Moon Kite

VILLA • SANT JOSEP DE SA TALAIA, IBIZA, SPAIN

4 Bedrooms • 4 Bathrooms • Sleeps 8

Private PoolBeach AccessSea ViewGymTerrace

Moon Kite is a four-bedroom villa in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, on Ibiza's southern coast, with a private path leading directly to the sand and pebble beach at Cala Jondal. The villa sits within the jagged cliffs above the cove, and its position gives it something most comparable properties cannot offer: genuine seclusion combined with immediate beach access, without a road crossing in between. Guests staying here are not adjacent to the sea; they are perched above it, with terraced outdoor spaces looking out over an uninterrupted expanse of Mediterranean blue. The design aesthetic is deliberately restrained, mixing brass lanterns, globe-like pendant lights and wind chimes with minimally decorated interiors that let the natural setting do the work. A private infinity pool anchors the garden, which is large enough to contain quiet corners for reading as well as sociable areas for the group. The villa sleeps eight across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, making it well suited to two couples travelling together or a family who want space without excess. A home gym is on-site for those who want it. Plum Guide lists Moon Kite as part of a curated selection that has passed their editorial vetting process, which rejects the majority of properties reviewed. For a summer stay on Ibiza's southern coast with direct beach access and a considered sense of place, this is one of the more specific and hard-to-replicate options on the island.

Best time to visit

summer

24-33°Cjun · jul · aug

peak crowdpremium value

Summer is the only season for which Moon Kite is genuinely designed: the infinity pool, the private beach path and the cliff-top sea views all depend on warm Mediterranean conditions, and the Es Cubells coastline reaches its full character between June and September.

peak crowdpremium value

Ibiza's southern coast is at its best from late May through September, when temperatures are reliably warm and the sea is swimmable. July and August bring peak demand and premium pricing. June and September offer excellent conditions with marginally lower crowds. The Es Cubells area and Cala Jondal are quieter than the north even in peak season, but the villa is a summer-focused property with limited appeal outside the warm months.

winter

dec · jan · feb

Mild by European standards but cool and often wet, with average daytime temperatures rarely exceeding 14°C. The southern coast can be blustery. Most beach clubs and seasonal restaurants are closed.

8-14°C

low crowdexcellent value

The villa is a summer-focused property and has limited appeal in winter. Verify that the property is available and that local amenities relevant to your stay are operational before booking for this period.

spring

mar · apr · may

Warming steadily through May, with April and early May still variable. Late May can be reliably warm and sunny, with sea temperatures beginning to rise. The island is quiet until the end of May.

12-22°C

low crowdgood value

Late May is the earliest point at which Moon Kite's beach access and pool genuinely come into their own. Early spring bookings are lower risk on cost but the property's core offer is weather-dependent.

summer

Recommended

jun · jul · aug

Hot, dry and consistently sunny, with sea temperatures ideal for swimming throughout. July and August are the hottest months, with daytime temperatures regularly above 30°C. Nights are warm.

24-33°C

peak crowdpremium value

July and August require booking several months in advance for a property of this calibre. June and September offer equivalent conditions with slightly more availability and marginally lower rates. Do not leave summer bookings late.

autumn

sep · oct · nov

September retains full summer warmth and the sea remains swimmable well into October. From mid-October the weather becomes more unpredictable, with cooler temperatures and occasional rain by November.

16-28°C

moderate crowdgood value

September is one of the most underrated months for Ibiza: the sea is warm, the crowds thin noticeably after the first week, and rates drop from August peaks. October is viable for those focused on land-based exploration rather than beach swimming.

Why we chose it

The detail that separates Moon Kite from the typical luxury villa-with-pool formula is the private path down to Cala Jondal. Beach access on Ibiza's southern cliffs is rarely this direct or this private, and the combination of cliff-face position with an unmediated route to sand and pebble is something most properties at this price point simply cannot match. Staying here feels quieter and more intimate than the size and price would suggest, largely because the Es Cubells area has resisted the density of the island's more commercialised coastline. Unlike villas that use sea views as a headline feature but require a car to reach the water, Moon Kite makes the beach genuinely part of the daily routine.

01The Architecture

Moon Kite follows the whitewashed Ibizan vernacular tradition, with a low-profile exterior that sits sympathetically within the cliff landscape above Cala Jondal rather than imposing on it. The building has been designed to maximise indoor-outdoor continuity, with multiple terraced levels stepping down through the garden and towards the coastal path. The structure's orientation prioritises the sea view from nearly every…

02The Interior

The interior palette is minimal without being sparse. Brass lanterns and globe-shaped pendant lights recur throughout, providing warmth against otherwise restrained surfaces. Wind chimes and considered decorative objects give the rooms a lived-in, slightly bohemian quality that avoids the sterility common to high-turnover luxury rentals. The overall mood is calm and slightly ethereal, with natural light filtered through trees at…

03The Outdoor

The outdoor spaces at Moon Kite are tiered across multiple terraced levels, each suited to a different pace: quieter corners in the garden for solitude, wider terrace areas for group dining and drinks, and the infinity pool as the central gathering point. The pool looks directly out over the sea, and the drop in the landscape means there is little…

04The Location

Moon Kite sits in the Es Cubells area on Ibiza's southern coast, within the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Es Cubells is one of the quieter corners of the island: a small village of whitewashed houses clustered around a church on the clifftops, with no resort infrastructure and no through-traffic of note. The rugged southern coastline here is…

05Ideal For

Moon Kite works best for two couples sharing or a family with older children who want direct beach access and genuine seclusion on Ibiza's less-trafficked southern coast. The cliff-top position and steep beach steps make it less suited to families with very young children or guests with mobility considerations. Those looking for a quieter, more residential experience of Ibiza rather…

TheChosenStay's Guide

dining

Es Torrent

One of Ibiza's most celebrated seafood restaurants, set directly on the rocks above a small cove a few minutes' drive from Cala Jondal. Arrive early or book ahead in summer as it fills quickly and does not take large reservations easily.

10 minutes by car

experience

Cala d'Hort and Es Vedrà

The clearest views of Es Vedrà, the dramatic 382-metre rock rising from the sea off the southwest coast, are from Cala d'Hort beach, a short drive along the southern coastline from Moon Kite. Sunset here is a reliable occasion.

Sa Caleta beach restaurants

Sa Caleta, a small Phoenician settlement site and protected cove on the southern coast, has a cluster of simple seafood restaurants built onto the red-ochre cliffs. The food is unfussy and the setting is unlike anywhere else on the island.

Frequently Asked

Click the booking link to be taken directly to our booking partner, where you can check availability and complete your reservation.

Moon Kite is located in the Es Cubells area on Ibiza's southern coast, within the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Es Cubells is one of the quietest parts of the island, characterised by clifftop whitewashed houses, dramatic sea views and direct access to the coves below, including Cala Jondal.

Yes. The villa has a private path leading directly to the sand and pebble beach at Cala Jondal below. The steps are steep, so guests with limited mobility should take this into account before booking.

Moon Kite sleeps up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

The nearest commercial airport is Ibiza Airport (IBZ), approximately 20 minutes by car from the Es Cubells area. For private aviation, Ibiza Airport is also the island's primary FBO facility, with dedicated handling services available through operators on site.

The listing recommends bringing a car if you plan to explore the island. The Es Cubells area is quiet and rural, with no walkable village amenities; a car is effectively essential for reaching restaurants, beaches beyond Cala Jondal and Ibiza Town.

Moon Kite is a summer property at its best from late May through September, when sea temperatures are swimmable and the climate is reliably warm. June and September offer very good conditions with slightly fewer visitors than July and August. The villa has limited appeal outside the warm season.

No. The property does not permit pets.

The immediate area is centred on the sea: swimming at Cala Jondal below the villa, boat hire and water taxis from the beach, and short drives to other southern coves including Cala d'Hort, which has direct views of Es Vedrà. Ibiza Town's old quarter (Dalt Vila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is around 25 minutes by car, and the wider island offers cycling routes, paddleboarding and sailing.

The villa suits families with older children and teenagers well, but the steep steps down to Cala Jondal beach are a practical consideration for families with very young children or toddlers. The pool area and garden are spacious, and the secluded clifftop setting means no road traffic near the property itself.
