Roca Llisa for a villa holiday
Roca Llisa is a gated residential estate in the municipality of Santa Eulalia, close to the village of Jesús and about seven kilometres from Ibiza Town. Its name is tied to Golf Ibiza, the only golf club on the island, which lies right beside it. The estate has apartments and villas, some on hills near the sea with views towards Formentera, others further inland among pine woods.
It is a residential area first, and it feels like one: calm, orderly and well kept. There is no beach inside the estate, and the beaches and towns are a short drive away. It suits golfers, and families who want a quiet base close to Ibiza Town. Our choice of villas here is small. If you would like to compare more houses, our villas in Jesús and Santa Eulalia are close by, and our guide to where to stay in Ibiza compares every area.
The golf course
Golf Ibiza lies on the road from Jesús to Cala Llonga. It has two courses, one of 18 holes and one of 9, the smaller being the former Roca Llisa club: 27 holes in all. There is also a practice range, a pro shop, a restaurant called Hoyo 19 and teachers for all levels.
Green fees and tee times are set by the club, so it is best to ask them directly before you travel.
Casa Clareta
Casa Clareta is a traditional Ibizan farmhouse inside the estate, fully renovated in 2019, with white walls, mature pines and green gardens. It sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and each opening directly onto the garden and the pool terrace. The grounds are fully fenced, and the house has air conditioning, Wi-Fi and private parking. The golf course is a short walk away.
The outdoor spaces are laid out for long days in the open air. The private pool has a shallow entry like a beach, with white terraces and a flat lawn around it. A bamboo-roofed terrace holds hammocks and woven seating, and a separate wooden deck has a large dining table and a built-in barbecue. The size suits a family or two couples; our villas for 4 to 6 people are listed together. For what a week costs across the island, see our guide.
Beaches, towns and getting around
Beaches: Cala Llonga is a wide sandy bay whose shallow seabed runs a long way out, with a promenade, bars and restaurants. Cala Olivera is a small, unspoilt cove. Both are within a ten-minute drive of Casa Clareta. S'Estanyol is a good place to snorkel. Sol d'en Serra, just past Cala Llonga, is a small rocky cove with a restaurant; its currents make it unsuitable for children.
Towns: Jesús has bakeries, cafés and supermarkets for the week's shopping. Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia, with their restaurants, boutiques and marinas, are each about 15 minutes by car.
Getting there: the airport is about 20 minutes by car. A hire car is the simplest way to get around from here. Ask us about a boat day or a private chef.
