Restored 1980s Ibiza Villa Views Over Old Town and Sea

Tucked into the hillside above Ibiza Town, Villa Can Manya—on the market for €7,400,000 with Home Hunts— is a rare architectural holdout from the early 1980s—now meticulously restored for its next chapter.

Designed by Enrique Álvarez-Sala, Carlos Rubio, and Ignacio Vicens y Hualde—three names that helped define Spanish modernism—the home sits quietly within the sought-after Can Pep Simó enclave, overlooking pine forests, the old town skyline, and the sea stretching toward Formentera.

Originally built between 1981 and 1983, the single-storey villa was conceived around two intersecting axes, with light and geometry guiding every design choice. The renovation honours that legacy. The original structure—defined by whitewashed surfaces, splashes of saturated colour, and column-like elements framing the central patio—remains intact. Triple-height ceilings float above the living space, connected by upper and lower galleries, while a new marble-finished saltwater pool spills onto a clean, linear terrace.

Inside, a high-spec kitchen anchors the open plan. Five en-suite bedrooms offer scale and privacy, finished in natural tones and materials that echo the island’s palette. Smart tech and sustainability upgrades include solar panels, underfloor heating, and Sonos integration, all discreetly embedded.

This is a property for design purists—those who recognise the enduring appeal of early post-Franco Spanish architecture and the low-key luxury of Can Pep Simó. Villa Can Manya is more than a holiday home; it's a piece of architectural history adapted for modern Mediterranean living.
