Ibiza hotels

Travellers seeking refuge from the island's seasonal party pace can recharge at Agroturismo Atzaro, a rustic 300-year-old property three miles from the city centre. Every inch of the 13-hectare hotel radiates nature, most notably at the lush multi-sensory gardens and spa zone.

Among the best hotels in Ibiza for couples, rooms are equipped with welcome treats in bespoke spaces furnished with romantic dark wood headboards, beams, or four-poster beds backdropped by whitewashed walls and colourful regional artwork. La Veranda restaurant, a notable highlight, flavours local meat and fish with garden-fresh fruits and veggies.

The relaxing vibe continues with the amenities, which include daily yoga classes and boat and land excursions. For the ultimate indulgence, I recommend a swim in the 43-metre pool followed by a herb-infused oil massage treatment and a daybed lounge scented with fragrant lavender and orange trees.

Montesol Experimental Ibiza attracts those looking for exceptional lodgings in the heart of the action. That’s largely due to the hotel’s prime location, surrounded by the tree-sprinkled Vara del Rey square right in the centre of Ibiza Town.

The UNESCO World Heritage site of Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s fortified old town, and the Port – two of my favourite landmarks – are a brisk stroll away. Bohemian in look and feel, the 33-room hotel is filled with quirky design touches. The clean and comfy guestrooms, meanwhile, are whimsically adorned with asymmetric furnishings and a mishmash of hues and textiles.

When not out exploring, I like to alternate between people-watching from Cafe Montesol's outdoor space or heading to The Rooftop Bar, with its impressive old town views. Better still, both areas serve classic Mediterranean bites and must-try signature cocktails.

Experience Ibiza like nobility at the 12-room Mirador de Dalt Vila, located inside the walled-in old town. This stately townhouse, built in 1904, is the perfect choice for history buffs. It retains hints of its former glory through a classic decor updated with modern technology for optimum comfort.

The hotel's diminutive size doesn’t allow for many communal amenities. However, a small first-floor pool and the Can Font restaurant offer a convivial, tranquil setting, with the latter overlooking the quaint Plaza de Espana. The little eatery is a superb spot for a coffee break and a think about the day's agenda.

One of the best hotels in Ibiza, if you’re celebrating a special occasion, the Grand Suite is the room to book, thanks to its private terrace with hot tub. Central Ibiza is a convenient short drive away, with cultural landmarks like the 13th-century Catedral d'Eivissa readily accessible on foot.
