True privacy can feel hard to come by in today's world, and true peace, even harder. It seems as though we are constantly rushing around, constantly observed, eternally going to or from a destination with barely a moment to enjoy it once we arrive. Sabina Ibiza offers residents a chance to step outside of this cycle, breathe in the salt-laced air of the island and consider what really matters.
An extraordinary ecologically designed estate – the first of its kind in the Balearics – Sabina Ibiza brings to life the collective vision of 17 world-renowned architects and designers, including Sir David Chipperfield, John Pawson and Rolf Blakstad. The idea was to create a space that would feel like a true sanctuary, a pocket of Ibiza that would uphold the values of creativity, independence and harmony with nature that have drawn so many to the island over the decades. And as residents can attest, it more than met expectations. Sabina Ibiza is a place unlike any other – a world inside a world on the stunningly picturesque south-west, sunset coast of the island, surrounded by forests, mountains and endless blue waves.
Just 50 villas make up the estate, each one individually designed to create an eclectic mix of styles intended to suit any resident. Private gardens provide ample space for lounging and soaking up the sun, as well as incredible views of the sea and mountains. The estate is spread over 17 hectares, and peace and privacy are paramount. But despite the sense of seclusion and serenity, Sabina Ibiza's five-star service is never too far away. A clever concierge team is eternally poised to make any wish a reality, whether it's a fleeting whim or a deeply held dream. It might be taking care of the little tasks that make daily life so much nicer: perhaps making sure your personal wine cellar is stocked with your favourite vintage, or your bathroom with your preferred skincare brand. It might also assist with the event of a lifetime, such as helping to organise your daughter's wedding in the Clubhouse or planning a surprise party for a landmark birthday. No request is too mundane or too ambitious for them to pull off.
But residency at Sabina Ibiza offers more than a private villa with world-class service: it's an opportunity to become part of a community, and fittingly, the shared areas are designed to foster a sense of belonging. The main space, the Clubhouse, is an architectural wonder, a sprawling complex drawing inspiration from historic Ibizan structures. Blakstad had the palaces of a Phoenician princess in mind when designing the columns and courtyards, while Lázaro Rosa-Violán used indigenous materials to emphasise the connection between structure and environment – an idea further enhanced by the gnarled, ancient olive trees planted by garden designers Estudio Laterna. The result is a space of refined grandeur that already feels as though it has stood for thousands of years, hosting countless gatherings of friends and family. At its heart is the Clubhouse, where the beauty of seasonal and local produce shines in elevated Mediterranean dishes, which are accompanied by fine wine, live music and lively conversation. As the sun dips below the waves, guests take to the bar and private nightclub, designed by Rosa-Violán, where evening cocktails turn into nights of revelry that will be remembered for years to come.
Wellbeing is also an important element of life at Sabina Ibiza. The extraordinary access to nature is in itself an opportunity for guests to ground themselves in something deeper and more meaningful than the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and the beautiful non-denominational Temple offers a space for reflection and solitude. In the subterranean spa, spiritual wellbeing and physical health go hand in hand; there are indulgent hammam sessions, massages delivered by the most skilled practitioners and holistic treatments that will leave you feeling rejuvenated both inside and out.
The experiences we have as children have the power to shape the rest of our lives, and little ones are far from an afterthought here. There is ample opportunity for them to join in with the adults – perhaps playing a game of tennis or padel on the estate's courts, practising their first strokes in the vast saltwater pool or building a sandcastle fortress on a serene stretch of Cala Tarida – while the vibrant kids' club allows parents to take time for themselves. And perhaps the most valuable gifts of all are the sense of freedom, the connection with nature and the friendships they'll form with their peers: all experiences that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
Seasonal rentals of a month or more allow visitors to try out the Sabina Ibiza lifestyle for themselves – and once you've experienced it, it’s very difficult to leave. It's not simply a beautiful villa in a beautiful location: it's a chance to step outside of time itself, to find a new rhythm and to live in a way entirely of your own choosing.
