Fit for a Duchess... £100,000 a WEEK villa where Meghan spent her birthday
THE Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 38th birthday in a luxurious £108,000-a-week villa in Ibiza featuring a 50- metre infinity pool, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Meghan, Prince Harry and their baby son Archie enjoyed a six-day stay at the Sa Calma villa on the exclusive Vista Alegre estate. It lies close to the picturesque village of Es Cubells on the south-western coast of the island.
In addition to the sea- facing pool, the seven-bedroom property boasts a gym, jacuzzi, an office and sprawling garden terraces.
Visitors are provided with a house manager, waitress, live-in caretakers, housekeepers, a Range Rover with driver and night security guard. Yacht charters, beauticians, bartenders, nannies, masseurs, personal trainers and yoga instructors are available on request.
Despite the army of local staff, the couple are understood, according to a source at the complex, to have brought their own chef when they flew in by private jet on August 6.
The flight sparked accusations that Harry was being hypocrical after he gave a speech at the end of July on the dangers of climate change at a Google Camp event in Sicily, which he also travelled to by private jet.
Estimates suggested it would take 1,400 trees ten years to offset the Duke and Duchess’s private jet flights over the past two years.
The pair were criticised for taking four private jet flights in 11 days this month, with Sir Elton John revealing he paid for their flights to his holiday home in Nice.
Sir Elton later claimed he had made an ‘appropriate contribution’ to a carbon footprint fund in order to offset the environmental impact of the flights, which came a few days after their trip to Ibiza.
Locals in Ibiza claimed that the couple also hired Spanish guards to bolster the security provided by Royal protection officers.
The three- storey villa enjoys stunning views of Porroig bay, where super yachts regularly moor, and access to the Sa Caixota beach. The villa – advertised for rent during the peak season at up to £108,000 a week – is modern with carved wooden tables and chairs.
Previous guests have included Sir Paul McCartney and DJ David Guetta and a local said the Vista Alegre resort is ‘packed with the rich and famous’.
Sa Calma is owned by an Ibizan company called Art Invest Studio. Its sole director is Maria Isabel Esparcia Pedraza but the villa’s ultimate owner is understood to be Fernando Corominas, a property developer. Asked about the recent visit by the Duke and Duchess, a spokesman confirmed Mr Corominas as the villa’s owner, but said he could not discuss the Sussexes.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
