Es Vedra is a dramatic 382-metre sea stack of sheer white limestone rising from the sea off the southwest coast of Ibiza, shrouded in myth and legend as one of the world's most magnetically charged locations. The best view is from the Cala d'Hort beach at sunset, when the rock glows amber against a violet sky and the ritual of the Ibicenco sunset gathering draws visitors from across the island. Hotels near Es Vedra and Cala d'Hort provide a peaceful, mystical counterpoint to the island's famous clubbing culture.
Robert De Niro's ultra-stylish Nobu brand on a private bay north of Ibiza Town, with an exceptional beach club, pool terraces, the famous Nobu restaurant, and 152 rooms with sea views. One of the most polished luxury hotels on the island and a genuine culinary destination.
A clifftop luxury resort above Cala Conta on the island's spectacular western coast, where rooms and infinity pools are cantilevered over some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. The sunset views from the Infinito restaurant are among the most dramatic in Spain.
A sophisticated five-star resort in the quieter Santa Eulalia area with an award-winning spa, rooftop pool, and beautifully designed rooms and suites facing the marina. Far enough from Ibiza Town's intensity to feel serene, close enough to visit easily.
A lovingly preserved Ibicencan farmhouse in the island's agricultural interior, offering 14 rooms and cottages set among vineyards and terraced gardens with a pool and outdoor kitchen for cooking classes. The antithesis of the superclub image and enormously restorative.
A design-forward hotel on the Santa Eulalia waterfront with a spectacular modernist makeover, beach club, roof terrace, and beautifully designed rooms drawing on Ibiza's Phoenician and hippy heritage. One of the most photogenic hotels on the island.
The only hotel within the UNESCO-listed medieval citadel walls of Dalt Vila, offering eight suites in a converted 16th-century palace with panoramic views over the harbour, whitewashed alleys at the door, and a sense of authentic historic Ibiza utterly removed from the island's modern reputation.
