Casa Chumbera

Surrounded by lush pine forest, there’s a feeling of complete escapism at this four-bedroom villa for rent in Es Cubells, complete with on-site staff.

Nestled in abundant greenery, revel in the peace and tranquillity on offer at Casa Chumbera. Built in 2019, this contemporary villa sits in harmony with the landscape. Situated in a completely walled 65,000 sq m plot and circled by pine trees, its proximity to nature is celebrated at every turn. Floor-to-ceiling glazing looks out over the property’s namesake Chumbera cacti and frames sweeping views of the impressive 26-metre pool.

Wrapping its way around the entire property, a terrace brings the outside in from all angles. Take in the scenery from the al fresco dining table and sitting area – or settle in for the afternoon at the poolside pergola, complete with a second dining table, chill-out area and well-equipped kitchen.

The manicured gardens, landscaped by Portugal-based Nina Gardens, are dotted with ancient olive trees that give way to towering pines, adding to the sense of seclusion. For the ultimate land-to-fork dining experience, there’s a thriving vegetable garden – just call on the services of the resident cook for seasonal meals to remember. To ensure your stay runs smoothly, two further staff also live on-site in a separate property.

Inside, living spaces echo the simplicity and comfort of their outdoor counterparts. White walls and wooden floors unite the generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, filled with furniture and artwork lovingly sourced by the villa’s owners. There’s space to both kick back and socialise – take your pick from multiple sofas and armchairs, the indoor dining table or breakfast bar. Oenophiles, note the wine chiller which can be stocked with vintages from the cellar below.

All four bedrooms are designed for unplugging. Featuring pared-back finishes and a calming colour palette, the principal suite has two walls of glazing that slide open onto the terrace and an outdoor shower. With its tadelakt plaster, there’s a traditional Ibicencan feel to the en suite bathroom, while the rainfall shower, double vanity and deep bathtub lend a spa-like quality. A walk-in wardrobe offers ample storage space.

Accessed from outside the property, the fourth bedroom is ideally suited for teenagers, nannies or those who want their own space. Casa Chumbera also comes with two cars so you can explore the surrounding coves with ease. Load the villa’s paddleboard onto the roof rack of the Land Rover Defender and set off towards Es Torrent or Cala Jondal. Or if you’d rather stay put, high-speed internet ensures you can stay connected.
