Cana Milene

Cana Milene is a modern five-bedroom villa set up the hill from Cala Jondal, on Ibiza’s south coast, in 25,000 square metres of private grounds among pine and juniper, with a saltwater infinity pool, terraced gardens and a view down the slope to the Mediterranean. Ten guests, seven bathrooms, the beach and Blue Marlin four or five minutes away.

Five en-suite bedrooms sleep ten. We’d put it forward for a family, a group of couples, or a retreat that wants a gym, a long table and quiet nights after the beach clubs. Of the villas in Ibiza we place, it’s a hillside retreat with Cala Jondal a few minutes below.

THE HOUSE

Inside, white walls, polished floors and long runs of glass look out over the wooded hills. Sliding glass doors open the main living space straight onto the terrace; inside, a natural wood dining table for twelve and cool cream sofas look out at the pool. A fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, a freezer and a coffee machine, and the gym gets its light from big glass doors to the terrace. Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, Apple TV, a Bluetooth sound system and an outdoor one, a washing machine, a safe and an alarm are in the house; the plot is fenced, with private gates and parking.

THE BEDROOMS

On the first floor, the master suite has a 200 by 200 bed, a dressing room, a large terrace with sea views and a bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Bedroom two, on the main level, also has a 200 by 200 bed and a private terrace. Bedrooms three, four and five are on the lower floor with 180 by 200 beds, and three has its own terrace. Every room has an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning and plenty of storage, and the bedrooms are done in soft golds and greys with Balinese figures and bright artwork. Seven bathrooms in all.

THE GARDEN AND THE POOL

Pebbled paths cross the terraced garden through palms, cacti and more formal beds to chill-out corners, shaded Balinese daybeds and seating under wooden pergolas. Saltwater and private, the infinity pool sits among terraces of daybeds and sofas, and there’s an outdoor shower. On a high terrace, an alfresco dining table for twelve stands under a wooden pergola with the countryside in view, at its best at sunset. There’s a barbecue for the evenings.
