El Palacio Blanco – A Landmark Six-Bedroom Estate with Tourist Licence and Panoramic Views
Perched among the highest points in the heart of Ibiza, El Palacio Blanco is a masterpiece of timeless design and one of the island’s most iconic homes. With sweeping views that stretch from Sant Llorenç to Formentera, this exclusive six-bedroom estate combines the rich soul of Moroccan architecture with the calm elegance of the Mediterranean.
Originally designed by Rolf Blakstad in his reinterpretation of the classic riad, this was the very first project of Ibiza’s most celebrated architectural legacy. Offered to the market for the first time in over two decades, the villa represents a rare fusion of architectural heritage, privacy, and enduring potential—complete with a coveted tourist licence.
The home unfolds around a tranquil central courtyard, where a serene terrace and shimmering pool invite relaxed days beneath floating linen canopies. This is a space made for golden-hour gatherings and long, sun-soaked afternoons. A second, larger pool stretches along the edge of the landscaped gardens, framed by panoramic countryside views and anchored by a domed stone gazebo — an ideal vantage point for stargazing or sunset watching.
Inside, the Moorish influence continues. The voluminous main reception is a dramatic centrepiece, crowned by a majestic domed ceiling and softly lit by ornate lanterns. Sculptural built-in seating adds a social rhythm to the space. The kitchen and dining room feature handcrafted details, from an alcove mural to a deep-set window seat with views over the gardens. Six peaceful bedrooms, each thoughtfully styled with calming tones, canopied beds, and natural textures, offer the perfect retreat. A separate staff apartment provides additional comfort and convenience.
The estate is fully self-sufficient, equipped with its own water supply and solar power, offering a rare level of autonomy and sustainability.
Location
Tucked into the peaceful northern countryside of Ibiza, El Palacio Blanco enjoys proximity to the island’s most picturesque beaches, known for their turquoise waters and pine-scented coves.

Santa Gertrudis, with its lively mix of restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, is just over ten minutes by car, as is the esteemed Morna International College.
