Casa del Árbol

Nestled in a rich pine forest and with sweeping panoramic views of the sea, Casa del Árbol is a characterful home that takes inspiration from its lush Mediterranean surrounds.

Design studio Ibiza Interiors’ recent renovation elevates this five-bedroom villa with natural materials and swathes of sunlight. Just moments away from the bay of Cala Moli, Casa del Árbol epitomises an idyllic island retreat.

The main house is an ode to the rich landscape of Ibiza, with wooden furniture and textural linens sourced from local artisans on the island. The kitchen is all smooth marble worktops and warm timber cabinetry, whilst a relaxed sofa faces an exposed log fire. The natural stone floors keep the home cool in the summer; during the island’s cooler months, underfloor heating ensures a cosiness throughout. The installation of a solarium welcomes sunshine inside; gaze out at the lemons trees from the dining area.  

With landscape design by Arnaud Casaus, oleanders, agapanthus, mastics and olive trees offer a verdant backdrop for days spent in the sun. A grill and pizza oven are neatly engineered into a whitewashed stone wall, while dappled sunlight plays out across a large dining table. As evening draws in, palm-leaf cone lamps illuminate the entertaining area. The turquoise infinity pool seems to seamlessly blend into the western waters beyond, with inviting lounge spots scattered around the surrounding plot. Hidden amongst the vegetation, find a serene treehouse deck with views that stretch out to the sea.

Three bedrooms in the main house are thoroughly tranquil spaces: brushed plaster walls and rattan-paneled wardrobes balance the contemporary and the rustic. The master bedroom – which has forest and sea views – leads to an inviting ensuite bathroom, with a skylight casting reams of light across the free-standing bath, dual vanity and waterfall shower. There are two separate guest annexes; one enjoys its own private entrance, the other is complete with bespoke bunkbeds and a games room ideal for youngsters.
