Santa Eulària Des Riu, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain

Spanning a 1,700 square metre plot that skirts the seafront, the idyllic coast of Cala Llenya is within touching distance at Casa Minerva. Inspired by the natural surroundings and unrivalled ocean views, island architects Blakstad have envisaged a contemporary five-bedroom villa. Sold fully furnished, it is arranged over three floors and framed around a spectacular infinity pool that merges with the waves on the horizon.

True to Blakstad form, natural materials and modern finishes combine to produce a home that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. On the ground floor, an expansive central living area is lined with glazing on both sides that slides back onto a pair of terraces. To the front, a veranda-covered dining area with four arches overlooks the pool and the waves beyond. To the rear, a patio area backdropped by hills.

An independent kitchen is also found on this floor, together with three bedroom suites, all finished in the same soothing, understated style. Above, two further bedroom suites share access to a scenic terrace. For storage, a basement level has been factored into the plans, together with an engine room. Meanwhile, underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout make this a home for all seasons.

When the ocean beckons, the crystalline shores of Cala Llenya are within walking distance. Slightly further along the coast, explore the coves of Cala Mastella or dive into the azure waters of Cala Boix. To turn up the tempo, lively Santa Eulalia is also within easy reach.
