Ibiza, upon
arrival.

How to make the most of your beautiful villa. Insider tips for enjoying the time of your life.

We check in with the island’s local experts and the places that make a good stay feel unforgettable—starting with what happens after you find your villa.

In residence  ·  The island, at your own pace

The villa is the plan.

After check-in, the island becomes yours. The best villa stays are made in the in-between hours: a table that draws everyone together, a pool day that stretches towards sunset, plans that never need to leave the property. Two Ibiza names to have on your list.

Let dinner come to you.

Some evenings are better spent exactly where they began. Chef Paolo brings private dining to Ibiza villas, with thoughtful menus shaped around the occasion and a table made for sharing. No taxi, no reservation, no one leaving the conversation to watch the clock.

From a leisurely lunch in the shade to dinner that finds its own pace, let the food set the mood—and keep the best part of the day at home.

Keep the afternoon going.

At some point, the poolside conversation turns to drinks. House of Chill brings a frozen cocktail machine and drinks to Ibiza villas, with delivery, set-up and collection handled for you. Choose flavours for your group; add wine, spirits, mixers, ice or snacks to keep the bar in step with the day.

An easy answer when the last thing anyone wants is a run to the shops. Pour, settle back in and see where the evening goes.

A table that feels like a discovery.

Follow the road inland from Cala Llonga and you arrive at Casa Piedra: a garden patio looking out to the hills, delicious sushi and Nando’s warm, generous welcome. Come for dinner; let the evening stretch.
