Il Mare, Es Cubells

Tucked quietly on an Es Cubells clifftop, this six-bedroom villa for sale frames unobstructed sea views. Set among waving palms and rocky cliff faces, Il Mare occupies a remarkably private position on Ibiza’s southwest coast. From almost every angle, the eye is drawn outward: across the sea, towards the islands and horizon beyond.

Arranged over two levels, the villa has been designed to sit quietly within its setting. Interiors are pared back and tactile, with natural materials, muted tones and expanses of glass that keep the landscape in constant view. In the main living space, full-height sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. A dining area leads into the sitting room, where an integrated wine fridge is discreetly built in.

Through Crittall-style doors, the kitchen is subtly separated without losing its connection to the rest of the house. A marble waterfall island forms its centrepiece, set against deep brown cabinetry with warm metallic detailing. Above the sink, a large window retracts almost entirely, pulling the sea inside.

Outside, the architecture gives way to a series of terraces and a well-maintained garden. Beyond the kitchen, a sheltered dining area sits beneath rattan lanterns and a canopy of trees, while shaded – and sun trap – seating spaces are arranged around the house at different levels. Steps descend towards the swimming pool, where a rustic bar brings a bohemian feel.

Back inside and upstairs, the principal suite is considered. White walls, stone floors and soft natural light allow the view to take precedence, with glass doors opening onto a private terrace looking out over the coastline. The adjoining bathroom continues the same sense of calm, with a freestanding bath, rainfall shower and floating double vanity.

Four further bedroom suites share this floor, each oriented towards the sea and opening onto its own terrace. A sixth bedroom sits apart in a separate guest house, offering an added degree of privacy for visitors or staff.

Tucked into the pine-clad hills near Es Cubells, this secluded retreat pairs effortless privacy with easy access to Ibiza’s southern highlights. Dine barefoot at Casa Jondal, where just-caught seafood meets shoreline simplicity, or soak up the soundscape of Balearic beats at Blue Marlin. While the surrounding area is known for its stillness and slow pace, the vibrant energy of Ibiza Town is just a short drive away – offering the best of both worlds. Spend a day in the crystal-clear waters of Es Torrent or the bay of Porroig, or head down to the UNESCO-protected Las Salinas nature park.
