Height of indulgence, Ibiza luxury hotels 2017

The best hotels for glitz & glamour in summer 2017

featured in News & reviews Author Ana Hernández, Ibiza Editor Updated

The Mediterranean island of Ibiza has been the destination of choice for celebrities from all around the world for years, no wonder there is a whole host of luxury hotels to choose from on the island. The offer has increased in the last couple of decades, with more and more 5-star hotels opening their doors on the White Isle and on its little sister, the paradisiacal island of Formentera.

From glamorous city hotels to quirky boutique accommodation, secluded fincas and upmarket beach resorts with every service and facility you can think of, there is something for everyone in Ibiza. Here are some of our top picks for 2017.

Ibiza Gran Hotel, Ibiza Town double bedroom

Ibiza Gran Hotel, Ibiza Town

As the only 5-star grand luxury hotel on the island, you cannot really go any higher than Ibiza Gran Hotel. Its minimalist design creates the ideal setting for the collection of 365 works of art that hang from its walls (and ceilings!). These paintings and sculptures were commissioned to 28 artists and inspired by the five elements: water, earth, air, sky and life that dominate each of the hotel's floors. Inside, there are 157 spacious suites that open onto balconies or terraces offering picture-perfect views of the Mediterranean sea with the city's old town, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dalt Vila, as the backdrop. Ibiza Town's restaurants and bars are right on its doorstep, although you won't really need to step foot outside its walls as here you will find a 1300m2 spa, two outdoor pools and a selection of gourmet restaurants and bars. There is even a casino, where you can pretend to be James Bond before hitting Pacha, which is just across the road.

If the White Isle's infamous nightlife is what has drawn you to the island, the Sol House Mixed by Ibiza Rocks Hotel is your best bet. Not only will you be bang in the middle of the buzzing town of San Antonio, close to legendary nightclubs like Eden Ibiza, who are turning their residencies up a notch this summer to regain their crown as kings of SanAn's nightlife, but you won't even need to leave the hotel to experience Ibiza's clubbing crowds. A collaboration between luxury hotel chain Meliá and event organisers Ibiza Rocks, this contemporary hotel will put you in the party mood from the moment you cross its threshold thanks to their welcome pack filled with party essentials, curated playlists, daily pool and sunset DJ sessions, and free tickets to all the live concerts at Ibiza Rocks Hotel.

Ibiza's countryside is a hidden gem that deserves to be explored. The best way to do that is to base yourself in one of the island's charming finca hotels. Cas Gasi Hotel, nestled in the heart of a 4-hectare Mediterranean estate among orange, almond, fig, carob and olive trees, is a true away-from-it-all retreat. Restart mind and body in its chemical-free pools, jacuzzi, gym, and open-air yoga deck or enjoy their delicious Mediterranean cuisine made with organic produce grown on the hotel's grounds. Inside the 19th-century renovated country house, plush beds under crisp white canopies, Arabic tin lamps and elegant French furniture give its rooms a wonderfully opulent feeling.

Ibiza Bay Resort & Spa Hotel, Talamanca balcony

New this summer, the 5-star Ibiza Bay Resort & Spa Hotel will open its doors on June 30th right on the shores of Talamanca Bay. They promise that all the rooms will make you feel like you're standing right on the beach, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Mediterranean and a soft palette of white, gold and aqua blue that will transport you outside to the golden sandy stretch of Talamanca beach. All within just a 15-minute walk from Ibiza Town.

La Posidonia & Cataratas Suspendidas Spa, San Miguel spa area

Hacienda Na Xamena Hotel, San Miguel

Boasting the island's most spectacular spa, Hacienda Na Xamena Hotel is the quintessential destination for a relaxing holiday in Ibiza. Reset your body and mind while soaking in the hotel's 8 heated pools, perched upon a cliff 180 metres above the Mediterranean in Ibiza's north-west coast. Its romantic rooms, gourmet cuisine and wide range of facilities including a tennis court, outdoor and indoor pools, gym and games room mean that you won't even have to leave the resort during your de-stressing break here.

Gecko Hotel, Formentera exterior

Gecko Hotel, Formentera

Considered the last Mediterranean paradise, the small island of Formentera becomes a celebrity refuge in the summer. International A-listers like Giorgio Armani, Olivia Palermo, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell or Valentino flock to Formentera every year attracted to its crystalline waters and peacefulness, no wonder there are some stunning luxury hotels on offer here! Overlooking Migjorn beach, the 4-star Gecko Hotel has undergone extensive renovations this winter to convert its rooms into chic Mediterranean suites with huge windows that let in the sea breeze. At its exclusive beach club, you'll be able to enjoy delicious local cuisine with your toes in the sand or just stretch your muscles at one of their daily beach yoga lessons.
