Mr & Mrs Smith

La Divina nestles on the hillside, high above the pine trees, looking across the bay and out to sea. Ibiza Town is only 10 minutes away in one direction and Santa Eulalia 10 in the other – but, from this treetop idyll, you feel as though you’re a million miles from anywhere.

Only five years old, the villa is a po-mo dream of glamorous right angles and crisp, Noughties cubist edges; and it skilfully blends contemporary style with a cosy charm. The most jawdroppingly special, three-bedroom property Smith could find in Ibiza, the villa is big and sumptuous, but not overly done, and its décor comes with a slight Balinese accent. Beds are draped with white muslin, while huge wooden furniture pieces break up areas large enough to cartwheel around in. The sense of space is impressive, especially when you consider that La Divina is a two-bedroom villa. Sink into the huge living-room daybeds and it will seem as though you’re looking at your fellow guests through the wrong end of a telescope. Even the 20ft pull-down TV screen looks modest under this double-height ceiling.

Slide open the glass doors, and enjoy calm, uninterrupted views out to the island of Formentera; you’re so high up here that the still, peaceful air seems to belong exclusively to you. Fall back into the soft terrace mattresses under the sail awning and breathe in somniferous views of the boats coming in – you won’t be moving for a while.

In the living room, modern art hangs on crisp, white walls, and sand-coloured stone spreads luxuriously across the floors like caramel. Windows on either side of the open fireplace sparkle and glitter – and frame wonderful views of the pool and sea. The sofas are so deep that, when you sit back, you suddenly regress to being a child, your feet dangling miles from the floor. Across the room, the dining table for 10 enjoys sea views – and is, thankfully, just a stagger to the double outdoor mattresses that are just perfect for a post-prandial snooze.

The villa sleeps a maximum of six in three ensuite bedrooms, and each room is simple and sumptuous, with views across the pine treetops. One room has an enormous bed with suspended curtains that pull across from one end of the room to the other, creating a private, inviting space – a bed grotto, if you like – with a huge, rough wooden mirror propped on the floor inside it. The double bedroom opposite echoes this sentiment, but with red velvet curtains and Balinese wooden vases adorning the room.

Totally tranquil and as divine as its name suggests, this sleek villa is the ideal escape for peace-seeking couples.
