Can Alegre

SLEEK AND SUN-SOAKED HAVEN

Head-turning villa Can Alegre resides in a quiet neighbourhood close to Ibiza town, meaning its luxury is all yours. Lazy days can be spent floating in the photogenic pool, and the renowned Talamanca Beach is nearby, where you can stretch out on the soft white sand. 

Climbing the steps to the palatial Villa Alegre, you observe the immaculate row of tropical shrubs lining the whitewashed walkway, and the rising hills overhead that border the property in green. You can see right into the villa through its floor-to-ceiling picture windows which flood the interior with natural light and illuminate its stylish features.

In the open-plan living area you admire the trio of cosy living spaces, bedecked with a fireplace, TV and your first glimpse of those sublime views to the sea which begin at the tropical gardens and look out over to the neighbouring island of Formentera. Sinking into the plush sofa with a glass of champagne, kindly pre-chilled by your concierge, you appreciate the harmonious monochrome dècor and feel a wave of relaxation encompass you. You almost don't want to extract yourself from this position, but the need to unpack is the only thing getting in the way of you and the pool waiting for you outside.

With six sprawling bedrooms begging to be claimed, the group kicks off the polite allocation process from which you're excused thanks to your other half's milestone birthday being later this week. Not that you'd mind if you got any one of the other rooms – they all boast magnificent features such as private or shared terraces and elegant ensuites. But yours is the master suite to end all master suites. Neutral tones are set off by futuristic purple lighting, and you have a private terrace with sea-facing views and a huge ensuite with a windowside bathtub. Plus, to help you look your best at all times, it has a large walk-in wardrobe thrown in for good measure.

Time to explore the outdoors. Sunloungers are chosen and suncream applied for your first afternoon in the Ibizan rays. The 30-speaker sound system is immediately put to good use as well as the fully equipped kitchen which has everything you need to make a storm of cocktails.

At night time, Can Alegre really comes to life, proudly showcasing a neon light display that keeps the ambience electric after sunset. You can't wait to sit on the sunken terrace sofas, taking in the last of the views with the promise of an unforgettable week to look forward to.
