Villa Roca is a hacienda of Bauhaus design, built by the late Ibizencan architect Erwin Bronner, whose own house is now a museum in Ibiza Town. The villa features terracotta floors, tiered balconies, and open fireplaces. It has a large living room area, and a spacious outside open plan terrace, where guests dine, relax and socialize.
The villa is situated 30 meters above sea level, and a 3-minute 180-meter walk to the beach, along a private path. Villa Roca sits on 20 acres of land which is filled with wildflowers, and pear, olive, apple, orange, and banana trees. To cap it all, it is nestled amongst a beautiful pine forest. On clear days, it has almost uninterrupted sunshine from early morning to late afternoon. With five large bedrooms, two of which have balconies, and one with its own door leading to the garden.
Situated at the back of the Villa with its own side entrance and windows that face East, so plenty of morning sunshine as it rises in the morning. No other room in the villa has this aspect. The double doors open out to the large garden which contains many fruit trees. Sit outside the room and view distant pinewood hills and forests. There are large cupboards and a wardrobe for storage.
This is the only room upstairs in the villa that has its own entrance although it only locks from the inside so guests use it to air the room or sit outside in the sun but not as a door to enter through. There is a washing line close to the room for your private use.
The room is next to a bathroom which is shared with Room 3. Pagoda 6 can be seen in the garden from this room.
Situated at the back of the villa a very basic bedroom but a favorite of many returning guests and historically tends to get booked up first. Receives the least natural sunlight / daylight as there is only one small window. All the other rooms have ceiling-to-floor doors that open out of the Villa. This room is enclosed within the Villa and that is appeal to some guests.
The one window has a view of pagoda 3 in the garden and the landscape beyond. The window's wooden shutters open up to the steps that lead up to the yoga deck. The pagoda guests use the steps to access their pagodas. There is a large wardrobe for storage and a full-length mirror. The bathroom is next door and is shared with Room 4.
Large ceiling-to-floor windows containing french doors open onto your own balcony and possible to step off your balcony onto the terrace where guests eat their daily meal. Situated at the front of the villa overlooking the garden, driveway, and the distant road that heads in and out of Benirras. There are large wardrobes for storage. There are two ways of entering this room, from the terrace and from inside the villa. You can book this room as two single beds or one double bed.
Ceiling-to-floor windows containing french doors that lead to own private balcony. Situated at the front of the villa overlooking the terraced garden, pagoda 1, stairs to enter the villa, and the main terrace where guests eat their daily meal. There is a large wardrobe for storage. Room 4 shares a bathroom with Room 2.
On the ground floor level overlooking Villa Nova and its gardens. Directly above room 5 is the communal terrace where the daily meal is served. The main part of the villa is upstairs from room 5. This is the only accommodation in Villa Roca with an en-suite shower room. It offers from a communal terrace its own entrance with double glass doors and non-opening floor-to-ceiling windows. Next to this room are the laundry and store room. The room does not receive much direct sunlight due to its North facing aspect. If you like some privacy this is the room to book.
If you want to feel closer to nature, why not try one of the delightful pagodas, in the garden of Villa Roca? It has easy access to the yoga deck and its facilities include a really refreshing, powerful shower. By day, you can surround yourself with the sounds of countless birds, including robins, hawks, swifts, sparrows, and gulls, and feel the sea air fill and clean your lungs.
At night you can send yourself to sleep listening to the gentle sound of nature and the sweet scent of pine trees. If you live in a town or city, you will be taken aback by its silence, save the calming sounds of crickets and the feel of the breeze. On moonlit nights you can see the shimmering trees and fauna cast their shadows in what can only be described as magical.
On clear summer nights, you will recognize the many constellations, with the Milky Way spread across the sky like magic dust, and if you are really lucky, you can see shooting stars. After a night or two, you will forget all about the traffic, noise, and pollution of the big city and almost imagine you are back in time, when people lived simply, spending their lives amongst nature.
Benirras is a valley and both the Tipis are in the base of the valley at sea and road level. There are people walking along the road, and cars driving along it. The garden gate is the access point for the guests of the main villa and the Casita to use.
Noise travels very well at night. Guests sit on the balcony of the villa or the outside area of the Casita voices are heard as they chat and sometimes strum a guitar. In August and September, the whole area of Benirras is a busy place. Quiet from 01:00. to 08:00. is usual but outside these hours it's a buzzing laid-back vibe. Ibiza Yoga try to explain it the way it is so there are no disappointments.
The WiFi only works in the Villa, on the terrace, and in Pagoda 3. Drop-down lockable shutters block the sunlight and give extra privacy in all pagodas. One hot water outdoor shower and one cold outdoor shower two sinks and a toilet service the entire pagoda garden. Towels are not supplied but can be ordered when booking at check out.

The villa is only available for tea/coffee making and internet during the hours of 08:00. to 10:00. All meals are served on the terrace of Villa Roca. If you are traveling alone and Ibiza Yoga does not find you a 'pagoda roommate' you will have the pagoda to yourself. Beds are made with fresh bed linen and pagodas are cleaned on Saturdays only leaving week-day bed-making for the guests to do. Only the outdoor shower block and communal area is cleaned each day.

Villa Roca and the Pagoda Garden are closed between the hours of 10:00 and 14:00 on Saturday. It is possible to be on-site early or leave late but for this, Ibiza Yoga makes a charge. The reason Ibiza Yoga needs the property empty for those hours is to clean it throughout ready for the arrival of the incoming guests.
Please note that between the months of November and April the central heating is switched on from 07.30 to 10:00. and 17:00. until 23:00 daily. Ibiza Yoga does not supply electric heaters outside of these hours as they overload and trip the electrical system.

The yoga teachers come from all over the world and are chosen for their experience and teaching ability. Each has its own individual style; some of them incorporate techniques from other disciplines, such as Tai Chi, dance, meditation, massage, and physiotherapy, so lessons can be incredibly varied.

Tina attended acting classes and was involved in the acting and film industry. During that time, she became deeply involved on a journey of spiritual detoxing, to discover her own inner happiness. Through her inner desire to find this happiness and renewal of her spirit, she was guided to a practice that comes from her cell's memory, the discovery of her passion, yoga. She is a certified yoga teacher with over 500-hour of training. Her training and techniques are in Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Yin yoga, among others.
Ibiza Yoga is beautifully located just 4 minutes from The beach is a 4 minute walk from Benirras Beach. (A day to visit it will be chosen depending on what the group decides). One of the most famous beaches on the island, steeped in beach history, home to the worlds most luxurious super-yachts that come and go the occupants of which frequents the beach restaurants, Benirras is the only bay on the island to be designated a nature reserve therefore not a single hotel in site.
Benirras is in the unspoilt north of the island, an area rich in ley lines and with a strong spiritual history. Famous for its wonderful sunsets, the west facing bay is home to a rock known as 'The King of Benirras' which sits majestically in the crystalline waters. The beach has three typical Spanish restaurants and an ice cream and juice bar.
Although no longer in existence as such, the August full-moon beach festival lives on in a smaller version each Sunday evening. One of the main attractions and coming from far afield are the drummers and guitarists who give an 'unplugged' concert: their volume builds up into a crescendo as the sun sets. Dancers, fire-eaters, sand-sculptures and craft stands enliven this weekly gathering.
The strict local planning laws ensure that no unsightly hotels or resorts are built in this area of outstanding natural beauty. Villa Roca and the Pagoda Garden and the owners Villa Nova are among the less than a dozen villas in this unspolit nature harbour.
A well kept secret by the locals, the wide curved beach is of soft sand that gently slopes into the sea. The sheltered natural harbour is a popular anchoring spot for private yachts and motor boats, who often gather there to enjoy the romantic sundown.Good for snorkellers. Size: 160 metres long, 40 metres wide. Naked bathing to one side of the beach.
Benirras beach has been voted 'the 4th best beach in Europe' by the Sunday Times Travel Supplement and the best address in Ibiza by The best of Ibiza Magazine.
During the winter months the 3 restaurants are closed and the beach is quieter.
The famous drumming still takes place every sunday however on a smaller scale and instead of beach activities there are some amazing hikes to go on in the local area instead.
Benirras and Ibiza is a lot quieter and relaxing during the winter months.

The guided tour of the cave takes 45 minutes. Refreshments can be purchased afterward on the platform overlooking Port San Miguel. The stalactites and stalagmites are waiting to be seen.
From the first viewpoint, there is a panoramic view over the whole of the bay of Puerto San Miguel, also known as Puerto Balanzat. The Murada island can be seen in the background where a unique prehistoric species of Muradensis lizard lives. After following along a path cut out of the rocks, one reaches the mouth of the cave, at a level of 14 meters above sea level. This is the starting point of the visit.
The cave is over 100,000 old and has suffered ice ages and tropical heat waves. Discovered by smugglers who used it for hiding their goods, hoisting them up from the sea from an opening located 10 meters above sea level. It is still possible to see the red and black paint marks signposting another way out of the cave in case the smugglers had to escape in a hurry. The tour of the cave costs 9 EUR.
A walk to the next bay, named Moon beach. The walk starts from Villa Roca, walk 100 metres up the hill along the Callle de Benirras towards the San Juan Road. From here, start along the uphill path that meanders its way higher and higher. The stunning views along the way are of the valley that Benirras is part of and the hills beyond at highest point it is possible to see the centre of the entire island. Passing an old disused Lime Kiln surrounded by pine trees and shortly after you are at the top.
The view from the top of the mountain is probably the best to be had of Benirras Bay, Ills des Bosc and the Mediterranean beyond. From the best view point, then start the journey down the other side of the mountain toward our final destination. In view now is Isla den Caldes and some days on the horizon you may see the Ferry that passes from Magalouf to Denia and back daily. The path zig-zags its way almost to the end, where it levels out in a straight line. Moon beach is found via a pathway through a small gulley. A beach that has no houses or no roads to it, just a dirt track makes it available to the few fisherman huts that are built into the rocky hill at sea level next to the sandy shore. Its a small beach but quite a delight. Moon beach is famous for its hippie parties going back to the 1970's.
Ibiza Yoga can show you where you can take the walk on your own and have it for yourself but please take note that this is not a guided walk.
To complement the daily yoga classes, Ibiza Yoga has independent practitioners of various disciplines offering treatments on site group or individual sessions.
