The bedrooms continue in this style, traditional, warm and comfortable with rich woods and terracotta floors. Two of the bedrooms boast double beds and ensuite bathrooms with baths. The remaining two both offer twin beds, and they share a bathroom. The bathrooms are all fully tiled and well-maintained.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa XulVilla Xul enjoys a lovely countryside setting with fantastic mountain views. It is situated in the lovely village of San Rafael, in the middle of the island. This quiet village gives you a sense of calm though it is also close to two of the island’s super-clubs Privilege and Amnesia. You can try your hand at pottery at one of the workshops. Some of the unique pieces use methods and styles dating back to the Carthaginian occupation.
The beauty of this central location is that it is easy to visit the whole island. The Cala Conta coastline in the south-west is famous for its spectacular sunset views and its blissful beaches with stunning views of the islets of Es Bosc, Sa Conillera, Ses Bledes and S’Espartar. Further north the beaches of Cala Bassa and Port d’es Torrent are also gorgeous. Port d’es Torrent is one of Ibiza’s hidden gems.
San Antonio is lively and colourful, a popular tourist resort with sunset cafes, glitzy bars and legendary nightclubs. There are many boat excursions from the resort, boat parties and watersports from the beach. There are several super-clubs, Es Paradis and Eden, for the party revellers and a famous pool party venue, Ibiza Rocks Hotel. The inflatable water playground is very popular with children.
San Agustin is one of the prettiest villages on Ibiza, almost untouched by modern tourism. The pretty whitewashed church and tiny neighbourhood bar are delightful. From the church square, you can enjoy fabulous views of the San Jose hills and lush open countryside. It is a totally different world from San Antonio and Ibiza Town!
In the south-west, you will enjoy visiting the fabulous Parc Natural de Ses Salines, where the salt production carried out for hundreds of years has formed a unique, breathtaking landscape. Hundreds of hot-pink flamingoes visit the wetlands between August and October to spend the winter on the island.
The east coast resorts of Cala Llonga and Santa Eulalia, Ibiza’s third largest resort, are wonderful and definitely worth a visit.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesSome of the most popular beaches for families are Cala Bassa, Es Cana, Cala Vadella, Cala Llonga, the Portinatx Beaches and Cala Tarida. All of the coasts have some special beaches.
Close to the villa is San Antonio’s Aquarium Cap Blanc. Its unique sea cave setting is wonderful. Local fishermen used to set their lobster traps in the cave, and now five openings in the rocks allow seawater to flow freely in and out of the cave, making it is the perfect temperature for the sealife living inside. You will see octopus, grouper, rays, morays and conger. You cannot visit the aquarium with buggies or wheelchairs. It is best to take a baby sling if you have one.
If you like caves, then you should visit the multi-level, yellow-gold world of the Can Marca caves in Puerto de San Miguel. The eerie underground caverns are spookily silent and illuminated by colourful lights. The highlight of the tour is a spectacular music and light show with a 10m cascade of water.
Children also enjoy visiting the island’s famous Hippy Markets. Local artisans sell handmade and second-hand items at the vibrant, busy markets. There are also food stalls, live music, entertainment and lots of opportunities to learn about the authentic Ibiza culture. Punta Arabi is the oldest and biggest Hippy Market on the island with over 500 artisans, designers and craftsmen selling goods from all over the world. Young children can make flower crowns, create their own t-shirts and get their face painted. They love it!
