Stay Amidst Nature and Find Serenity in Ibiza

One of the reasons I love Ibiza is its beautiful architecture! Many buildings feature whitewashed walls with colorful window frames, typical of countries along the Mediterranean coast. Ibiza's traditional architecture builds on this, incorporating a unique, somewhat oriental atmosphere that hints at its past under Islamic rule.



For your stay in Ibiza, we recommend an agroturismo! Many of these are traditional Ibizan farmhouses, centuries old, renovated with modern luxury. They often serve dishes made with fruits and vegetables harvested from their own gardens. Staying in a building set alone amidst vast grounds means you can spend your nights gazing at countless stars in the profound darkness. And the best part? This idyllic, eco-friendly place is just a 10-minute drive from the bustling town center – another wonderful aspect of Ibiza (laughs).



Another recommendation is the "Hotel Hacienda Na Xamena." Already featured in various media as a luxury hotel perched on a cliff, this place is truly exceptional! Located in northern Ibiza, reached via a narrow mountain road, this hotel boasts rooms, a spa, and a restaurant all facing the sea, offering daily enjoyment of the stunning sunsets over the water.



The cuisine is also exquisite, with a chef who honed their skills at a three-star restaurant creating special dishes that highlight the flavors of locally sourced ingredients. "Hotel Hacienda" is a truly special place where you can experience Ibiza's nature with all five senses. Even if you're not staying, you can still enjoy the spa or the restaurant bar, so be sure to savor the spectacular views when you visit Ibiza!



While relaxing stays amidst nature are recommended for those visiting Ibiza, there are also many convenient, high-tech hotels. In recent years, there's been a movement to transform Ibiza from a club island to a resort island, with national regulations reportedly allowing only the construction of five-star hotels. Stylish and modern hotels, reminiscent of Paris, New York, or London, are now appearing in abundance.



Among these, the "Gran Hotel," a massive high-tech hotel located near Ibiza Town and right next to the popular club PACHA, is particularly noteworthy. Contemporary art by Spanish artists is displayed throughout the property, and all rooms offer terraces with views of the World Heritage site, Dalt Vila. Its comprehensive facilities are also well-suited for business use, such as conferences. This hotel plays a significant role during the annual "Ibiza Music Conference" held every May.



We've introduced some hotels that we highly recommend you visit during your time in Ibiza, but there are still many wonderful places we haven't had a chance to cover. We encourage you to discover your own favorite spot on this small island. The album we're highlighting this time is "Atzaro Sound Scape Vol.1," a perfect accompaniment to an elegant hotel stay.
