Best Hotels in Ibiza
Pure House Ibiza
Pure House, located off-grid in the campo yet only a short drive from Ibiza town, provides both leisure and accessibility to action—the best of both Balearic worlds. Spend days relaxing by the pool, then venture out to Ibiza town's bustling restaurants and bars after nightfall falls and the proclivity for Ibiza-based mischief emerges.
The airport is about a 10-minute drive away, while the beaches of Las Salinas, Talamanca, and Playa d'en Bossa, all of which are popular party spots, are another five minutes away.
This stunning 19th-century finca is set on a 30-acre estate with orange, mango, apricot, and fig trees, surrounded by a vibrant green pine forest. It teems with life, with enormous, billowing palms and bright, exotic flora that sometimes resembles a jungle.
The intimate and carefully maintained rooms transport you to mellow countries, reflecting the essence of white isle bohemia with delicate ethnic elements, woven lampshades, and plenty of bamboo thatching. It couldn't be simpler to sit back, soak it all in, and do very little else. No wonder children are not permitted.
Pure House seems like a home away from home, thanks to personalised care and a crew that is constantly reachable via WhatsApp. Owner Caroline is the ultimate host, appearing just when you need her.
The large, rectangular pool is lined with comfortable loungers and covered cabanas where visitors may steal away for a nap, and there is a private pavilion in the garden for massages and cosmetic treatments. Yoga, Pilates, and exercise classes can be scheduled upon request. The delightfully chilled café serves snacks and cuisine all day. Caroline handpicks the products and jewellery for the on-site boutique, many of which are highly desirable.
There are four finca suites and one freestanding suite, all with a private entrance and terrace. Each space has an own personality, yet they are all supported by luxury, organic textiles, dark wood, white walls, and striking wall hangings. The beds and pillows are huge and deliciously plush, and the bathrooms have walk-in showers.
Breakfast is offered between 9 a.m. and 11.30 a.m., with selections such as the English (two eggs, crispy bacon, fresh tomato), Healthy (homemade yoghurt and fresh fruit), and Ibiza (jamon serrano, manchego cheese, tomato). Coffee and fresh juice are also available. Lunch is offered between 1pm and 4pm and includes robust salads and various burgers (starting at €24/£21), while tapas meals are provided between 1pm and 9pm, making them ideal for an early light dinner.
Seven Pines Resort Ibiza
Seven Pines, nestled between pine forest on one side and the Mediterranean on the other, is ideal for taking in views of the rocky island of Es Vedrà and, of course, the famous Ibiza sunset.
The picturesque little bay of Cala Codolar is about 200 metres away, while Cala Comte, undoubtedly one of Ibiza's best, is a 15-minute walk away.
Seven Pines, which resembles a little Ibicenco town rather than a hotel, is a collection of individual suites scattered across a huge clifftop and surrounded by residential homes. Because of the scale of the facility, staff personnel circulate on bikes and golf buggies, nodding, waving, or smiling as they pass.
There are numerous communal areas to hang out in, whether by the pool, bar, restaurant or spa - enough to ensure that you never have to leave the resort, which is ideal if your goal is to lapse into a state of complete relaxation. The decor is discreetly opulent, with a concentration on natural materials and a neutral palette accented by the occasional piece of standout furniture or wall hanging.
Service is excellent; staff members smile at every request and anticipate every requirement, making an extra effort if you're dining alone, for example, or offering you a fresh sarong before you've gotten wet. Speaking of which, there's a gorgeous infinity pool with its own chiringuito, a tiny bar that serves beverages and nibbles. It's lined with sleek grey parasols and loungers, some of which provide a direct view of Es Vedrà in the distance. There's a second pool with a more family-friendly ambiance that's perfect for kids, and a food truck outside provides Mexican munchies.
Pure Seven Spa is a magnificent, light-filled space that offers a variety of first-rate treatments and programmes, such as massages, facials, full-moon yoga classes, and weight-loss retreats. The entire spa strives to be totally sustainable, thus essential oils are acquired locally and no plastic is allowed on the premises. Three Pershing yachts are available for lease.
There are 186 suites in total, with approximately eight different classifications. Some offer private pools, while others feature sea views and two bedrooms. The most expensive are situated on a secluded portion of sea-facing clifftop. They all feel like private, serviced apartments.
Each is arranged in a modern manner with wooden floors, neutral walls, and patterned pillows and curtains in colours of cerulean blue and green, as well as terraces or balconies, large living areas, and kitchenettes. Showers offer three settings - standard, rain head, and spa - and include Molton Brown products.
The View Restaurant serves sophisticated Asian food. It's not cheap (mains start at €29/£26), but for a one-time treat, it's well worth it. Start with the charred Galician octopus (the Korean chilli paste adds a nice kick), and if you like meat, the Kagoshima beef (€92/£82) is a must-have.
Breakfast is offered at The View between 8 a.m. and lunchtime, with a large buffet and à la carte alternatives. Start with freshly baked pastries and bread served with custom-made spreads and jams, organic muesli, fresh fruit and sausages and bacon from the grill, then choose from dishes such as pancakes, French toast, eggs Benedict and shakshouka, all of which are fantastic.
Six Senses Ibiza
Perched like a watchkeeper over the gorgeous Xarraca Bay, you truly feel like you're on top of the island. Cala Xuclar, with its outstanding tiny chiringuito, is a five-minute drive away, while Ibiza airport is 35 minutes away and Ibiza town is 25 minutes away; the hotel offers immediate sea access.
This is a vast resort, yet it has been carefully designed to complement its surroundings. The lights are dimmed at night, and one of the restaurants is built into the rock. The overall architecture is incredibly open and airy, with remnants of the land's history maintained undisturbed. Materials are both local and locally inspired, with thatched details and sumptuous furnishings lending an air of haute bohemia. Nature, however, is the actual star here, with 360-degree sunsets and the sound of lapping waves.
The crew are dressed in neutrals, with some wearing attractive panama hats. The service is quite friendly, if not entirely slick.
The spa facilities here are world-class. Even the most common treatments are infused with science and/or spiritual fairy dust, as well as personalisation. Highlights include the age-defying RoseBar, biohacking treatments, and breathing exercises. There is also an infrared sauna, a boxing ring, daily exercise and wellbeing workshops, and other retreats are offered throughout the year.
Standard rooms are relaxing, with neutral colours, USB plugs, silky soft beds, and views of the sea or the trees, as well as Marshall speakers and coffee/tea amenities. The bathrooms have walk-in showers, the supplies are refillable, and the robes are organic cotton from the Italian firm La DoubleJ. The minibar is filled with healthy, independent, and local items including mushroom supplements and CBD-infused sparkling drinks. The Cave Royale room features a grand piano, a bar and a door that leads to a recording studio.
Breakfast at The Farmers' Market is not a buffet, which is a stylish beginning. Instead, choose from a Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine, with many items sourced from the hotel's farm.
Begin dinner with a drink at the Pharmacy Bar, then choose between The Orchard for open-fire, open-air dining; HaSalon by celebrated Israeli chef Eyal Shani for Mediterranean-inspired largely vegetable dishes under the festoon-lit olive trees; or Live Cave, which serves both BONDST (NY) sushi and a tapas menu from Wednesday to Sunday, with some of the best sunset views on the island.
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay
Surprisingly, beachfront hotels in Ibiza are uncommon, making Nobu's location on the waters of Talamanca more desirable. The beach itself is a long stretch of sand backed by a plethora of laid-back restaurants popular with locals, and while it's not the greatest on the island, it does provide spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the adjacent island of Formentera in the distance.
The hotel first opened in 2017, and since then it has truly grown into its skin, integrating flawlessly with the salt-licked terrain and effortlessly reaching the oft-cited but difficult-to-achieve sweet spot of relaxed luxury. It's now the type of hotel that knows what it does well and focuses on excelling at it, which for guests means sublime calm combined with occasional extravagance.
The structure itself is a four-story complex divided from the sand by two swimming pools and sunbeds, with interiors that alternate between fawn and ivory, gold and topaz — all very Mediterranean. The entryway is a showpiece: a light-filled area surrounded with enormous soft sofas and rattan swinging seats, it draws the eye out to the pool and dazzling sea beyond, making it feel like the vacation begins the moment you step foot in the door.
The staff is courteous and attentive, and nothing is too much bother – if they move your umbrella to shade you from the sun once, they will return hourly to repeat the procedure indefinitely. Unsurprisingly, the concierge crew is extremely helpful and may be called for anything from restaurant reservations to larger demands such as yacht moorings.
There are two elegant stone swimming pools, one of which is designated for families. Both look out over the Mediterranean and are flanked with cabanas and sunbeds, the best of which need a minimum spend of €150 (£126) — these should be reserved in advance, although there are plenty of beds to satisfy demand.
The main draw here is the proximity to the sea, and all 152 rooms and suites are built to complement it. Needless to say, floor-to-ceiling windows and vast, expansive patios are common, and the colour scheme is as relaxing as the sound of waves breaking nearby.
Cream walls and flooring are accentuated with soft furnishings in turquoise and azure, as well as exquisite handblown glass pendant lamps hanging beside the bed. White marble bathrooms have big walk-in showers (tubs in superior categories) and are outfitted with Natura Bissé items and professional-grade hairdryers.
Breakfast is served at sand-in-the-toes Chambao and includes a buffet selection of fruit, juice, pastries, cereal, and other items, as well as an à la carte menu of eggs in a variety of delightful forms.
At midday, the menu changes to fresh coastal classics like gazpacho, octopus, and burrata salad, as well as a variety of tapas meals and, of course, chiringuito-style paella. There is also a separate children's menu.
Legado Ibiza Finca Hotel
Legado Ibiza is located just off the main road leading north to Santa Eularia, right before the section where traffic is always backed up. Cala Llonga is a 10-minute drive away, while Ibiza Town and the airport take about 15 minutes.
If there was ever a hotel that felt like the ideal place for folks who enjoy touring the island and going out to dinner as much as they relish spending time doing nothing, this is it. The proprietors, both named Andreas, have always wanted to own a hotel, and Legado Ibiza feels like their second home - because it is.
After purchasing the hotel and relocating to Ibiza from Vienna (though they both continue to travel to Austria for work), they set out to restore the finca's individuality and spark. The pool is surrounded by woven Moroccan baskets on cast iron shelves and enormous sunbeds with pink marble-print covers, as well as plants.
The grounds are also worth visiting, with nooks and crannies strewn throughout, including a small, Japanese-inspired pond and garden. Aside from the gorgeous rooms and delicious breakfast, the two Andreases are the standouts here. They're both terrific hosts, easygoing and eager to serve, and can read their guests, whipping up drinks if they feel a need or, equally, leaving you alone to read your magazine by the pool.
Legado Ibiza has 11 rooms and one suite, all of which have been beautifully updated to a high degree. This is not surprising given that one of the owners is a well-known art director and creative consultant for fashion and lifestyle brands. Artichoke-print wallpaper and unusual décor - think design-y plates with faces on the wall, vintage Bambi prints and 1950s paperbacks - added a lot of flair to my double room, which also included a distinctive, custom-made iron bed frame and an extremely comfy mattress.
There was also a living room with a bar cart (filtered water is served in glass, not plastic, bottles), a spotless bathroom with modern faucets and a rainfall shower, and a covered, partially shared outside patio.
Breakfast is a social event at Legado, and while it is served at tables near to the pool, the transition from dining chair to sunlounger is quite fluid and seamless. Continental breakfast is gratis and includes bread (ask for the thinly sliced, thickly seeded German version, which is fantastic), yoghurt with handmade muesli and fresh fruit, and a soft cooked egg. You can also get the 'Vienna' variety, which includes dulce de leche, or the 'Finca', which has tomato, avocado, and jamon.
Breakfast is the only meal served everyday, but the proprietors are fantastic hosts and plan dinner parties and activities at the finca, such as Dinner4Friends, a supper club that runs on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout the summer.
Ca Na Xica
The hotel is located in the northern part of the island, just a five-minute drive from Benirrà s, which features a sandy beach and Sunday night bongo drummers.
All cares appear to vanish at remote Ca Na Xica, a refuge where pure white walls stand out against the terracotta-clay surroundings, which include unique tall grasses, cacti, olive and almond trees, and a lemon and orange orchard. The T-shaped seawater pool is the focal point of the hotel, which began with just six rooms in the main house, designed in the style of a Spanish finca.
The partially open-air, glass-walled restaurant is also notable, in a clever touch, the toilets are marked 'blah' and 'blahblahblah' (we will let you figure out which ones is for male and which one is for female guests). There is enough of space around the pool and spa to lounge, and the views - and birdsong - will make you want to do very little throughout your visit.
The wonderful spa, complete with a large outdoor whirlpool tub, is a real delight. Massages, facials, and manicures are available in three treatment rooms, which also include a sauna and hammam. The concierge can set for boat rides and walking tours. The service is efficient and unobtrusive.
There are 20 rooms, six Double and Superior in the main house and 14 Premier Suites, all of which are spacious, stylish, and well-appointed. White and neutral colours predominate, as are cool flooring, well-stocked minibars, and Nespresso machines. The large patio with sofa and chairs overlooking olive and fig trees is a big draw, as is the light-filled bathroom, which has a glass-sided shower and looks out over a little enclosed garden of ferns, foliage and exactly matching stones.
The glass-fronted restaurant Salvia restaurant has two outdoor places where you may follow the sun, one for breakfast and the other for evening, but the inside is also wonderful and light. The Mediterranean cuisine is not cheap, but the food is exquisite, featuring dishes like langoustine with mango chutney, Josper-cooked, Ibiza-style marinated chicken, and tuna tartar with mango and avocado. Breakfast includes pastries, cereals, cold meats, juices, omelettes, and other options; there is also an excellent self-service coffee machine.
OKU Ibiza
The hotel is located on the west side of the island, nestled amid the pines and near to the picturesque cove of Cala Gració. San Antonio and the Sunset Strip are 15 minutes distant on foot, while the superb venues Cala Gracioneta and La Torre are only five. Es Tragón, Ibiza's only Michelin-starred restaurant, is also close.
Walk to the rocks and experience what this side of the island is famous for: spectacular sunsets.
If you prefer the décor that appears to be taking over 'design hotels' (wood, straw, and a neutral palette), you'll enjoy it here. Thatched umbrellas and drink shacks; clay-grey sun loungers and towels; poured, polished concrete; and golden wooden slabs and stone. There are banana trees and rattan eating seats. The pools are relaxing but lively, and the general atmosphere is upbeat: this is a vast, multi-level enterprise.
The reception/porter service is efficient, and there are plenty of workers buzzing around. The concierges provide intimate knowledge about local hotspots, and there are two pools, one of which is Olympic-sized and suitable for lengths. There's also a small but very Zen spa that offers services like the OKU trademark massage, and the gym includes stylish retro-looking equipment, personal trainers for training, and yoga in the morning. There is a fantastic boutique that sells apparel, toiletries, and jewellery.
The natural tones continue throughout the rooms. The double beds have linen sheets, the showers are rainforest, and the products are Le Labo. The lighting is gentle, and the Marshall speakers, USB outlets, and Nespresso machines make things simple. Robes and slippers are provided, and the rooms overlook the hills, forest, or pool.
Inside, light and shadows play an important role, and terraces, which are found in every room, help bring the outside in. There's also a flagship suite with a bar, ideal for partying; sea-view penthouses; and a separate private home with four bedrooms and a pool.
Mark Vaessen, the head chef, previously worked at Sushisamba London and has designed fantastic meals for the two restaurants. The OKU Restaurant, which serves Japanese and pan-Asian cuisine, is already a favourite among island residents and visitors. The atmosphere is high-gloss with excellent lighting, and there is a bar, DJ, sushi counter, booths for groups and tucked-away seats for couples. There's an omakase and a smaller bar menu, or you may order à la carte.
His more casual restaurant, To Kima, serves a light Spanish and Mediterranean fare and is available by the pool, on the patio, and in your room. In addition, there is a juice bar, a double-sided OKU bar with DJs at night, and a breakfast buffet with champagne, pancakes, omelettes on order and smoothies and fresh juices as well.
Les Terrasses Agroturismo
Located up a rocky camino off the main road between Ibiza town and Santa Eulalia (the entrance is marked by a giant blue stone), the hotel's picturesque countryside setting makes it feel like a peaceful, off-grid vacation despite being only minutes from the nearest towns. The seaside resort of Santa Eulalia is only a short drive away, while Ibiza town, with its Unesco-protected mediaeval walls and a plethora of shops, cafes, and restaurants, is around 15 minutes away by vehicle.
Surprising subtleties await around every bend here, where Gallic warmth pervades the foundations. It was meticulously created from the ground up by French proprietors over 30 years ago, and there's a distinct elegance intermingled with odd small details and a natural talent for horticulture.
Al fresco patios are surrounded by thick vegetation and adorned with wrought-iron tables and chairs, yet a little walk will lead you to secluded chill-out spaces complete with cosy cushions, dangling crystals, and softly lighted lamps. Inside, the decor is similarly eclectic, with small cubbyholes built into the original finca's structure, providing a quiet little spot to suit all moods.
Pink parasols, fruit trees, and classic Ibicenco walls provide shade for two tranquil swimming pools, one of which is heated. Spa treatments can be offered, and there is a tennis court for those who enjoy competing. Every night except Wednesday and Saturday, the restaurant serves meals to guests and tourists. The service is outstanding, as one would expect from a French institution, and best enjoyed on the beautiful outside patio.
There are a total of 12 rooms, each with its own unique design but all featuring pristine white walls, sandblasted wooden furniture, and spacious, comfortable mattresses. Bathrooms are enormous, with some featuring plunge baths, outdoor showers, or double sinks, and each room has a private outdoor terrace to take in the gorgeous gardens and views of the surrounding countryside.
On Tuesday evenings, there is a Moroccan feast that is so delicious that people go from all over the island to enjoy it, especially in the beautiful outdoor setting. Plates of perfectly cooked meat are served alongside roast vegetables and hand-rolled couscous – a phenomenal task that takes the chefs two days to complete. If you miss that, attempt to attend the Asian-themed night instead.
Breakfast is included and consists of traditional French fare such as crêpes, pastries, and handmade jam. A daily changing lunch buffet is served only to visitors.
Can Pardal
A modest, well-known church stands atop a hill in the heart of San Miguel, and Can Pardal is nestled in a corner adjacent to it. The north-west community has managed to sidestep the tourism boom, retaining much of its peaceful, Spanish charm in the process. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the town's few shops and restaurants, and Santa Gertrudis and Ibiza Town are ten and twenty minutes away, respectively. Benirrás and the northern beaches are around 15 minutes away.
Can Pardal is rich in history, thanks to the centuries-old church next door. Antonia and Margarita opened the hotel after a two-year makeover that preserved unique, traditional elements like low doors and sturdy finca walls while introducing terraced gardens, a beautiful pool area, and well-designed individual suites.
The sisters' taste is evident throughout, from the cool-yet-conservative décor to the immaculate gardening. The church bells on Sundays are a great added touch.
Can Pardal feels as loved and cared for as if it were the owners' own house - the sisters and their small but highly talented team are present all day, every day, with an inconspicuous approach. After a few days of this, you may mistake them for long-term friends rather than hotel owners, whether they're serving juice at breakfast or giving advice on what to order at local restaurants.
The enormous pool area is constantly properly maintained and served, and while there is no dedicated gym, the hotel's wide grounds on a hill provide plenty of cardio options for exercise enthusiasts.
The hotel's five suites are named after different bird species. Four of the suites feature large, private patios, while the fifth, Oriol, is slightly smaller and connects to the main structure. The décor is classic Spanish with a contemporary vibe, and warm elements add to the hotel's overall old-meets-new aesthetic: exposed finca beams, comfortable sofas, a modern bathroom with whirlpool tub and Hierbas de Ibiza amenities.
Breakfast is offered until a very generous 12pm, and it's a delightfully laid-back event. Antonia frequently serves customers herself, offering fresh-pressed orange juice, tea and coffee, tropical fruit, oven-warm pastries with handmade grapefruit jam, and a selection of cold meats. But don't stop there; eggs are made to order, and you can conclude with muesli and a tray of side dishes. Poolside salads and bocadillos (sandwiches) are offered, and while dinner is not served, La Luna Nell'Orto in San Miguel is one of the island's best-rated Italian restaurants.
Conclusion
Weather you are coming to Ibiza for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or to make the most of the island's legendary nightlife choosing the right hotel is crucial to make sure you get the best experience. Consider location, amenities and the vibe of the hotel to make sure your stay is unforgettable for the right reasons.
