Casa del Sur

Perched above the Mediterranean, this five-bedroom Es Cubells villa for rent looks out to a sweeping horizon that stretches to Formentera.

Set high on a pine-clad hillside just five minutes from Es Cubells, Casa del Sur frames the Mediterranean at its most cinematic. Across 750m² of carefully composed interiors and expansive outdoor living, spaces gaze out towards a 180-degree panorama of the sea.

Designed by Blakstad, the main villa’s social settings blur lines between indoors and out. Oversized glazing seamlessly merges the reception room and terrace, offering sweeping sea views whether you’re on the sofa or sinking into the pool. Step out from here to the adjoining terrace, where an integrated sound system sets the tone for entertaining. A 12m x 5m swimming pool is bordered by an inviting wooden deck; an array of tiered terraces invite long lunches and late-night gatherings. Beyond, a tranquil cascade and fish pond punctuate the gardens with moments of stillness, while an outdoor gym sits discreetly among the greenery.

Back inside, interior design balances the rustic with the contemporary. Natural light pours across whitewashed walls and bold artwork, while sightlines draw you instinctively to the water. The open-plan kitchen is finished with organic materials: eye-catching Sabina beams above, surrounded by smooth marble countertops. A Smeg range oven, wine cellar and walk-in refrigerator are as functional as they are stylish.

Across the grounds, five bedroom suites are arranged for privacy, each with its own connection to the scenery. Three suites have independent entrances, making the villa as practical as it is picturesque. The principal suite is a standout – vast doors pull back so you wake to an uninterrupted sea view, with a private terrace to soak it in from sunrise to nightfall. Elsewhere, the en suite bathroom is elevated with smooth white stone. A second bedroom suite pairs sweeping panoramas with a spa-like en suite, while others feature walk-in dressing rooms and secluded courtyards.

Housekeeping is provided six days a week, complemented by a gardener tending the grounds.
