I recently stayed at the Lotus Villa with 5 friends (mixed group). Our thoughts before arriving were whether or not it would appear as it does in the photos. Rest assured it certainly does. The interior is very nice, it's spacious, comfortable, has a large kitchen/living area and the bathrooms are very cool. The outside area is obviously the main point selling point of the villa. It is exactly as the pictures suggest, the pool is a good size and the outside cabana is a nice touch. Location wise it's a 2 minute walk from a big Supermarket that is very reasonably priced. May I recommend Mahou Lager - 6 bottles for about 3 Euros (It now sells for £5.05 a pint in London). It's a 5-7 minute taxi to Ushuaia and from there you're in the centre of Bossa and this is about 8 Euros. The only irritation we had all holiday was struggling to get through to the taxi companies and in the end we had to usually wait around 10-15 minutes to flag one down by the roundabout at the bottom of the road. However, bear in mind we were there for Radio 1 weekend which is the busiest of the year and the taxi drivers did say it's stupidly busy. So, if you're not going first week in August you should be absolutely fine, if you are, then 15 minutes waiting for a taxi in the sun isn't much of a chore..! One final thing - The representative (Maria) that met us with the keys and introduced us to the Villa helped things run smoothly. We also had a late flight and the day we checked out so she took our cases and met us with them at the airport bang on our agreed time. This is a very useful service as Ibiza flights can be very late and we didn't have to haul our luggage round all day.

I'd love to go into some recommendations and spend all day talking about Ibiza daytime and nightlife but sadly I'm back at my desk and have put off my work for long enough this morning!! Ok...just quickly....Obviously you have the big clubs - they're all great and have their own thing but which you prefer totally depends on what music you like. Couple of more 'cultural' options....KM5 and Bambuddha for fancy food, Las Salinas beach (Jockey Club bar on the beach is lively) for a day trip, Formentera (because it's like being in the Caribbean) and a trip to the port if you have time (to see some ridiculous yachts). Ushuaia....this is a must. We saw Avicii but you're spoilt for options...Ibiza Spotlight will give you the weekly line ups.

In conclusion, another very successful trip to Ibiza. I'll be back next year for my yearly fix and would not hesitate to come back to Lotus if the numbers lend itself to renting a villa. Couldn't recommend the villa enough, you won't be disappointed!

The villa was beautiful and perfect for our family, very modern/contemporary in style, fantastic sized private pool which the kids loved. Great location to get anywhere on the island and only 10 mins from the airport.

We loved it so much we're booking again next year!
