Villa Senda

Set among pine-covered hills just outside Jesús, Villa Senda is a contemporary six-bedroom estate where the scale of the landscape is matched by the confidence of the architecture.

The house occupies some 70,000 square metres of land, with long views across the valley to the Mediterranean in the distance.

The architecture is emphatically modern: low, geometric volumes, expanses of glass and carefully framed views that bring the surrounding countryside into almost every room. Inside, the mood is quieter. Polished concrete floors, muted tones and natural materials soften the strong architectural lines, while full-height windows fill the principal living spaces with light.

At the heart of the house, a split-level reception room opens towards the terraces and gardens. The adjoining kitchen sits behind a wall of glass, its streamlined cabinetry arranged around a substantial marble island.

The relationship between house and landscape becomes more pronounced outside. A swimming pool extends across three levels, crossed by a timber walkway leading to a sun deck seemingly suspended above the water. Nearby, a shaded dining terrace looks across the valley, while a sculptural staircase descends into the gardens and the pine forest beyond.

Four bedroom suites are arranged on the main level, positioned to make the most of the elevated views. An internal lift leads to the lower floor, where there are two further bedroom suites, an independent one-bedroom staff apartment and a generous additional room that could serve as a gym, cinema, studio or private sitting room.

For all its privacy, Villa Senda is not remote. The village of Jesús is only minutes away, with Ibiza Town, Marina Botafoch and the beaches of the east coast within easy reach.
