With a huge array of accommodation options on Ibiza, it's hard to know where to stay. Renting a private villa holiday could be just what you want to really get away from it all and discover a different side to the island. Read on to see why a holiday home could be your own home from home.
You set the agenda and your own timetable. Missed breakfast? No problem just make your own morning meal when you feel like getting up or get yourself a cold beer or glass of wine whenever you want. Isn't it great when you have no rules?
Spend quality time with loved ones: the place is yours for the week with only your family or close friends as distractions, so ditch the smartphone in favour of a good conversation with a cocktail as you lazily toss dinner onto the barbecue.

Villa holidays are surprisingly affordable, starting with a daily price of just €50 per person in high season: having your own pad is within reach of most of us. Think of the money you can save for items like club tickets, top restaurants or cool experiences.
If you have a late night, there's no walk of shame. Ibiza is the hottest spot to go clubbing on the planet, we think. If you go out, you can slip back into your villa at dawn and know you don't have to avoid anyone, just straight to bed - if that's what you want that is.

You can live like a celebrity in a super-stylish luxury villa either in traditional style or decked out in Hollywood luxury; you will need a big budget for the ultra high-end ones - could it be your holiday of a lifetime? Of course splendid seclusion is available in most villas so you don't actually have to splash out on a villa with a helipad.
Eating can be fun, you could even avoid going out to buy it and use a food and drinks delivery service instead. Or, you could get in local fresh ingredients from the market or delicatessen and challenge your culinary skills. Not being tied to hotel meal times or an all-inclusive package can be surprisingly liberating.
Get them to come to you. Why not have a yoga instructor or masseuse come to your villa at a time that's convenient for you? If you want to look fabulous for your night out, you could even have someone come and do your make-up and hair to give you a sleek party look. The possibilities are endless.
The pool is all your own: no need to get up at dawn to reserve your poolside sun loungers. Also, you can splash about in your swimming pool without the worry of getting angry looks from other tourists.

Discover a more authentic Ibiza. There is life beyond and it's worth exploring. Eat at the restaurants around you, stop at the roadside shops and cafes, drive around and see where you land or lose yourself in nearby towns and villages.
Make your friends envious and post pictures of your gorgeous Ibiza villa on Instagram and Facebook - we are sure you were going to anyway. Great pictures will give you lots to reminisce about afterwards too.

Have dinner made for you: that birthday dinner or anniversary can be extra special when you get in the services of a private chef who can literally cater for all kinds of tastes and diets. From vegan sushi to a meat feast, you can have a dinner fit for a king.
Freedom to do what you want: you can easily escape in a private villa away from the public. Walk around in the nude, let your kids play and be loud and make noise or just curl up with a book knowing you won't be disturbed.
You could be close to some awesome nature: most villas in Ibiza are in the countryside, so think walks through pine forests or by stone terraced fields. Make your way around rugged coastline, admiring the glittering turquoise water or finding a mystical pirate tower.
