Luxury Villa Rentals in Sant Josep de sa Talaia
Villas in Ibiza's south-west, among pine hills, quiet coves and the rock of Es Vedrà
As featured in
Ibiza's largest municipality, and its most varied
Sant Josep de sa Talaia covers most of the south-western part of Ibiza, and it has more coastline than any other part of the island: more than 80 kilometres of coves, cliffs and beaches. It takes its name from Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at 475 metres, which rises behind the whitewashed village of Sant Josep. Offshore lies Es Vedrà, the great limestone rock that has a habit of turning up in everyone's photographs at sunset.
Our collection here runs to 180+ villas, from restored fincas among almond terraces and pine woods to contemporary houses on the hills above Cala Vedella and Es Cubells, with sea views towards Formentera or the open west. The largest have 10 bedrooms.
Here is how the municipality divides up, and where you might want to be.

The west coast around Cala Vedella, Cala Tarida and Cala d'Hort for coves and Es Vedrà sunsets, Es Cubells and Cala Jondal for clifftop calm and long lunches, and the inland villages of Sant Josep and Sant Agustí for pine hills and walking.
Coves, cliffs and a rock on the horizon
The western shore is where most visitors fall for this corner of Ibiza. Cala Vedella sits at the end of a long, sheltered inlet with calm, shallow water that suits children, and Cala Tarida, to the north, has a wider sweep of sand and a handful of easy beach restaurants.
Further north still, Cala Conta (Cala Comte) has water of an improbable turquoise and is the place to watch the sun go down. To the south, Cala d'Hort faces Es Vedrà directly, and the cliff path up to the old Torre des Savinar watchtower gives the best view of the rock. The remains of a Punic and Roman farmstead lie just above the beach.

Clifftop quiet and the salt flats
Es Cubells is a tiny village with a white church on a cliff, and the houses around it look out over a long stretch of open sea. It is one of the quieter addresses on the island, yet Cala Jondal and its beach clubs, with their long, sociable lunches, are a short drive away.
East of here lies the Ses Salines natural park, where salt is still harvested from the pans and flamingos often wade in the shallows. The beaches of Ses Salines and Es Cavallet are long and sandy, and the neighbouring village of Sant Jordi holds a well-known Saturday flea market.

Pine woods, terraces and the island's summit
Inland, the municipality is a landscape of pine forest, dry-stone terraces, carob and almond trees, and scattered white farmhouses. This is where many of the restored fincas are, set back from the coast but rarely more than fifteen minutes from a beach.
Sant Josep village is a pleasant place for a morning coffee in the square beneath its whitewashed church, and the path up Sa Talaia starts close by. On a clear day the summit looks across the whole island and over the water to Formentera. The hilltop hamlet of Sant Agustí, nearby, has a fine restaurant or two and very little else, which is rather the point.

Bullit de peix, flaó and a long, warm autumn
The local table is built on fish and the farm: bullit de peix, a fish stew followed by rice cooked in its broth, sofrit pagès, a rich country dish of meats and potatoes, and flaó, a cheese and mint tart. Finish with a glass of hierbas, the island's herb liqueur.
July and August are hot and busy. June and September are warm with calmer beaches, and May and October suit walking. Our concierge can book boats to Formentera, beach club tables, a private chef and transfers from the airport.
