The fine weather is fast approaching, and with it the desire to escape to destinations where you can be sure of enjoying the sun and warm turquoise waters. That’s what Ibiza has to offer, an island as much loved for its festive evenings as for its typically Mediterranean natural landscapes. Discover five exceptional hotels to book now.
The ME Ibiza by Melia
In the north-east of the island, in Santa Eulalia del Río, this Ibiza hotel enjoys a privileged combination of refinement and calm. This gentle combination is perfectly reflected in the rooftop infinity pool, which seems to hug the sea. Direct access to the beach is your best ally for a discreet getaway. The Mediterranean panorama can be enjoyed from the rooms, with views over the gardens and the water. Immaculate furnishings, cream-coloured walls, contemporary decor… The natural ambience of the accommodation is perfectly in tune with its island setting.
The dishes at the Origens restaurant reveal local flavours, to be enjoyed on the terrace, while the Radio Me Ibiza Rooftop table focuses on seafood and grilled meats (with a special mention for the DJs who liven up the evenings). And for a good pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven or a fish and rice dish, head for the Bianco Mare Beach & Pool Bar. There’s also the Thaï Room Spa, where you can enjoy Thai rituals, a counter-current pool, a whirlpool bath and a hammam.
The Hacienda Na Xamena
You’d think you were in the Santorini archipelago… The Hacienda Na Xamena hotel, one of the travel magazine www.yonder.fr‘s favourite places to stay in Ibiza, features architecture with round lines in the style of the famous white streets of the Cycladic island, enhanced by palm trees. The uncluttered rooms and suites boast panoramic terraces and, in some cases, a private pool overlooking the sea. This idyllic view is exploited on both sides of the hotel, at the Eden restaurant, where dinner is punctuated by a sublime sunset, and at the La Posidonie spa, an ideal sanctuary for enjoying the cliffside whirlpool bath and the Cascadas Suspendidas balneotherapy treatment.
Six Senses Ibiza
Even further north than its two predecessors, the Six Senses Ibiza establishment, which already benefits from the reputation of the hotel brand, has all the charm you’re looking for during a relaxing, upmarket stay on the island. And there’s plenty of choice when it comes to accommodation. Rooms with a sleek, sunny design overlooking the sea; suites, some of which are troglodyte, with huge terraces; spacious, intimate villas to welcome all your nearest and dearest… So you can enjoy the hotel’s impeccable service while relaxing in a cocoon of ivory and gold.
You can already imagine yourself swimming in the pools overlooking the sea, before heading to the warm, 1,200 m2 spa with its raw materials. And let’s not forget the Mediterranean flavours, Balearic cuisine, Italian dishes and Latin American dishes served in the various restaurants.
Montesol Experimental
For a stay in the heart of Ibiza’s old town, known as Dalt Vila, head to the Montesol Experimental. The hotel, housed in a neoclassical building, has recently undergone a facelift. It boasts 30 rooms and three suites with a highly original decor. There are luxurious fabrics, natural and pastel colours, cosmic elements, graphic patterns, lots of fringes and tassels and creative furniture that you don’t often see in five-star hotels. An artistic, hippie chic feel that is much appreciated. The boutique-hotel also offers Le Café Montesol, revisiting Mediterranean cuisine, and a rooftop decked out in a bold shade of red, overlooking the historic city. The best part? The restaurant and beach club are just twenty minutes from the address, in the heart of the island’s sandbanks and crystal-clear waters.
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay
Two kilometres north of the capital, facing Talamanca Bay, the Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay has over 150 rooms and suites. We love its bohemian chic decor, where wood, rattan and ceramics come together in shades of blue, beige and white. With breakfasts served at any time and lunches just as flexible, this is the perfect address for travellers living in the hustle and bustle of Ibiza. The pool terrace is a haven for both family fun and relaxing with a cocktail in hand. The rooftop comes alive several times a week thanks to the atmosphere created by the DJs. But before that, it’s off to the Nobu restaurant for Japanese dishes and the Chambao beach restaurant. The next day, a treatment at the hotel spa will be richly deserved.
