Villa Amaya, Central Ibiza

Forest seclusion, sculptural design. This palatial seven-bedroom villa for sale takes a coveted position close to Santa Gertrudis and Morna International College.

Set within 11,300m² of private woodland, Villa Amaya strays from the typical Ibicencan blueprint. Geometry drives the architecture – a collaboration between Jaime Serra and Bruno Reymond – all sweeping curves, towering double-height volumes and floor-to-ceiling glazing that pulls the landscape in.

The main living area is conceived as one continuous volume: a generous sweep of open space that anchors the home. Light reaches in from every angle, catching polished concrete floors and softening a predominantly clean-lined approach. Oversized sliding doors extend the footprint to the terrace, where day-to-day routines naturally migrate. Breakfasts unfold beneath the pergola; afternoons stretch out beside the 22-metre saltwater pool. Beyond, the grounds reward wandering, with natural paths threading through olive trees and orange groves. For those who prefer to keep active, a full-size tennis court awaits on more upbeat afternoons.

Back indoors, the sense of scale carries through to the kitchen and dining spaces. Streamlined cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances underpin a serious culinary set-up, with direct terrace access making alfresco dining an easy default.

Come evening, seven bedroom suites have been arranged with care. The expansive principal suite opens to a private terrace with distant sea views, while four further bedrooms are spacious and considered. One benefits from its own private pool – heated and fitted with swim jets. Elsewhere, two guest suites enjoy privacy, positioned across the grounds with independent access.

Location
Set just outside Santa Gertrudis, one of Ibiza’s most sought-after villages, Can Palmyra balances seclusion with proximity. A short drive brings you to its lively square – known for its relaxed restaurants, artisan boutiques and year-round energy. From here, the island opens up easily: beaches to the north, Ibiza Town to the south. Back at home, the pace is altogether slower – surrounded by forest, with little to interrupt the stillness. For those relocating with children, acclaimed school Morna International College offers an international version of the British education system – teaching in both English and Spanish.
