Villa Xumeu | 6-Bedroom Villa in San Carlos Santa Eularia des Riu

San Carlos sits on Ibiza’s quieter northeast coast, a world away from the island’s pumping nightclubs and crowded resorts. A luxury villa rental in San Carlos offers something rarer: space, tradition, and the kind of privacy that lets groups of twelve actually relax together. Villa Xumeu delivers exactly this—six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and enough outdoor living to keep everyone happy whether they’re seeking action or stillness.

Inside Villa Xumeu

Villa Xumeu sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The layout splits across two floors, with four bedrooms occupying the ground level—each with its own en-suite shower room and direct access to the terraced gardens. These ground-floor rooms all feature double beds, though they can be separated into twins on request. This arrangement means families with children can keep younger guests close by, while parents still enjoy their own shower rooms and private entry routes to the gardens.

The first floor houses two additional bedrooms, both doubles with en-suite bathrooms and terrace access, allowing older teenagers or adult guests complete independence. Every bedroom benefits from climate control, essential during Ibiza’s summer heat.

The ground floor living spaces wrap around the heart of the property. A generous sitting room with comfortable seating opens directly onto the terrace—this is where people naturally gather without being forced into a single room. Adjacent to it sits a separate chill-out area with its own seating, perfect for guests who want to peel away from the main group without leaving the house. The kitchen commands serious respect: traditional dark wood detailing, commercial-grade appliances including a dishwasher and quality coffee maker, and a dining area anchored by a substantial wooden table surrounded by white high-back chairs. A working fireplace sits nearby, a genuine feature rather than decorative. The kitchen sits adjacent to a wood-fired barbecue area outside, so meal prep and outdoor cooking flow naturally into one another.

A washing machine and ironing facilities handle the practicalities of a two-week family stay, while Wi-Fi throughout the property keeps guests connected without forcing them online. The property includes a cot and highchair for families traveling with toddlers, plus an alarm system for security.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds at Villa Xumeu justify the price alone. The centerpiece is a private swimming pool measuring 10 by 5 meters—large enough for actual swimming rather than just cooling off. The pool sits within manicured garden space that stretches across the property, punctuated by numerous sun loungers positioned to catch different aspects of the sun throughout the day. Multiple terraces extend from the house at different levels: a large open terrace, a covered terrace for eating lunch in the shade, and individual terrace access from each bedroom. Garden furniture dotted throughout the grounds invites you to settle into different spots depending on time of day and who you want to spend it with.

An outdoor shower—rarely seen in villa rentals—lets guests rinse off after the pool without trailing chlorine through the house. The barbecue area functions as both cooking space and social hub, with enough room for the whole group to congregate while someone manages the grill. Private parking ensures vehicles remain out of sight, maintaining the garden’s sense of seclusion. From certain terraces, the landscape rolls toward the coast; the sound of the Mediterranean carries on still evenings.

Location: San Carlos and the Surrounding Area

San Carlos village centers on its whitewashed 18th-century church, a working landmark that hosts weddings and religious celebrations throughout the year. The church’s columned porch and original well remain as built centuries ago, making it a genuine point of local interest rather than just a photo stop. Within walking distance sit artisan bakeries and small shops selling local produce and crafts.

Cala Lena beach sits just 5km south—a pocket cove backed by pine trees with a wooden beach bar serving fresh fish and cold drinks. The sand here stays sheltered and calm compared to Ibiza’s northern beaches. This is the nearest swimming beach and suits families perfectly. Further south at 12km sits Punta Arabi, where Ibiza’s famous hippy market operates every Wednesday from 10am to 6pm. Over 500 stalls sell handmade jewelry, printed fabrics, vintage clothing, and local art at refreshingly reasonable prices. The market arrived in 1973 and remains the largest of its kind in Spain; several restaurants and bars operate within the market grounds themselves. The cultural history of Ibiza flows through Punta Arabi—this is where the island’s bohemian legacy remains tangible and unpretentious.

Ibiza Town, the capital, lies 20km south. Beyond its clubbing reputation, the walled old town (Dalt Vila) contains narrow streets, galleries, restaurants, and genuine history worth an afternoon visit. The Cathedral and Castle of Ibiza overlook the harbor. Santa Eularia des Riu, 15km south, offers a more relaxed harbor town atmosphere with excellent seafood restaurants along the waterfront.

The northeast coast around San Lorenzo specializes in quiet beaches rather than party venues. Golf courses exist within 20km for keen golfers. Boat hire operates from San Carlos harbor itself—day trips to smaller islands like Isla Blanca or Es Vedrà can be arranged directly. For broader destination insight and what to prioritize during your stay, read our Ibiza travel guide. We also maintain listings across luxury villas in San Carlos and surrounding coastal areas.

The best months to visit run April through November. July and August bring intense heat (often 32°C+) and peak tourist crowds; May, June, September and October offer perfect weather—warm enough for sea swimming, cool enough for comfortable daytime activity. Winter is mild but occasional rain; the hippy market and most restaurants operate year-round.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family groups benefit most from Villa Xumeu’s layout and capacity. Grandparents occupy first-floor bedrooms with en-suites; adult children with partners and small children spread across ground-floor rooms with direct terrace access. The separate living and chill-out areas mean someone can nap while others swim without disturbing the whole household.

Groups of friends seeking quiet retreat rather than nightlife—say, ten people celebrating a milestone birthday or anniversary—find the space forces no artificial bonding while still allowing social time. The kitchen and barbecue area make meal-prep collaborative and enjoyable rather than a chore rotating among guests.

Couples in their 40s or 50s seeking privacy with the option of inviting friends also fit perfectly; you can occupy two bedrooms, rent the remainder to friends, and share the common spaces without feeling obligated to socialize constantly. The property’s northeast location means you escape Ibiza’s party reputation while remaining on the island itself.
