Can Cielo

Blended boundaries meet convivial spaces. This sprawling island home pairs arresting contemporary design with uninterrupted sea views.

Perched on the pine-tufted hillside of Ibiza’s east coast, a striking five-bedroom villa blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Flanked by palm trees, the distinctive pattern of a gold wall marks the entrance. Stone tablets cross a water feature to grant access to this design-led home.

The three functions of cooking, dining and relaxing are perfectly balanced at the centre of the villa. Generous volumes create a sense of openness, exaggerated by fully retractable glazing. A distinguished kitchen draws together integrated appliances, dark textural cabinetry and an island crowned by sculptural chandeliers.

Stone flooring flows into a dining area defined by banquette seating and a hardwood table. A generous media area completes the room, which is united by indulgent furnishings and conversation-starting artwork. Floor-to-ceiling glazing drinks in daylight and slides to expand the space.

Dappled sunlight plays across a dining terrace with seating for 14. Past a water feature, a vast outdoor living area is grounded by an ultra-modern fireplace. The estate sits 130 metres above sea level, providing sweeping views that stretch to Formentera.

Steps lead down to a lower outdoor level combining a sunbathing area and a conversation zone with a firepit. Bordered by palm trees, a heated infinity pool stretches towards the horizon. Landscaped gardens enjoy mature trees and manicured lawns. Beyond, the grounds cover more than 24,000 square metres.

A floating staircase threads its way from the reception room to the upper level. An air of indulgence has been created within the principal bedroom, which benefits from calming neutral tones, a stylish en suite and an outdoor bath and shower. Full-height glazing slides to allow access to the roof terrace, complete with a lawn and swing chairs. Four further bedrooms combine considered design details with box spring beds, air-conditioning and refined en suite bathrooms.
