Villa Abigail

From its hillside above Talamanca, Villa Abigail looks straight across the water at Ibiza Town: its rooftops and the old town of Dalt Vila, open Mediterranean water and, on clear days, the faint outline of Formentera on the horizon. It is a view that tells you exactly where you are.

Floor-to-ceiling windows carry that panorama into every room. Mornings are for coffee while the old town catches the first sun, afternoons for the infinity pool, and evenings for watching the lights come on across the water while something is cooking on the barbecue. Talamanca's beach cafés are only a few minutes away, yet up here the view is the one thing that asks for your attention.

Marble, stone and Mediterranean light

The interiors are cool grey and white, with polished marble floors and clean contemporary lines that let the light do the work. A stone feature wall rises through the stairwell, tying each level together with an organic texture. On the first floor, a relaxed lounge gives way to a mezzanine sitting area, and there are both formal and informal dining spaces served by a sleek, well-equipped kitchen, so a quick breakfast and a long dinner each have their own setting.

The four bedrooms share the same calm palette and the light that floods every room. Air conditioning, satellite TV and a music system around the house take care of the rest, for a quiet night in or for friends coming over for a drink before heading out.

Outside, the saltwater infinity pool seems to run straight into the view, with sunloungers lined up along its edge for long afternoons in the sun. There is a barbecue and space for al fresco dining, and behind the house the countryside keeps the setting green. The grounds are fenced. After dark, the old town across the water becomes the backdrop to dinner.

Talamanca and the rest of the island

A hire car is the easiest way to explore the rest of the island from here.

The house suits a family or two couples who want Ibiza Town in view, and it makes a memorable choice for a honeymoon. Tell us who is coming and when, and we will show you how a week at Villa Abigail would take shape.
