2 villas make up one huge sculpture with 5-meter-high windows, swimming pools and 6 acres of private land.
How would you describe The Joya in a nutshell?
The Joya is a true sanctuary for those seeking both privacy and togetherness in a luxurious yet inviting setting. Designed for large groups, it offers multiple living areas that can be connected or closed off as desired, making it highly flexible. The name "Joya"—meaning "jewel" in Spanish — was inspired by the villa’s breathtaking outdoor naya, a stunning 14x3m covered terrace, as well as the incredible views and the magnificent ancient tree beside the pool.
What is the story behind The Joya? What was your inspiration to create it?
At The June Boutiques, we are passionate about crafting unique, inspiring spaces where guests can experience a true sense of calm and connection. Every one of our boutique villas is designed to offer high-end comfort while maintaining a distinctive character. The Joya, in particular, was envisioned as a place where families and groups can come together in a meaningful way.
As a large family ourselves, we understand the magic of spending holidays together while also valuing the importance of personal space. That’s why The Joya features three separate living areas, which can be merged or kept private as needed. It’s also a dream setting for weddings, photo shoots, or special gatherings. And for even larger groups, The Joya can be combined with our neighboring villa, The June, allowing up to 22 guests to stay in one exclusive retreat.
How would you describe the atmosphere and interior design of The Joya?
The Joya radiates warmth, tranquility, and character. Earthy tones set a natural, grounding ambiance, while carefully curated vintage pieces add soul and personality to the space. Every detail is chosen to create a sense of harmony, from the soft textures of linen fabrics to the presence of handcrafted decor. A signature element in all our homes is the gong, which symbolizes balance and serenity. It sets the tone for relaxation and mindful living, encouraging guests to truly unwind and embrace the slower rhythm of The Joya’s surroundings.
To you personally, what is so special about The Joya?
The Joya is a place where the old and the new come together in harmony. Its authentic Spanish charm is preserved in the villa’s architecture and lush gardens, which feel both peaceful and alive. But what truly makes The Joya stand out is its versatility. Whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a retreat to reconnect with nature and yourself, the space adapts to your needs. With its wellness features, serene outdoor spaces, and thoughtful design, The Joya is more than just a villa — it’s an experience.
What’s your policy on children?
Children are more than welcome at The Joya! That said, we always advise parents to keep a close eye on little ones, as there are a few things to be mindful of:
- The hot tub has warm water flows, which can get quite hot.
- The pool is not fenced, so supervision is important.
- The property has different levels and steps, making it a bit adventurous for younger kids.
If you’re traveling with children, we recommend taking extra precautions to ensure a fun and safe stay.
