Inside Villa El Deseo: 8-Bedroom Hillside Estate, Can Furnet

Villa El Deseo sits on the hillside of Can Furnet — the residential cluster north of Talamanca, twenty minutes inland from Marina Ibiza. The view from the pool deck is the postcard angle: Dalt Vila lit at night, Talamanca bay to the south, the lights of Marina Botafoc tracing the coast.

The night-pool effect

The pool is positioned so that, from the swim end, the floodlit Dalt Vila walls sit dead-centre in the composition. Many guests book the villa specifically for this view; sunset and the first hour after are when the property comes alive.

Layout

• 8 ensuite bedrooms (master with cliff-side terrace, 7 guest)
• Sleeps 16; daytime 35
• 22m infinity pool, salt water
• Outdoor dining for 16
• Wine room, gym, sauna

The staff

Full house team: house manager, chef on rotation, two housekeepers, gardener, pool engineer. Live-in house manager for any week of 5+ nights.

Right brief

Eight-to-twelve guests on a five-night-plus week, want the Dalt Vila view at the centre of the experience. Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, high-design family weeks. Wrong brief: large daytime events (the residential setting doesn't scale beyond 30 – 35 daytime guests).
