Casa Daneille

Take a short stroll from the villa and you’ll arrive into the heart of San Carlos. It’s a small but popular village, having been a hippy haven since the 60s and 70s. There’s a lovely, laid-back atmosphere wherever you go, with a sense of time stood still in many areas. Some remote houses don’t even receive post and have to collect it from letter boxes that are built into a wall at a local bar. Amenities to be found in the village include restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and a small range of shops. There’s also a typical Ibizan whitewashed church to visit, as well as a colourful weekly hippy market that’s held every Saturday.

Cala Llenya is just over a 5-minute drive away from the villa and is a great place to enjoy a day out by the sea with the family. With white sands and clear, shallow waters, it’s ideal for relaxing on the beach and swimming or snorkelling. There are picnic areas under the pine trees that dot the valley behind the beach, as well as restaurants if you prefer to sample some local food. Cala Llenya never gets too crowded, so it’s an ideal alternative to some of the busier beaches during peak season.

Around 20 minutes north of the villa is Ibiza Horse Valley, close to the village of San Juan. Meet your instructors in the village and then head into the valley to be introduced to their group of rescue horses. Groups of up to eight people can enjoy this unforgettable experience for around four hours, which includes grooming your own horse and going out on a 2-hour ride around the mountains.
