Casa Sebastian

The Casa Sebastian experience starts with a winding journey via a dusty mountain track, lined by ancient trees whose protective branches guide you lovingly in. Then, just as you begin to doubt your route, you arrive, taking in the chalky white glow of Casa Sebastian. With heart-opening panoramic views of turquoise seas, tucked away on the side of a mountain, Casa Sebastian feels secluded yet reassuringly friendly and warm. It is a short car ride from the idyllic village of San Joan and moments from some of the most treasured beaches found in the bohemian north. 

Here the interiors, designed by stylist Katerina Phillips, are all about texture and playful glamour in soft blush palettes of pistachio, delicate peach and buttery creams that fill the rooms with a glow of happy energy and light. Unusual vintage artifacts add joy and surprise for you to admire and feel. Blessed with mesmerising west-facing views, Casa Sebastian invites you to savour them all, either hanging out together or sneaking away, there are many communal as well as hidden spots to choose from.

Feel as if you are perched on the edge of the mountain (literally) while swimming in the infinity pool. A good family size, it’s ideal for both children and adults. There are shaded sun loungers, massive water resistant beanbags and contemporary designer furniture positioned around the pool. By the side of the main villa and beyond the olive tree is a seating area with a sail-inspired covered awning. Feeling hungry, then move a few small steps from your seating to the white table for those mid-morning snacks.

There are two additional outside dining areas — the first is the gloriously rustic long wooden table outside the kitchen, which comes with a sink area and BBQ. The third is located just to the side of the main villa and surprisingly has its own mini kitchen offering independence for when your teenagers want their own space and freedom to dine.

Smile as your little ones create their own adventures at Casa Sebastian, with a good size garden for them to play in, the highlight for most is the large teepee. Just try keeping those pesky adults out.
