smooth terracotta, textured woods and throwback features. South-facing terraces with views that stretch across rolling hills. Turn up Sonos sound system and slow down in style.

There’s a warm welcome for friends and family here, with communal areas designed for getting together and a scattering of quiet nooks for me-time. Can Alamar’s several buildings are connected by wide archways and a quaint courtyard. It’s the link between the bright, open-plan living area, complete with a kitted-out Ibizan kitchen, and the al fresco bar, barbecue and wood-burning oven. Start off well with sunrise stretches on the covered yoga deck. Wind down with evening massages in the Mongolian yurt.

Outside, the grounds here are bountiful, carefully tended over decades. Breathe deep on walks through groves of fat oranges and fragrant lavender. Enjoy a match on the grassy tennis court or put your feet up in the shaded chill-out area. A dip in one of two free-form pools surrounded by tall cypress trees. There’s something to keep everyone happy here.

Away from the main house, the master suite is a serene escape, with dual-aspect windows and double French doors that open to a private terrace. That said, earthy hues, soft daylight and touch-me linens keep all six bedrooms calm and grounding. Five enjoy king-size beds and en suites, while one further bedroom shares a family bathroom.
