Best Design Hotels in Ibiza

Six Senses Ibiza offers guests an all-encompassing experience that is rooted in the local culture, and celebrates music, art, sustainable fashion, wellness and spirituality – all characteristics that have become synonymous with the island. Set on the crystalline Cala Xarraca, the hotel comprises 116 guest accommodations in the form of townhouses, pool suites and beachfront caves. The spa expands over 1,200 square meters and offers a range of pioneering treatments, and the range of activities; such as yoga, SUP, mountain biking, cooking will suit every level of energy. Organic, seasonal and responsibly sourced ingredients are served in every restaurant and are crafted into delightful dishes by Celebrity Chef and founding father of new Israeli cuisine, Eyal Shani. Guests will feel truly relaxed and organically rejuvenated after their stay at Six Senses Ibiza.

Nobu Ibiza Bay amplifies the pleasures of Ibiza and makes for an unforgettable resort destination. It’s all here; island relaxation with Instagram-worthy seafront swimming pools with beachside daybeds; a dedicated family pool, as well as a kids club with certified childminders; gastronomy that includes the Balearic’s first Nobu restaurant, the ‘Say BiBo’ summer pop-up by Dania Garcia, and Mediterranean flavours at the hotel’s Chambao restaurant – oh and a vibrant bar scene too. Expect great wellness facilities too, with a Six Senses Spa, a new gym, and a dedicated wellness area for meditation, yoga and more. There’s even a John Frieda salon. Despite the temptations keeping guests on the resort, Talamanca Bay has some lovely Spanish restaurants and bars, and one is so close to all the vibrancy (and history) of Ibiza Town.

BLESS Hotel Ibiza brings together curated elements for a hedonistic white island experience. Think spectacular infinite pools;  a breath-taking beach-club style roof-top bar; destination gourmet dining (including Etxeko Ibiza by 10 Michelin star chef Martín Berasategui); cool DJ sets, theatrical performers and live entertainment; a full-service spa; and indulgent guest rooms and suites that invite stylish selfies and envy-inducing Instagrams. BLESS Hotel Ibiza is most certainly one of the best luxury hotels on the island!

Encapsulating the image of Baleriac bliss, Ca Na Xica is a vision of secluded loveliness. Drawing its inspiration from the heart of historic Ibiza, Ca Na Xica is set apart from the bustle of Ibizan nightlife in the sanctuary of the countryside. Ca Na Xica has a tick for every box, meaning that the hotel provides a one-stop retreat for those who want to do nothing more than relax. A particular architectural theme of the hotel is to blend the indoors with nature, which is achieved by open glass panels and quiet enclaves, allowing the natural sounds and scents to flood the lightly enclosed spaces.

With interiors akin to the kinds of superyachts that come and go from the adjacent marina, NH Collection Ibiza is a little alternative (by Ibizan standards) and very trendy. 38 rooms come with Bang & Olufsen speakers, Illy coffee machines, Balearic-sourced Ayurvedic essential oils and Dead Clean bath products. At the heart of the resort is a triangular saltwater pool; a challenge for lengths, but a triumph for Instagramming, a cocktail in the hand and designer sunnies on the head. Izakaya has a bohemian edge and serves Peruvian-Japanese fusion food, including sushi and Sakana small plates, while The Butcher restaurant does a mean Aberdeen Angus beef burger and serves drinks till well after sunrise.

While many flock to beachside resorts in Ibiza, the Hotel Mirador de Dalt Vila offers a very different perspective on the island. The 19th-century property is a former Lord’s manor house, tucked into the walled city of Dalt Vila, a Unesco World Heritage site. It was only recently transformed from a residential home into a hotel, with 12 guest rooms located in the main house and in an annex (book the former for original features such as beamed ceilings and wrought iron balconettes). The terrace provides stunning views over the harbour, there’s a fine dining intimate restaurant overlooking the plaza (all meals are served here) and an outdoor plunge pool to cool off in the Balearic heat.

This 5 star Ushuaia Beach Hotel is synonymous with the best music and clubbing on the island, in fact, it’s the hotel that defined the Ibiza party scene. Located just 15 minutes from the airport at Playa d’en Bozza beach, this adults-only hotel offers 415 luxury rooms and suites across The Ushuaïa Club and Ushuaïa Tower. The resort has three outdoor pools, with sun loungers and Bali beds while the three on-site restaurants mean you never have to leave the resort. One of the key benefits of staying at the hotel is that guests gain free access to the live DJ performances hosted by the hotel and if you want the ultimate clubbing experience, their Front Row Rooms offer front-row views of the DJ arena. This is the ultimate luxury hotel for those seeking one of the best clubbing experiences on the island.

This brand’s fun and youthful vibe fits perfectly into island life. The 162-bedroom W hotel has a chilled barefoot feel by day and a party atmosphere after dark. Its Lounge, set at the heart of the property, has been inspired by the amphitheatre design of the Old Town’s Dalt Villa. Glow is the oh-so-grown-up rooftop space for over 16s. And the WET deck creates a backdrop for dancing, swimming and drinking to the DJ’s beats. W’s Chiringuito Blue serves Mediterranean dishes, with the Beach by Ushuaïa offering a more casual ambience. Plug into the serenity of Ibiza’s natural environment at AWAY Spa.

Dedicated to ramping the getaway experience up a notch, Ses Piteras is dedicated to relaxation. Situated next to a glorious vista of beaches, Ses Piteras embraces minimalist design and twenty-first-century chique. Every detail has been taken care of, from an on-site spa to a rooftop terrace. Ses Piteras counters the long days of sunshine with soothing water, creating the perfect accompaniment to the warmth of Ibiza. The hotel is ideally situated for both relaxing and roaming and offers a welcoming return after nights of partying.

The boutique beachfront hotel has a serene and relaxed atmosphere, presenting guests with the perfect place to relax and re-energise. The modern vibe and elegant furnishings meet the demands of any discerning traveller and all rooms and suites offer an outdoor terrace or balcony. Its convenient location offers easy access to the beach and local points of interest whilst the hotel-organised activities include yoga, water sports, cycling, trekking, gym and outdoor pool – to name a few! Guests can enjoy a variety of relaxed and formal food and drink experiences in the restaurants and bars – all of which take inspiration from the Mediterranean combined with food cultures from around the world. Hotel Riomar is part of the Marriott Tribute Portfolio.
