15 Best Hotels in Ibiza, From Party Properties to Peaceful Retreats
The best hotels in Ibiza tend not to be just hotels. They’re elegant communes, agroturismo farmhouses, or hotels that double as house parties. The best addresses are hidden away, where the pace is slower, interiors are smarter, and hammocks are a mainstay. Farm-to-table dining, yoga retreats, and well-being programs are beloved buzzwords. The world’s big players have begun to make their mark on the islands too. Bento boxes are nibbled on bleached-wood sun loungers at the waterfront Nobu Ibiza Bay, set just behind Marina Botafoch. More recently, a sprawling Six Senses opened along northern Ibiza’s Cala Xarraca attracting international attention. And the reopening of Montesol Experimental has reinvigorated the old town.
Whether you seek the full infinity pool treatment or fancy hiding away in a whitewashed bungalow, there’s plenty to choose from. To guide you in the right direction we’ve selected the best hotels in Ibiza—in no particular order—including the latest openings and revamped places to stay.
How we choose the best hotels in Ibiza
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service—as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.

Georg RoskeOKU Ibiza
If there is a place where you can find inner peace and connect with yourself, that place is OKU Ibiza. This laid-back luxury retreat is a small paradise within a paradise, and the best place to discover (or rediscover) the so-called White Island: Think wabi–sabi–inspired design, two serene swimming pools, regular yoga sessions, and fusion cuisine. The hotel also has a privileged location that gives you access to the most beautiful beach spots on the island, from large and sandy shores to hidden small coves, as well as popular beach clubs and restaurants with sea views. —María Casbas

It’s now three years since Nobu Ibiza Bay opened, with a buzzy beachside locale that put lo-fi Talamanca on the map and a much-hyped Nobu restaurant christened by Robert de Niro himself. Nobu has integrated in a way that feels as organic as can be for a global super brand. Staff—arguably the best on the island—know guests by name and the deeply cocooning lobby bar buzzes in the thrilling way that hotel lobbies used to, with island residents dropping in for meetings, coffee, or a treatment at the Six Senses spa. The late-night Nobu Lounge is low-lit and discreet, with a select Nobu sushi menu and a speakeasy, members’ club vibe.
Bedrooms are airy and capacious, with subtly bohemian décor in blues and creams that complement the jaw-dropping sea (and sunrise) views of the craggy Illa Grossa peninsula and the headland of Cap Martinet. On the pool deck, well-behaved children disappear into the kids’ club for pirate and princess parties while grown-ups sip fresh watermelon juice, nibble on bento boxes, and dip their toes into the warm sand from billowing four-poster sunbeds. It’s all as barefoot and cosseting as you’d expect from the team behind Cliveden and the Marbella Club, whose Slim Aarons-esque, country club aesthetic can be felt at every turn.
Ibiza Gran HotelIbiza Gran Hotel
It’s almost 20 years since the Ibiza Gran Hotel opened in Ibiza Town’s marina glossy district, predating the area’s multi-million-euro revival by a decade. The waterside zone is now the island’s smartest hang-out and Ibiza’s original five-star hotel is still very much at its heart. Inside, the Ibiza Gran Hotel is a paradigm of serene luxury, with restrained, cream-on-cream interiors; a sweeping, art-filled lobby; and vast, airy suites—some with private plunge pools and extraordinary views across the harbor to UNESCO-protected Dalt Vila. Outdoors, two lagoon-like pools (one is adults-only) are fringed with plush daybeds, manicured lawns, and towering palm trees.
The hotel is part of an upscale demi-resort that includes a casino, an open-air rooftop Zuma restaurant, and Club Chinois, Ibiza’s slickest new nightspot. If the late nights take their toll (Lío, Pacha and Roto are also on the doorstep), then lazy breakfasts fuelled by an omelette bar and pancake station will help, as will cryotherapy and oxygen treatments in the high-tech Open Spa.
Six Senses IbizaSix Senses Ibiza
It’s an apt nod to Ibiza’s bohemian character that the 116-room Six Senses resort is hidden away on a hillside and accessed only by a winding dirt track. Make the journey and you’ll be welcomed with a shamanic smoke cleansing ceremony—just a whiff of the range of wellness classes and courses on offer. The theme here is rest, refuel, and reset, but at an exceptional level.
Interiors are muted, tactile, and sophisticated, with pale wood, leather, and stone. And while there are some rustic touches in keeping with the hotel’s earthy enclave, in reality, it’s a grown-up space that attracts an international crowd. Some stay for a while, waking up to terrace, pool, and sea views in a junior suite before meandering down to paddle-board from a ladder directly into the sea. And then some never leave—several Six Senses Residences are available to buy.

Like most special places in Ibiza, this agrotourism hotel is at the end of a red dirt road and opened with just a few hushed whispers. Surrounded by pineland and fragrant lemon and fig trees, this converted finca on the east coast in Santa Eulalia is part of the swing back to Ibiza’s rootsy days. The old farmhouse has kept its original bones with sloping lines, rocky plastered walls, exposed timber ceilings, and smooth concrete floors. The bedrooms and suites, converted from old stables, share the same rustic minimalism.
The pool, surrounded by plumes of bougainvillea, is lovely but it’s the primal wood-fire restaurant with its flames burning high in the open kitchen that really steals the scene. Spilling out to the garden, it has knockout views across the verdant forest with tables and rugs beneath thickly knotted carob and olive trees. Every now and then, there are art exhibitions, pop-up concept stores, and melodic acoustic evenings that go late into the night, powered by natural wine, mezcal, and a local in-the-know creative community keen to keep this understated hot spot to themselves. —Chloe Sachdev

On top of a cliff among verdant pine groves, this gorgeous hotel has spectacular views from every angle. The designers were clearly in no doubt about the key selling points—the signature restaurant, The View, is deserving of its definite article, with infinite sea vistas and seafood-led tasting menus. Elsewhere, sunset rituals at Cone Club are nothing short of ethereal. Sink into plush chairs, take in 270-degree views, and sip on mixologist-made concoctions as the sun casts ambers and oranges across the sky.
A holistic approach is adopted across the state-of-the-art wellness center, where deep tissue massages ease post-party muscle knots, facials enhance holiday glows, and yoga sessions are paired with nutritional coaching sessions for optimal results. As an all-suite resort, every room has a balcony or terrace. Suites are categorized according to their location, with the most exclusive options in the cliff area. Here, panoramic views, open-plan living spaces, and a home-from-home (but better) feel come guaranteed—some even come with expansive terraces decked with sun loungers and private pools.

Originally opened in the 1930s, this was the island’s first proper hotel and much-loved hang-out for locals. Sitting pretty with its iconic limoncello neo-colonial façade, the interior is like a grown-up doll house, decorated in pastel hues, whimsical furniture, and a collage of patterns, fringes, statement pompoms, and colorful rugs. In the wrong hands, this playful aesthetic would simply be a hashtag, but here, everything is cleverly counterbalanced with classic details like parquet flooring, white walls, light wood, and white linens.
The rooms—all vary in size and views—have all the creature comforts of a smart hotel with king-size beds, espresso machines, fluffy robes, and large rain showers. It draws a crowd of trendy city-breakers, keen to explore the shops, bars, and cobblestones of Ibiza Town and avoid the bug-eyed party dwellers. Come sunset, they’ll be sipping mezcal margaritas on the hard-to-beat rooftop, which offers uninterrupted views of the town, castle, and sea. —Chloe Sachdev
Ana LuiAtzaró Agroturismo Hotel, Ibiza
When it opened in 2004, this 24-bedroom working agriturismo kicked off the farm-to-fork ethos on the island. Now, the rural movement is booming and Atzaró has evolved again, with an updated interior look that includes mother-of-pearl-inset doors, teak four-posters, polished terracotta tiling, and limewash—the traditional paint of the seven-generations-old family finca.
The hotel’s own grounds have expanded exponentially in recent years, with 32 acres of sprawling kitchen gardens peppered with pergolas and shady bowers where all the hotel’s organic vegetables are grown. Atzaró’s sustainability credentials have evolved too and the whole hotel is now totally off-grid, with 200 solar panels and fresh well water powering the property. Guests drift from pool to pool (there are four, plus plunge pools in many of the suites across the road) and down to the spa for rigorous massages and hypnotic facials in the carved wooden treatment rooms, sound baths in the temples, and rosemary-scented steams in the hammam.

Ana LuiFinca Legado Ibiza
Everyone said it couldn’t be done but somehow Austrian owners Andreas Lackner and Andreas Oberkanins worked some wizardry and transformed the old Finca La Colina—in the hills outside of Santa Eularia—in just two months. The tiles of the turquoise-bright swimming pool have been painted anthracite grey, and the old wooden daybeds replaced by bespoke mattressed platforms jutting out above the water. The seven re-done rooms (two more to follow) are cool, with original foot-thick walls keeping the searing high-summer sun out and olive-tree beams on show wherever possible. Lackner designed the fabric for the spaces himself (artichoke wallpaper, screen prints of antique embroidery, and scans of delicate old lace are all reimagined as headboards and cushions).
The winter sitting room is full of curiosities, gifts from friends (a painting of a Ken-doll torso), as well as knobbly lemon vases and knick-knacks from the inimitable Sluiz interiors warehouse down the road. This is a hotel as a house party.
Liselore ChevalierLos Enamorados, Ibiza
This white-washed former hostel sits atop a row of blue-painted fishermen's huts, tickled by the gentlest of waves. The sprawling waterside terrace acts as bar, restaurant, and sun deck for guests—the type of well-traveled 30-somethings who have been told about this hotel's extraordinary mid-century-tropical aesthetic. Portinatx is a fishing village at heart, and the menu of fish tacos and seared pulpo relies heavily on the local catch.
The hotel interiors are a collage of color, texture, and artful precision—each bamboo chair in just the right spot, each slatted line of shade falling just so. Off a long, open-sided corridor are nine jewel-colored bedrooms, where pile rugs and raffia wall hangings create a throwback-motel vibe. Rooms— which are on the small side but with private sea-view balconies—are decked out with burnt-orange curtains, cornflower-blue tiles, and huge triple-mattress beds.
JF WiensHotel Riomar, Ibiza, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Debauchery and international DJs await just a short journey away, although the emphasis is on wellness here—at least until the sun goes down. Complimentary yoga sessions ease tanned vacationers into their mornings before groups set off on hiking tours. All that stretching and striding can cause aching muscles, so it’s a good job the pool deck acts as the ultimate crash pad for lazy afternoons.
The building is a mid-20th-century gem. Interiors are classically minimalist—whites, creams, and earthy tones are a calming antidote to some more recent openings that cater to Instagram-and-go crowds. At Ocean Brasserie & Bar, the laid-back hangout favored by locals and visitors, breakfasts are devoured by guests after morning activities. Meanwhile, TRIBE—one of the island’s coolest destination bars—is home to sunset sessions.
Petunia IbizaPetunia, Ibiza
Petunia’s savvy owners got it right when they bought and redeveloped a clutch of 1970s coastal apartments with incredible views. No matter how many times you see it, the nearby Es Vedra—shearing out of the water with all her 1,300 feet—makes your heart skip a beat, and it is the view of the rock that dominates Petunia. But look away you must, because Petunia itself is so extraordinarily pretty, with rustic, casita-style bedrooms and suites scattered through sprawling, lavender-scented grounds and a stately central finca where a cozy boutique, bar, and restaurant thrum with doe-eyed lovers (Petunia is adults-only and couples make up the majority of guests).
The vibe here is unapologetically relaxed and guests wear bikinis and bedroom slippers to float from suites to the pool, where they’ll spend endless hours reading novels and sipping rosé beneath the shade of a Panama hat. Bedrooms themselves are supremely comfortable and tiled bathrooms, some with sunken tubs, are capacious. Three restaurants—one upscale with a tasting menu, a pizzeria, and a panoramic rooftop crudo bar—leave guests with few excuses to leave.
Can SastreCan Sastre, Ibiza
Ten minutes from cool Santa Gertrudis, Can Sastre describes itself as an agriturismo. While there isn’t much sign of farm life, this five-room hotel feels like you’re stepping into the home of owner Bibi and her husband Ray. Their beautiful blonde children dash about (silently) underfoot in towel capes while their parents will help with supper reservations but otherwise leave you completely unhassled. The Dutch couple bought and revamped the space in the summer of 2018 and the white finca exteriors are draped in bougainvillea with hammocks slung in shady corners. In the bedrooms, things are simple, with whitewashed walls and wicker baskets alongside palm-fringed lampshades. There are organic Meraki lotions from Denmark in the bathroom, which you can also buy to take home from the hotel boutique.
At sundown, help yourself to an enormous glass of blush rosé at the poolside bar and order the edamame doused in salt. Things here feel homespun and instantly relaxing—it’s as good a spot to hide entirely from the rest of the island as it is a launchpad from which to explore Ibiza’s farm-to-table restaurants, beach clubs, or mega-club scene. —Tabitha Joyce
The Standard IbizaThe Standard Ibiza
The opening of The Standard, Ibiza on the main square of buzzy Ibiza Town signalled the growing appetite for sophisticated stays in this lively and cobbled-stone part of town. Frequented by the jet-set music industry crowd, you might be having a late dinner next to a DJ about to hit the decks at a nearby club or hanging out with fashionable locals having discreet meetings on the sun-drenched rooftop.
The bright-white hotel in its clean-cut neutral colours feels like a tranquil but cool city escape. There are deeply comfortable rooms for various types of travellers, from the neat and small-ish to the sprawling suites and mammoth plush private residence around the corner. During the day in Jara, the street-level restaurant and bar, it’s a tranquil haven with guests drinking cortados and tapping on keyboards before heading upstairs to the rooftop to enjoy zesty poolside cocktails under pretty parasols and sprawling views across the town. As the sun sets and the Balearic beat starts to hum, a sultry mood takes over. It’s the kind of place where sundowners lead to dinner and dinner to late-night suppers. This is a well-balanced and perfectly placed hotel for the traveller who wants a bit of buzz in the centre of town without being catapulted into the heaving thumping scene.
Pikes IbizaPikes Hotel
Mention Pikes Hotel and images of flamingo pink tennis courts, terraces that tumble onto each other, and never-ending parties come to mind. Wham's ‘Club Tropicana’ video was shot here and Freddie Mercury stayed so often that they named a suite after him. Opened in the late 1970s by legendary hedonist Tony Pike, it's been in the hands of trusted party legends Ibiza Rocks for some time now. Careful to keep its rock n’ roll spirit alive, eight of the original bedrooms have been revamped into smart garden suites, giving some much-needed comfort to the louche party pad.
Each of the finca-style rooms has been designed as a retreat but stays true to the Pikes spirit with quirky and eclectic stylings. Expect gold basins, funky wallpaper, and ample outdoor space, each with a wooden-clad bathtub—some with enough room for four. The glam-up also includes mini Smeg fridges, Aesop bath products, Bluetooth speakers, silk kimonos, GHD hair straighteners and dryers, and super king beds. —Chloe Sachdev
