Contemporary Design in the Pines
Villa Lydia is a striking contemporary property surrounded by the green pine forests of Ibiza’s southwest coast. The architecture uses clean lines and a flat-roofed modern structure, standing out with bold terracotta and peach exterior walls against the natural landscape. The fenced grounds ensure complete privacy, creating a quiet environment away from the busier resort towns.
Inside, the design relies on bright white backdrops contrasted with blocks of contemporary colour. Polished white cement floors run continuously through the interior spaces and extend out onto the terraces, creating a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor areas. The property is fully air-conditioned and features a dedicated office space for those who need to work during their stay.
Living Spaces and Sea Views
The open-plan living and dining room is bright and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open directly onto the pool terrace. Adjoining this space is a fully equipped modern kitchen, which leads straight out to a covered outdoor dining area. The sleeping arrangements are divided across different levels, providing privacy for larger groups. Three suites are spread across the top two floors, offering panoramic views of the water. The remaining three suites are located on the lower garden level, accessed via a private entrance rather than through the main communal areas.
The outdoor spaces are designed around the sweeping sea and sunset views. A large infinity pool is bordered by a bright white terrace lined with sunloungers and parasols. Next to the house, a purpose-built shaded structure with a bamboo canopy houses a generous al fresco dining table, a barbecue, and outdoor sofas. From this elevated vantage point, guests can watch the sun set over the Mediterranean Sea.
Relaxed Coastal Living
Sleeping up to twelve guests, the villa is well suited to extended families or groups of friends who appreciate modern design and a quiet coastal setting. The separation of the lower garden suites gives independent couples or older teenagers their own space, while the communal areas are large enough for everyone to gather comfortably.
A typical day here revolves around the water. Mornings might begin with breakfast under the shaded terrace, followed by swimming in the infinity pool or walking down to the nearby secluded beach spot. In the afternoon, guests can stream music through the villa's sound system or retreat to the chill-out sofas. As evening approaches, the outdoor barbecue and dining area become the natural focal point for dinner while watching the sunset.
Exploring Cala Bassa and Beyond
The villa is located in the Cala Bassa area, a coastal stretch in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany. Cala Bassa itself is a sheltered, family-friendly beach known for its soft white sand and the shade provided by old sabina pines. It is also home to the popular Cala Bassa Beach Club, which draws visitors for its food and relaxed atmosphere.
The property is just a few minutes on foot from a quiet, secluded stretch of the coast. For a change of scenery, the celebrated clear waters of Cala Conta are a short drive away. When guests need broader amenities, shops, or boat access, the lively town of San Antonio is located just across the bay, offering a contrast to the calm environment of the villa.
