Summary
The recent weeks have brought longer daylight hours as the sun lingers for extended periods. This clearly indicates that summer is approaching.
Although spring is still upon us, it does not deter our preparations for an anticipated summer retreat.
As part of our evolving tradition (having engaged in this for several years), we organize a group getaway with friends to a destination far from London, ideally sunny and warm.
This year, we are contemplating a return to Ibiza. While there are numerous alternatives, Ibiza currently stands out prominently on our list of potential destinations.
Accommodation is a significant factor in holiday planning, and given that we are a sizable group, reminiscent of our previous experience in Lisbon, we are leaning towards renting a villa.
Initially, we explored options on Airbnb and Roomorama before discovering a platform called Bonder & Co. They offer an impressive array of villas available for rental in Ibiza.
These villas are considerably luxurious, partnering with premium brands such as American Express and Moet & Chandon, indicating their high standards. However, as mentioned in our previous discussion on essential group holiday planning tips, the cost is notably more manageable when shared among a group, making them quite feasible!
I have curated a selection of my top 5 villas from an extensive collection of approximately 350 options.
Please take a moment to assess them and share your preferences, particularly regarding which villa you would opt for and the rationale behind your choice!
Due to space constraints, I cannot feature all the images here; thus, if you desire to view additional photos, there are numerous visuals available on their website. I have included the names for clarity in our discussion. 😉
We shall commence with Villa Aguamarine. I can envision myself never wanting to depart from this exquisite property during our holiday; it so perfectly represents the idea of a dream home. Can you imagine how phenomenal it would be if this were indeed your residence?
Next, let us examine Villa Buena. This location epitomizes a rustic paradise! Just admire that stunning roof and the beautiful bathtub! I can easily picture myself enjoying my time here. I acknowledge that my enthusiasm for this villa may seem excessive (in a very positive sense), but my affection for rustic homes is well-known.
Subsequently, we consider Villa Gandia. It is easy to see why this villa captured my interest—just feast your eyes on that pool! It is undoubtedly a compelling choice for me!
Next on our list is Villa Riqueta. This property has the allure of a celebrity mansion commonly showcased in high-gloss magazines or television features. The exquisite pool and breathtaking views seem tailored to alleviate the stresses associated with urban life in London.
Lastly, we have Villa Sand. Its description for me would be pure opulence. I appreciate every aspect of this property; indeed, I believe the proprietor would face challenges in persuading me to vacate this locale, as it is simply splendid! Perhaps it is time for a relocation to Ibiza? (If a property of this caliber was available for my residency, I would not hesitate—would you?)
These options are genuinely remarkable, wouldn’t you agree?
An inherent drawback of staying in such splendid villas while traveling is the temptation to never leave them. Nevertheless, with these particular villas, who could fault you?
Considering it’s Ibiza, aside from nighttime excursions (and a requisite exploration of the old town), you would not face any criticism for choosing to remain within the confines of such luxurious accommodations and relish the indulgence it offers.
