Ibiza

Hotels:

Ibiza Gran Hotel - Luxury, located in Marina Botafoch - close to the island’s best restaurants, marina, clubs (Pacha is across the street), and shops. Rooms are sleek, the pool scene is elevated, and there’s a Michelin-starred restaurant (La Gaia) on-site. Perfect if you want refined luxury right in the action.

Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay - Chic, right on Talamanca Beach and walking distance to Marina Botafoch. The vibe is high-end but laid-back - great restaurants (Nobu, naturally), beachy interiors, and a crowd that’s stylish but relaxed. Ideal if you want to go out at night and decompress by the sea & pool during the day.

Atzaró Agroturismo – My yearly go-to; inland, quiet, peaceful, beautiful gardens and spa. Amazing garden-to-table concept - they grow their own organic produce right on the property for their restaurants.

Ibiza Corso Hotel & Spa – Ideal location near the marina, shopping, and has views of the old town

Mondrian Ibiza - near Marina Santa Eulalia (about 25 mins from old town area) offers a retreat with beach access and two pools, stylish newly reburbed hotel rooms. Cute, quiet little beaches and local restaurants in the area

Villas – Perfect for groups; private pools, countryside views, or beachfront options (if you want to go out a lot, don't be too far away from things as its a pain to get around if you don't have a driver.)

Restaurants:

La Oliva – Old town classic, buzzing at night

Casa Maca – Chic and rustic, great for sunset & late dinners

Jul’s – Modern Mediterranean, fun for group dinners

Aubergine – Calm and cozy countryside spot

El Chiringuito – Beachfront, laid-back and stylish, great for lunch

Best Places to Go Out in Ibiza:

Pacha - The classic Ibiza club - iconic, glamorous, and right in Ibiza Town. Known for its cherry logo, big-name DJs, and a mix of music styles. The main room has house and techno, and the smaller rooms explore different vibes.

Ushuaïa - Open-air club in Playa d’en Bossa, famous for daytime parties that go into the night. Top djs, If you want the full Ibiza festival energy, this is the place.

Hï Ibiza - Next to Ushuaïa, super-modern and stylish club with top international DJs.

DC-10 - Underground, gritty, and world-famous for its Circoloco parties on Mondays. If you want authentic Ibiza underground techno and house, this is the spot, no frills, just great music and crowd.

Lío Ibiza - Dinner and cabaret before the party, right on the marina in Marina Botafoch. Glamorous and theatrical, it’s a good choice if you want a show and a night out all in one place.

Best Beaches in Ibiza:

Cala Comte: One of the most beautiful on the island, crystal clear water, rocky coves, and incredible sunset views. Gets busy, so go earlier in the day or stay for sundown drinks at Sunset Ashram.

Cala Jondal: Chic and social. This is where you’ll find Blue Marlin Ibiza, so expect a beach club scene, music, and people watching. Pebbly shore but loungers and service make it luxe.

Cala Bassa: Calm turquoise waters and a mix of families and younger crowds. Good beach club (CBbC), soft sand, and easy swimming.

Las Salinas (Ses Salines): Long stretch of sandy beach backed by pine forest. Slightly bohemian, popular with locals and DJs. Great for walking, beach bars, and a relaxed atmosphere with energy.

Es Cavallet: Just past Las Salinas - wide open beach with dunes, a gay-friendly area, and cool spots like El Chiringuito for a long lunch and people-watching.

Benirràs: Best known for its Sunday sunset drum circles. Smaller beach with a chill, spiritual vibe and beautiful rocky surroundings.

Aguas Blancas: On the northeast side, more local, cliffside beach with a wild, natural feel. Less crowded and more laid-back. Known for early morning swims and nudist-friendly areas.

Cala Xarraca: Small, postcard-perfect cove in the north. Great for snorkeling and has a raw, untouched feel. Rent a paddleboard or just float in the clear water.

Sa Caleta: Surrounded by red cliffs and ancient ruins. Not huge, but the backdrop is stunning, and the water is clear. Great for a quiet afternoon.
