Villa Alessia holds a fabulous hillside location in St Agustin and only a short distance from the municipality of Sant Josep de se Talaia and of course the stunning beaches.
Tucked in between the municipalities of Eivissa (to the east) and Sant Antoni (to the west) lies the municipality of Sant Josep de se Talaia and comprises the parishes of Sant Jordi, Sant Agustí and es Cubells, all of them quiet picturesque Ibizan little villages with beautiful churches to wander around and admire, at leisure.
With nearly 80 Kms of coastline on offer, some of the most beautiful coves in this area (like Ses Salines or Cala Vedella), or visit the many quaint fishing villages set in their own remote coves (like Sa Caleta and es Xarco), are very much worth exploring. Modern life has encroached very little in these fishing villages, and life goes on as it has done for many years.
It is a magnificent landscape with Ses Salines Natural Park incorporating 1,786 hectares which are made up of salt flats, beaches, wetlands, dunes and forests. The Natural Park is home to hundreds of species of birds perfect for bird enthusiasts; and offers a multitude of scenic walking/hiking routes for those who like to explore by foot, including around Sa Talaia. Sant Josep mountain is the highest woodland-point standing at a height of 475 meters. It dominates the island and offers the best 360° views.
The rocky island out-posts of Vedrà & Vedranell, as well as the Islotes de Poniente (islets) are official Nature Reserves. Vedrà & Vedranell are full of classic myths and legends, including the one where it is believed that the entrance to the lost land of Atlantis, is located. Whether you are exploring the rocky islands with their abundance of migrating bird species, on foot; or scuba-diving off their coast to explore the marine life, make sure not to use up all your energy, as this region has much more still yet to offer.
This region has some very interesting archaeological sites like the Punic-Roman settlement of Ses Païses de Cala d’Hort; or the Phoenician village of Sa Caleta’s (founded in 7 B.C.) by the first settlers on the island has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage.
