Can Calma

With its saltwater pool, historic guest tower and array of suntrap lounge spots, this six-bedroom villa to rent is designed to entertain and unwind.

A short drive away from Ibiza’s vibrant heart of Santa Gertrudis, this six-bedroom finca is set to soothe and entertain throughout the seasons. Outside, lush pine valleys and palm trees surround the secluded plot. Inside, whitewashed walls, tactile woods and swathes of sunlight make for a thoroughly calming setting.

The home opens into a large reception room, its whitewashed walls and timber ceilings beams affording a tranquil rusticity. At one end, the cosy television space is complete with a Smart TV; at the other, a kitchen and dining room are tailor-made for socialising with modern appliances and a marble-topped central island. After dinner, head next door for a game of pool soundtracked by the in-built Sonos sound system.

French doors open to the terrace; the dining area and outdoor kitchen is kept shady under the stone veranda. Smooth steps lead to the saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers to make the most of Ibiza’s summer months. When temperatures drop, the water can be heated to enjoy year-round dips. Embrace the sunrise or sunset on the dedicated yoga deck. From the pool area, a tiered plot gives way to tropical vegetation and the rolling hills beyond.

From the main living space, a spiral staircase ascends to the captivating principal bedroom suite. Vibrancy is brought to the space with contemporary artwork across the walls, while the double bed gazes through an archway to the balcony and outdoor bathroom. Verdant hillside views will backdrop indulgent soaks in the stone bathtub. A guest bedroom suite and two additional bathrooms complete this level, while two more bedrooms are suited off the reception room.

The self-contained guest house is enchanting with its historic stone tower. Complete with two bedrooms, a barbecue and chill-out zone, it’s ideal for honeymooners or those wanting more privacy.
