Perched on the cliffs of Es Cubells in the south of Ibiza, where craggy red rocks tumble into the endless blue of the Mediterranean, Villa Infinity strikes a delicate balance between tradition and reinvention, as much as between openness and seclusion. Originally a timeworn finca, the property has been carefully reimagined by Athens-based K-Studio into a soulful contemporary retreat, steeped in the island’s heritage yet attuned to the cosmopolitan sensibilities of its well-travelled owners.
Rather than opting for an architectural overhaul, K-Studio approached the project with the sensitivity of a storyteller, weaving together the villa’s layered past with a new, pared-back elegance in line with the practice’s ethos of soulful minimalism rooted in local context. The ambition was twofold: to honour the property's spirit and privileged setting while shaping a house that could accommodate both the intimacy of family life and the fluid conviviality of frequent guests.

The villa’s reconfiguration prioritizes flow and spatial clarity. Once fragmented communal areas have been choreographed into a series of interconnected spaces that seamlessly open up to the landscape. In contrast, the property’s private quarters have been thoughtfully secluded, allowing for moments of retreat and introspection. Each bedroom has been given its own distinct character, from the children's room, with its flexible bunk-bed configuration, to the master suite, which boasts a private terrace and a lush rooftop garden designed for stargazing.
A series of shaded terraces, sun-soaked patios, and dry-stone enclosures invite effortless outdoor living, while the villa’s infinity pool dissolves the boundary between architecture and nature, merging sky and sea into an endless canvas.

Architecturally, the residence is a masterclass in contemporary vernacular. Externally, dry-stone clad boxy volumes softened by whitewashed, rounded surfaces and timber-and-wicker pergolas, harmoniously blend the building into its rocky surroundings.
A generous entrance patio, centred on a sculpturally pruned olive tree rising from a serene water feature and flanked by a pergola-supporting boulder, offers a tactile prelude to the interiors that await.

Inside, wicker ceilings stretched between robust timber beams echo age-old craftsmanship, though their crisp execution feels resolutely contemporary. Whitewashed walls have been animated by a playful choreography of sculpted alcoves and softly rendered arches, with natural light weaving patterns across their textured surfaces. Flagstone floors harmoniously transitioning into honed concrete reinforce the subtle hierarchy of the villa’s spatial narrative.
Materiality takes centre stage, with an earthy palette that privileges authenticity over ornament where every detail fosters a dialogue between rustic textures and refined precision. Wood and stone, left delightfully raw and tactile, have been shaped into minimalist forms: from a monolithic stone kitchen island and a carved stone bathtub, to the limewashed spiral staircase—a sculptural punctuation mark within the ground floor common areas—all the way to floor-to-ceiling pivot windows framed in wood and fitted with latticed shutters.

Furniture selections further amplify this spirit. Low-slung, generously cushioned sofas invite indolent lounging, while handcrafted pieces—many bespoke, others carefully sourced—lend a sculptural quality to the living spaces. Whether carved from wood or upholstered in sun-warmed hues, each object complements the architecture without clamouring for attention, embodying a philosophy where craftsmanship and comfort walk hand in hand.
