Es Cubells, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain

Gaze across the ocean towards Formentera at Can Cubells, a charming finca that capitalises on its unbeatable coastal location. With the sea in the foreground and rugged mountains rising just behind, there's a feeling of complete escapism here. Switch off in the lush, oasis-like garden, where mature pine and palm trees add to the sense of privacy. Or soak up the panoramic views while taking a dip in the inviting pool.

An exciting renovation project, there's the potential to modernise the interiors throughout as well as reconfigure the existing floorplan, which could add two further bedrooms if required. Arranged over a single floor, the finca prioritises inside-out living, with all rooms currently offering access to the garden.

Daily life revolves around the central living area and kitchen, which spills out onto a covered terrace. An undulating wooden ceiling mimics the rolling waves on the horizon and adds character to the multipurpose space. Terracotta tiles are cooling underfoot, while there's a working fire for the colder months. Generous proportions set a relaxed tone that carries through to the kitchen - a well-equipped space served by an adjoining utility and laundry room.

Two wings off the living area lead to the bedrooms - all of which have the potential to be updated. Painted in invigorating tones, the principal suite comes with a spacious bathroom, featuring a bathtub and shower. The connected guest annex houses another bedroom and bathroom, making it ideal for visiting guests, while a further bedroom comes with ample storage. It's served by a shower room with a dual vanity unit.

Location
There's an away-from-it-all atmosphere to laid back Es Cubells that's mirrored in its scenic surroundings and exquisite coastline. Soak up the sun at Cala Jondal - and the Balearic beats at beach club Blue Marlin - or dive into the crystal-clear waters at the quiet, pebbly coves of Es Torrent or Porroig. Head to local favourite Ses Boques for a leisurely lunch, then explore the restaurants and bars in the nearby village of San José. For a livelier atmosphere, Ibiza Town is only a 20-minute drive away.
