Casa Atlantis Ibiza

LUXURY ON THE ROCKS

Set high on a cliff ledge in the charming Es Cubells village, Casa Atlantis overlooks the brilliant blue Mediterranean Sea, with its soul-restoring views and private access to the beach. At sea level, guests can relax and survey the view from a peaceful deck. Or for livelier members, entertainment options are plentiful, with a video arcade, ping-pong table, and even Spyder bikes on hand for your enjoyment. 

Your first day at Casa Atlantis begins in the manner that every great holiday should – by topping up the relaxation levels with a trip to the secluded massage area. You float on its canopy-covered bed, the smell of jasmine oils soaking into your skin. This is your moment to reflect on the villa and what treats lay in store for you.

So far, so good. You arrived late last night and undertook a quick tour of your estate before unpacking and calling it a night. You were impressed by the modern interiors, complete with sleek wood panelling, cream walls and floral touches, and the cinema room where you're excited to cosy up with the group.

Your master bedroom, in particular, grabbed your attention. A sprawling space which channels the outdoors, with giant stone vases housing leafy plants, gold lighting and smooth wooden furnishings - the perfect place to begin and end your days in paradise. Even your ensuite bathroom feels like a private cabin on a yacht, with its huge, marble-lined bathtub facing picture windows that look out to the sea.

There's something for the young and older to appreciate here, so no need to worry about enjoyment levels. Some of the group are currently working out in the gym, and the children have discovered the games area with its retro arcades and table tennis, so that should keep them occupied for a while. In fact, they'll probably have the best time out of anyone here with the added bonus of sleepovers in the bunkbed room every night - what childhood memories are made of.

You're almost jealous of them, except that the infinity pool which hangs on the edge of a cliff is literally your idea of heaven. The kids can be kept busy whilst you spend days floating on an inflatable flamingo or curled up on the bank of sun loungers, with cocktails on demand and fabulous views.

You're also looking forward to the short stroll down to the sea via your own private walkway, where you'll swim in its warm turquoise shallows and admire how your whitewashed villa blends so perfectly into its craggy cliff surrounding, with terraces carved from natural stone.

By night, you'll enjoy champagne dining at the alfresco table and candle-lit dancing on the terrace, feeling spirits peak as the sky goes up in flames and the sun bids farewell to another perfect day.
