The white exterior facades, low rooflines, and masonry walls anchor the structure within its setting. Spread across approximately 2,246 square meters (24,000 square feet), the retreat includes a central house, a three-bedroom annex, two villas, and an assortment of shared spaces: a club, bar, restaurant, library, boutique, and wellness center.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the interiors respond to Ibiza\u2019s natural palette. \u2018We selected the colors, materials and textures carefully,\u2019<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophiebaker.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> designer<\/a> Sophie Baker continues.<\/strong> \u2018We kept a serene, rustic farmhouse aesthetic \u2014 lots of wood and organic textures in the furniture, curated antiques, and delicate lighting.\u2019 Elements such as 1970s glassware, plaster lamps from local artisans, and patterned silk rugs echo the island\u2019s history without veering into pastiche. A combination of rattan headboards, four-poster linen beds, and leather-upholstered furnishings reinforces a tactile, textural sensibility throughout.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1147542 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"soho farmhouse ibiza\" width=\"818\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/soho-farmhouse-ibiza-sophie-baker-designboom-02.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the art collection focuses on artists living in or connected to the Balearic Islands<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>spaces for rest and ritual<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bedrooms reflect a restrained design language with gestures toward local craftsmanship and seasonal living. \u2018For the colour palette of the bedrooms, we reflected the natural surroundings with hints of orange and green \u2013 they make the space feel inviting and respect the original warm wood tones of the architecture,\u2019 <strong>Baker explains.<\/strong> Rooms are equipped with details that anticipate the island\u2019s climate \u2014 freezers for drinks and ice cream, breathable linen fabrics, and natural ventilation through operable shutters.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the bathrooms, the material choices continue the tactile theme. \u2018They feel very luxurious,\u2019 <strong>she notes.<\/strong> \u2018We added smoked terracotta floors and hand-applied neutral plaster walls.
