Casa La Vista: Villa to Rent in Portinatx, Ibiza

A Blakstad Villa on Ibiza's Wild North Coast

Casa La Vista is two Ibizan houses joined together on 30 acres of private pine forest above the north coast. One is a finca around 800 years old, with its original savina wood ceilings and whitewashed walls. The other was designed by Rolph Blakstad, the architect behind many of Ibiza's best traditional-style homes. Six bedrooms sleep twelve, there's an infinity pool facing the sea, and a private path through the pines leads to a sandy cove.

Living Spaces

The Blakstad house has limestone floors, fountains and rooms that open onto balconies with sea views. The living room has a fireplace and opens onto a Moroccan-style garden on one side and a terrace facing the sea on the other. The old finca keeps its thick white walls and low beamed ceilings, so the two houses feel very different. A property manager looks after the house, and a chef, butler, driver or childcare can be added.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Six bedrooms, all with air conditioning, sleep twelve adults. They're split across the two houses, and several have balconies looking out to the sea.

The Environment

The infinity pool looks over the pine canopy to the Mediterranean, with the hills on either side. Around the houses are courtyard gardens, a rooftop terrace and a play area for kids. Beyond that it's 30 acres of private pine forest, with a path that takes about three minutes to walk down to Cala Xuclà, a small sandy cove.

The Location

Casa La Vista is on Ibiza's quiet, green north coast near Portinatx. Cala Xuclà is a few minutes' walk through the pines, and Portinatx, with its sheltered beaches and harbour, is a short drive. Sant Joan is about 15 minutes away, and Ibiza Town and the airport about 40. You'll want a car.
