Contemporary design and coastal light
Villa Riley sits within a secure residential area in Vista Alegre on the south coast. The property is built with a sharp, contemporary profile, using extensive floor-to-ceiling glass to draw the sea views inside. Inside, polished white stone floors run through the living spaces, creating a cool and uncluttered environment.
The interior design relies on neutral tones, clean lines and bespoke artwork to give the home a calm, sophisticated finish. A fully fitted modern kitchen includes high-end appliances and a wine cooler, alongside a dining space that seats ten. Large sliding doors connect this central room directly to the main outdoor deck, allowing the sea breeze to circulate through the ground floor.
Sleeping quarters and outdoor living
The property accommodates up to ten guests across five en-suite bedrooms. The master suite takes up the entire top floor, providing a private terrace with clear sightlines across the water towards Formentera. The remaining four bedrooms maintain the same minimal styling and offer quiet, comfortable rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms.
Outside, a wide hardwood deck spans the width of the house. It borders a south-facing infinity pool that looks out over the Mediterranean. Grey sunloungers line the water's edge, while shaded lounge seating sits beneath the architectural overhang of the upper floor.
The exterior spaces are designed for spending long days outside. An al fresco dining setup and a barbecue make outdoor meals simple, supported by an outdoor music system. A flat lawn area provides space for games or reading in the sun, entirely fenced for privacy.
Daily life at the villa
This home works well for families or groups of friends who want a structured, modern base with reliable sea views. The layout allows a group of ten to spend time together on the main deck or find their own space across the different levels and terraces.
Mornings often begin with coffee on the master terrace, watching the light change over Es Torrent bay. During the day, the group can move between the infinity pool and the shaded seating areas. The kitchen and barbecue setup make it easy to prepare lunches at home, eating at the outdoor dining table while listening to music through the exterior sound system.
As evening approaches, the south-facing position holds the late sun. Guests can gather on the wooden deck for drinks from the wine cooler before heading out to a local restaurant or settling in for a quiet night with the smart television and satellite channels.
Exploring Vista Alegre and Es Cubells
The property is located in Vista Alegre, a secure enclave near the village of Es Cubells. This part of the south coast is known for its quiet, clifftop setting and uninterrupted views of the sea. It is an area that appeals to those who value privacy and a relaxed pace, far from the busier resort towns.
Access to the water is straightforward, with the white-pebble beach of Es Torrent located close by. Other quiet coves like Cala Llentrisca and Sa Caleta are also a short drive away, offering clear water and a traditional coastal feel.
For wider amenities, the village of San José is within easy reach, providing local shops, cafes and restaurants. The popular beach clubs of Cala Jondal are also nearby, giving guests the option to mix quiet days at the villa with lively afternoons by the sea.
