Villa Bes

Villa Bes is a large white modern house with an L-shaped pool that glows blue at dusk and a courtyard marked by a bold white spiral sculpture. Palms and lawns surround the terraces, and a tennis court is tucked among the pines beyond.

The living room is double-height and full of art, with low tan leather sofas, zebra rugs and a recessed lounge with a long red bench facing a big screen. The kitchen is a long run of white island and wood cabinetry, and the dining table sits by a wall of glass that opens to the garden. As a luxury villa rental in Ibiza, it has both scale and personality.

Villa Bes has six bedrooms. Some look out to the garden through sliding doors, one has a carved wood screen, another a seated Buddha, and bathrooms include a boat-shaped wooden tub by a window and a stone tub against colourful art.

Outdoors, white daybeds under square umbrellas line the pool, there's dining under a sail shade and a reed pergola on a timber deck. Inside the house, a spa pool with arched windows and soft lighting is perfect after tennis. Ibiza is one of the great island escapes in Spain, and this villa suits active families and groups of friends.
