When thinking of the Balearic Island of Ibiza, white sand, sunny days, and hedonist summers come to mind. But the White Isle – located southeast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean Sea, is also renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and thriving foodie and wellness scene. While crowds flock to Ibiza in summer, winters offer a mild climate, beautiful sunsets, blossoming almond trees, fewer crowds and an air of tranquillity, though still offering a community feel thanks to its year-round inhabitants. Sabina Ibiza is positioning itself as the go-to winter escape on the island – a collection of fifty unique villas by fourteen renowned architects and designers from around the world, including John Pawson, David Chipperfield, Elias Rizo and Manuel Aires Mateus.
Perfect for families looking for an alternative winter escape, reconnecting with nature and exploring the island’s many wellness offerings, each villa has four to six en-suite bedrooms, family and cinema rooms, outdoor barbecues and sunset sea views. Sabina’s villas allow visitors to experience the island’s natural beauty and are not available to rent out of season when the island, according to many locals, is at its most beautiful. The villas are available to rent for a minimum of one month – also making them great options for digital nomads.
At Sabina, guests can enjoy the amenities of a five-star hotel with the flexibility and privacy of private villas, allowing them to truly unwind, escape, prepare their own meals, host drinks or events, and unwind over the winter period. Of Sabina’s 50 villas, only a handful remain to be sold, making the rental properties all the more in demand. Each villa is unique and showcases a distinct architectural style, using natural materials to complement the surroundings and promote the estate’s ecological ethos as well as being individual and private.
All rental villas come with full access to Sabina’s vibrant schedule of unique events and programmes, access to Sabina’s Clubhouse facilities, such as the Sabina restaurant, the nightclub, the temple, state-of-the-art gym, Pilates studio, spa with sauna, hammam and two treatment rooms, padel and tennis courts, and kids’ area. All guests can enjoy the benefits of the estate’s discreet housekeeping and maintenance, too, if required.
