What area of Ibiza is best to stay in?
Despite being a relatively small island (you can drive end to end in just over an hour), Ibiza has several distinct areas. Each of these ‘neighbourhoods’ has a personality of its own and attracts a different crowd. Party goes should focus their search on San Antonio and Ibiza town, where you're well placed for late night adventures. If you're a part time reveller, part time relaxer, the countryside of San Josep offers greenery in abundance as well as easy access to beaches, clubs and restaurants with plenty of privacy. The north of the island is the island's quiet zone, where life slows down and wellness rules the roost. This is where to go for sunrise yoga on the beach and hikes that end in dips in crystal clear water. For family friendly stays, look to Santa Eulalia. For stays slightly off the beaten path, consider Ibiza's baby sister, Formentera. It has all the magic of Ibiza, but takes life at a slower pace.

The best hotels in Ibiza 2025
1/12Casa Maca
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Those looking to experience the best of both the island's worlds.
Paint the picture: Casa Maca is perhaps the quintessential Ibicencan hotel. Set in the hills behind Eivissa's centre, the 300-year-old farmhouse is now a laidback bolthole within easy reach of all the island's offerings.
Design notes: If your idea of holiday heaven features crisp linens, natural materials and brilliant vistas, then Casa Maca is where to head. Each room looks out across Dalt Vila and the Med, which perform a kind of 'sun and moon' handover, taking turns to sparkle in the night and day respectively.
Privacy is a given at this hotel, with each of the ten rooms offering a terrace and mini lawn, so if you want to sunbathe on your own turf you can. Oh, and the rooms are scented with Byredo's ‘Treehouse’ scent which makes the stay brilliant in, and for, every sense.
Why stay here: This spot is just as good for those wanting to ‘dance the night away’ like Dua Lipa, as it is for those who want total zen. The poolside crowd is a balanced mixture of fitness fanatics and people nursing a hangover, so whatever your plans are in Ibiza the hotel can cater to them.
What's around: From the entrance of Casa Maca you're not more than 15 minutes from the bottom of Dalt Vila, the island's historic town centre – but you wouldn't know it. Sure, you sometimes get a helicopter or two flying over, but Casa Maca is a sanctuary in easy reach of much of the island's offering.
Don't miss: The hotel's breakfast (if you're up in time.)
Food and drink: Perhaps unusually, Casa Maca might be better known for its restaurant than its hotel. Most of the ingredients used in their dishes are grown in the hotel's vegetable garden, with meats smoked and cooked over an open flame grill.
Local recommendations: Café Montesol for roof top drinks in Dalt Vila, Zitya for dinner and Cova Santa for fun.
Can Palau De Dalt, s/n, 07800 Ibiza, Islas Baleares, Spain
2/12Los Enamorados
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Neo hippies, haute bohemians and sea babies.
Paint the picture: Nestled in a tiny cove in Portinatx, Los Enamorados plays an exciting role in the quiet north of the island. Designed by Pierre Traversier and Rozemarjn de Witte, the creative duo set out to create a romantic, comfortable atmosphere without pretension.
Design notes: The nine room hotel is carved out of old fishermen's houses and sits right on the sea's edge. It has achieved the impossible of being drenched in colour and yet aligned with the Balearic aesthetic. Each room is different, an eccentric and eclectic mix of sun bleached linens, rainbow tiles and achingly beautiful ocean views.
Why stay here: This is a place for beach hopping, swimming, and relaxing on loungers underneath palm frond parasols. There are plenty of brilliant restaurants around, but you'd be remiss not to rent a car.
What's around: The north is the most remote area of Ibiza, so Los Enamorados isn't an ideal base for those looking to head out and about each evening. Roughly 15 minutes walk away is the 18th-century Torre de Portinatx, one of the remaining defensive towers that line Ibiza's coastline. In the other direction, you'll find the Moscarter Lighthouse. It's pleasant walk, and there are options to extend it around the Portinatx coastline. Check the Ibiza.travel hiking guide for more information on that.
Don't miss: Take out the hotel's paddleboards and kayaks, and explore the surrounding coastline.
Food and drink: This is just as much a destination restaurant as it is a hotel. We prefer lunch here, where the freshest fish and seafood tacos are the very best thing on the menu. Patrons are seated on the terrace, with the waves gently lapping against the wall below.
Local recommendations: The north is slightly less spoilt for choice when it comes to dining, but the beaches you get are quiet enclaves that feel like paradise. We like Cala de Sa Ferradura best.
Ctra. Vénda de Portinatx, 103, 07810 Portinatx, Ibiza, Spain
Ana Lui / Condé Nast Traveller3/12Atzaró
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Those looking to stay in an elevated agroturismo.
Paint the picture: At the centre of a working orange farm, Atzaró set a precedent for a new wave of agroturismos when it opened in the quiet north-east of Ibiza in 2004. Close to the village of San Lorenzo, it sent whispers across the Balearics thanks to its farm-to-fork ethos, impressive spa and rambling gardens. While agroturismos were once a way for farmers to boost their income by renting out hastily converted outbuildings, this new breed is much more style conscious. Other than the occasional gardener at Atzaró, there is not much sense of this being a working farm, but it still somehow feels rooted in the valley. This is largely due to a recent overhaul, which replaced the 2004 Balinese theme with traditional Ibicenco elements.
Design notes: The 300-year-old finca, which houses the reception and seating areas, sets the tone for the rooms with polished terracotta floors, plaster walls and olive-wood ceilings. Of the 24 suites and rooms, the nicest are clustered around the finca and reached via a series of bougainvillea-adorned walkways. They are elegantly decorated with teak four-poster beds, crisp white sheets and carved wooden doors. Most have private outdoor seating areas and some a daybed. The suites, many of which have their own plunge pools, occupy modern finca-style buildings on the opposite side of the road. While more private, these do not have quite the same charm as those around the main house.
Why stay here: Part of the joy of Atzaró is that you could spend laidback lazy days just floating from one spot to another. The 40-metre lap pool is one way to work up an appetite, as are vinyasa-flow yoga or Pilates classes.
What's around: If you're inclined to explore, there are plenty of quiet beaches within easy reach. We recommend Cala Nova, a sandy swathe with plenty of restaurants and beach clubs to hang out at, or Cala Llenya, Nova's slightly quieter little sister. Slightly further afield you'll find Aguas Blancas, another beautiful spot.
Don't miss: A trip to Atzaró’s charming sister restaurant, Aubergine, which is only a 15-minute drive away. Go when it's bathed in golden light just before the sun goes down, and enjoy great, fresh food grown and cooked just moments away from your table.
Food and drink: Breakfast at La Veranda restaurant takes the form of an appealing buffet, and you can order eggs and hot dishes from the menu. Lunch and dinner are also served here, featuring fresh and flavoursome fare. The sliced Iberico ham is a delicious way to start and the burrata, on a bed of tomatoes, gloriously creamy. Finish with a tipple of Orangecello liqueur, which is made from the estate’s oranges.
Local recommendations: Hämbre, Aubergine and Nudo. All fantastic dining spots.
Atzaró Agroturismo, Carretera de San Juan, Km 15, 07849 Santa Eulària des Riu, Illes Balears, Spain
4/12Dunas De Formentera
Best hotel for: Taking life at a slower pace.
Paint the picture: The countercultural energy that makes Ibiza and Formentera so appealing thrums loudly as you step off the plane. It's present in the bijou shops and in the hidden coves, it's present in the impromptu parties that spring up on the beaches and it's present in the tanned locals who speed by in their Citroen Maharis. Yet here, at Dunas de Formentera, there's a quieter side of the Balearics to be discovered.
The hotel is the latest opening for the Marugal group. whose properties span the Balearics (there's Mallorca's Cap Rocat, Menorca's Torralbenc, and, also on Formentera, Gecko Beach House). Each has a focus on sustainability, making Marugal the perfect custodians for this special plot. Thanks to Formentera's fierce eco-protections that mean no new buildings can be erected on its dunes, Dunas has been created from existing properties on the island's beachfront. The sandy pathways aren't paved, there's no giant wall separating the hotel from the beach, and the whole property has the sprawling feel of a small village, rather than a hotel.
Design notes: Rooms are housed in creamy villas scattered across the dunes, where sandy tracks lead guests between the sea and their beds. They are private but not isolated. Neutral interiors allow for full focus on sweeping views of the island's greatest asset: its beaches.
Why stay here: This is a toes-in-the-sand destination like no other. It's perfect for feeling like you're in your own private paradise, with all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury hotel.
What's around: Formentera is a tiny jewel of an island (it's so small there are no traffic lights), so everything is on your doorstep. It takes between twenty to thirty minutes to drive to most restaurants or beach clubs, and the hotel are more than happy to organise transfers.
Don't miss: Just down on the beach, around two minutes from the hotel, you'll find a tiny kiosk, serving up cañas, Aperol spritzes and cold glasses of rosé. It's the perfect place to watch the sun go down.
Food and drink: The hotel has one restaurant, Caliu, which serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner with flair. Thanks to a changing menu and clever lantern use, Caliu feels different with every visit.
Local recommendations: Gecko's Beach Club a change of scenery, Juan y Andrea for a little fun.
Lugar Venda Ses Clotades 4449, 07872 Es Arenals, Spain
5/12Can Sastre
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Easy living in a rural spot.
Paint the picture: The feeling of tranquility the team at Can Sastre have fostered is quite possibly unmatched on the island. There isn't super service in the traditional sense, nor are there super amenities, but in their place there's a sense of familial care. It's a bit like staying at your slightly-whacky-but-quite-cool aunt's house.
Design notes: Just as one would hope in a rural agroturismo such as this one, the rooms are tastefully simplistic. Of the five rooms, some are casitas, others are suites, all are laidback spaces that work well as a base for an active holiday, or a one spent mostly on a lounger.
The communal spaces are rendered in a colour palette of soft grey, beige and off white, and the pool is set in a shady tree clearing.
Why stay here: The contemporary commune vibe of Can Sastre tends to attract a crowd of chatty, modern bohemians who have no qualms striking up conversation with their poolside neighbour. Between the seven rooms, honesty bar and the large, poolside breakfast table, guests get to know who's who in a matter of hours. It's the perfect spot for ex-backpackers and travellers who used to enjoy the ambience of a hostel, but are looking for something more upmarket now.
What's around: By foot, you won't find much on your doorstep, but that's not a bad thing. Can Sastre is right in the centre of the island, meaning by car everything is just a short trip away. The quiet coves of the north can be reached just as easily as the bustling town.
Don't miss: Breakfast cooked to perfection by the chef who comes into the hotel every morning.
Local recommendations: Juntos House, Aubergine and, slightly further afield, Portinatx Cove for a beach day. You'll find Los Enamorados restaurant there too.
Camino Viejo de San Mateo s/n, 07816 Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, Islas Baleares, Spain
6/127Pines Ibiza
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Laidback luxury with a killer view.
Paint the picture: Part of the distinguished Hyatt hospitality group, the 7Pines Ibiza resort boasts 5-star living from dawn ‘til dusk with multiple restaurants, pools and activities. Perched on a cliff edge overlooking the mystical mega-rock Es Vedrá, (said to be the third most energetically magnetic place in the world and placed on a ley line) the magic it casts is undeniable. Complete with an app to request room service, private cars, in-room treatments, baby-sitting service and a pets’ menu fit for a king, along with highly-attentive friendly staff, guests will be left wanting for nothing.
Design Notes: Like a sprawling village made up of white washed buildings, 7Pines is complete with winding paths bordered by native flora that make you feel more like you’re walking through the island’s countryside than a hotel. The apartments themselves are clean, modern and compact with a generous seating area that leads out onto a private outdoor space. Many of the rooms are perfectly positioned for some one-on-one time with Es Vedra and the sea view it sits in.
Communal areas are sleek and chic with a nod to Ibiza bohemia with a sporty edge. The outdoor areas and villa gardens were designed by Terravita, local sustainable landscape designers, who add a sense of balearic soul to the constructed surroundings.
Why stay here: Catering to various degrees of privacy and space, the resort offers something for everyone starting with accommodation in the form of apartments with balconies or private lawns and pools, to a villa complete with first story glass swimming pool. For your day-to-day, there is a gym and spa with a daily activity such as a hike or group class or one-on-one classes, treatments and sessions. If you have little ones, there is a well catered for kids club which one could easily never know about due to the fact it’s so tucked away.
With these elements combined, couples and families can live their own holiday experience without ever crossing paths- or dip between the two as and when.
What’s around: Thanks to 7Pines many amenities, guests could quite easily never leave the resort. For those wanting to explore, everything is a drive away including local beach Cala Conte, known for its scenery and epic sunsets. A tip - book taxis well in advance or have some back ups as drivers can be tricky due to the resort's seclusion. Better still, rent a car for total autonomy.
Don’t miss: The sunset ritual every night at the onsite Cone Club restaurant accompanied by a DJ set. A gong is hit just as the sun hits the waters edge signifying the start of the evening.
Food and drink: 7Pines is certainly not short of dining options with its three restaurants and two bars. This year, island-renowned chef Oscar Salazar has taken over the kitchen for the season, fusing local ingredients with an Asian twist. This is most noted in the Pershing Yacht Terrace, a place for experimental small plates and cocktails, along with the big star of the season, Nela, a dining concept brought together by Amsterdam flame-grill restaurant Nela and Oscar Salazar. For the more laid back amongst us, daytime diners can revel in ordering a 32-piece sushi board by the pool with a bottle of something chilled, or keep it real with a burger and chips! - Rémy Mishon

John Athimaritis7/12Six Senses Ibiza
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Escaping the crowd and delving into a sustainable wellness sanctuary in the secluded north.
Paint the picture: Driving along long winding roads facing magnificent vistas of the sea, Six Senses Ibiza appears like something out of a James Bond movie, a unique eco-retreat nestled into the rocks in the much-loved bohemian north of the island.
Design notes: Architect and developer Jonathan Leitersdorf is behind the no-expenses-spared eco-retreat, with a big focus on sustainable materials that celebrate its surroundings (it's the first sustainable BREEAM-certified resort in the Balearics). Think bamboo-clad roofs and local materials revealed through pale woods, leather and stone in neutral tones. The entire property is an ode to nature, with every part of it, from bedrooms to restaurants to the much-photographed infinity pool, making the most of the spectacular view over Xarraca Bay.
Why stay here: There's a reason this wellness retreat made it into the Top 50 hotels in the world list. It's utter bliss. From the sprawling 13,000 sq ft spa hosting treatments like cryotherapy and electromagnetic field therapy and multi-day retreats to the infinity pool and the rooftop yoga studio. But it's not all virtuous, as the sun sets, head to the Beach Caves for sundowners and live DJ sets. What's more, unlike some other Ibiza hotels, Six Senses is open all year round.
What's around: There's so much to experience on-site you might not even leave, from the glorious poolside to snorkelling at the hidden bay and no less than four spectacular restaurants. For those who do wish to venture off property, the village of San Juan is nearby where you'll find the famous Sunday ‘hippy market’ or organise a coastal hike or scuba diving session with the concierge.
Don't miss: Snorkelling is available on-site and a must-do. You can paddle around the point to next-door bay Cala Xuclar.
Food and drink: In true wellness style, Six Senses Ibiza is farm-to-table. They have their own organic farm in neighbouring Santa Gertrudis where they have an orchard with more than 600 fruit trees growing everything from apples and avocados to cherries and plums. It's unsurprising then that they tapped the tomato king, chef Eyal Shani to lead Meditteranean restaurant, North with a menu focusing on fresh hyper-seasonal vegetarian small plates, just-caught seafood, and prime Spanish meat dishes. The Beach Caves, with direct access to the beach, is a great place to toast the sunset with Latin American fare and agave-forward cocktails. - Tal Dekel-Daks
Carrer Camí de sa Torre, 71, 07810 San Juan Bautista, Illes Balears, Spain
8/12Montesol Experimental
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Old Town luxury with the best views in town
Paint the picture:
The Parisian Experimental Group know a thing or two about giving historic hotels a new – and thoughtful – lease of life, just look at Cowley Manor in Gloucestershire and the quirky Il Palazzo Experimental in Venice. Their Ibiza revamp is in one of the Spanish island's most coveted spots in Old Town, in a Unesco Property of Cultural Interest dating back to 1933. The vibe here is playful and trendy, and the biggest draw is its rooftop bar which acts as a great viewing platform for the square and the fortified walls of Dalt Vila below.Design notes:
Leaving the iconic butter-yellow neocolonial façade intact, designer Dorothée Meilichzon has created a kaleidoscopic interior filled with playful and sustainable design touches. Walls are embossed with seashell shapes, which were each pressed in by hand. The pastel hues and whimsical design touches are elegantly balanced with luxury and classic materials. The 33-bedrooms have wicker lamps, embroidered headboards and all of the creature comforts you'd expect like fluffy robes, espresso machines and a minibar.What's around:
You couldn't pick a more perfect spot for exploring the best of Ibiza's Old Town and Unesco World Heritage Site, Dalt Vila, by foot. The island's capital has plenty of restaurants, bars are on your doorstep. The ferry to Formentera is right there too. While super-clubs like Pacha are a walk away.Don't miss: Café Montesol's rooftop bar for excellent drinks with some of the best views across Ibiza's Old Town
Food and drink:
Café Montesol is a street-level restaurant with indoor and outdoor options all day. Sit outside to watch the world go by along Vara de Rey, the car-free square and one of the prettiest parts of town. The menu focuses on local dishes, with tapas and Spanish wines in the evening and a ‘para picar’ snacking menu in the day. The Rooftop Bar is an absolute must-visit for sundowners with views over the Dalt Vila.Local recommendations:
Passeig de Vara de Rey, 2, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Spain
From: £212 per night– Tal Dekel-Daks
9/12Sir Joan
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Partying at Pacha and having Dalt Vila on your doorstep.
Paint the picture: Picture a hotel in the Balearics and you'll likely conjure an image that includes pampas grass in terracotta pots, wooden furniture and crisp white bed linen. But that's not Sir Joan. Going against the grain, the 38 room hotel leans into all the glitz and glamour of the island's nightlife instead. It's all angles and reflective surfaces, and it's undoubtedly the sexiest spot on the island, both in terms of design and clientele.
Design notes: The rooms and suites, designed by Baranowitz + Kronenberg, take their cues from Ibiza's maritime heritage, marrying walnut wood floors with deep sea blues and walls that are clad in highly reflective pummelled steel that shimmers and glistens like the Med. Every room has a balcony – some even have two – though sadly the views couldn't be described as the best on the island.
Why stay here: A trip to Sir Joan is one for wide eyed revellers, more akin to a city break than a stay at a boutique bolthole. It's perfect for people looking for a base from which to explore the island, or short trippers who don't want to spend their whole mini break in a car. The service is nothing short of flawless, and nothing is too much for the Sir Joan staff, who learn your name in a matter of moments.
What's around: It's only a few minutes walk from Pacha in one direction, and a stone's throw from the old town in the other. We recommend heading into old town for an aperitivo just as the sun is setting. It's prime people watching hour, and you can enjoy a crisp caña as the world goes by. In the day, head to Salinas beach, where you can rent a sun bed for around €15 for the day.
Don't miss: Take the Sir Joan experience out and about with you in the form the Sir Joan boat.
Food and drink: Sir Joan is under no illusion that the majority of its guests are living for the night time. Breakfast is served until mid afternoon, and ranges from health forward chia pots and overnight oats, to the stodgy heft of Spanish tortilla and pan con tomate. The Sir Joan offering also includes hot breakfast dishes in the price, so you can stuff yourselves in the morning and it'll tide you over until lunch.
Local recommendations: Izakaya, the restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel, El Olivo in Dalt Vila, and Jul's. For beaches, head to Salinas.
Passeig Joan Carles I, 1, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears
10/12Hacienda Na Xamena
Best hotel in Ibiza for: A striking view and bohemian vibe in one of Ibiza's most famous hideaways.
Paint the picture: Perhaps the most iconic hotel on the island – though Pike's gives it a run for its money – Hacienda Na Xemena was Ibiza's first five star hotel.
Design notes: The hotel has kept its late Sixties, bohemian feel perfectly intact. In fact, as luxury hotels go, it could be accused of being rough – slightly dated light fittings and not the fluffiest of spa towels. If slickness in such details is your priority, then perhaps don't bother. But the hotel doesn't need this kind of slickness. Built down the mountainside, it sprawls from terrace to terrace, making each room feel private, and letting the resident get pleasantly lost, rather than being arranged, like a termite mound, around a lobby or pool.
Why stay here: Those looking for a full reset of body and mind should look no further. Hacienda Na Xamena is complete with tennis courts, pools, spa treatments, yoga classes and organised visits to their ‘organic patch’.
What's around: Set in Ibiza's north, there is nothing but beaches, good hikes and countryside bliss around this hotel. Starting from the hotel, you can walk down to Cala de Sa Ferradura, a strip of beach with crystal clear water on both sides. It takes around an hour, and you can add on the extra 15 minutes walk to Caló des Moltons, another pretty enclave.
Don't miss: The trump card of this hotel is the group of cascade pools that face on to that brilliant coastal mountain. There are seven or so pools, staggered so that mini waterfalls toss down from one to the other between the rocks. They are filled with seawater, and each offers a different form of bubble or jet, intended to massage different parts of the body.
Food and drink: A cool courtyard, decoratively tiled, is dominated by an impressive and ancient fig tree, and beautifully pickable grapes, brambles, olives and figs dangle within reach of almost every room or terrace. A kitchen garden grows onions, vegetables and edible flowers for the kitchen, and the staff serve with quietude and grace.
Local recommendations: Everything is a bit of a stretch from the secluded paradise of Hacienda Na Xamena. However, those willing to jump in a taxi, or hire car, will be richly rewarded. Aubergine is probably the closest restaurant we would recommend, Juntos House is a little further, but just as good.
Carrer na Xamena, 07815 Ibiza, Illes Balears, Spain
11/12Pike's
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Party people.
Paint the picture: Pike's needs little introduction, having been the star of Wham's 1983 Club Tropicana video and a popular celebrity haunt since its early days. Freddie Mercury stayed so frequently they named a suite after him.
Design notes: Think bright pink tennis courts, a rock and roll atmosphere and parties every night. The rooms have been recently revamped to better lend themselves to modern life, but the pool remains just as iconic as when George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley floated around in it.
Why stay here: There's no party quite like a Pike's party, but that doesn't mean that only hedonists can stay. Pike's brand new garden suites offer a hideaway within a hideaway, situated in the quietest area of the hotel, and come complete with private terraces. That said, we do think this hotel is better suited to those on a mission to enjoy the Ibiza nightlife as much as possible.
What's around: Pike's is located just outside San Antonio, a busy part of the island that offers all the attractions and amenities you could hope for. You're well placed to explore both the north and the west of the island, with beaches like Cala Gracioneta a short drive away. If you want to hire a boat, you'll find most of the rental companies are based in San Antonio, so Pike's is an ideal base for that too.
Don't miss: With big name DJs like FatBoy Slim, Goldie and Don Letts paying a visit to Pike's this summer, you'll be more inclined to have an evening ‘in’ than out.
Food and drink: Predominantly serving seasonal, locally sourced produce, the Pike's menu is a great example of Mediterranean cuisine. Pamela's restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, even serving up their famed Sunday roast on, well, Sundays.
Local recommendations: Hostel La Torre and Cala Gracioneta. Go to the latter for lunch, and then onto La Torre for dinner if you have a large appetite. Alternatively, just head to La Torre for one of their Tommy's margaritas. Juntos House is a must visit too.
Camino Savorera S/N, 07820, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, Spain
12/12The Standard
Best hotel in Ibiza for: Those looking to stay right in the thick of it.
Paint the picture: Those familiar with the global brand will know The Standard for its all night party attitude and hedonistic ways. Yet its Ibiza outpost is, perhaps surprisingly, the most laidback of all. Where Pike's, Ushuaia and Ibiza Rocks are all vying for the title of Ibiza's best party hotel, The Standard has taken a decidedly cooler approach.
Design notes: With sweeping views over Dalt Vila and the more modern part of Ibiza town, The Standard's roof top is the jewel of the hotel. Here, guests can while away the hours listening to thumping Balearic beats whilst dipping in and out of the 15 metre pool. Inside, each one of the 67 rooms and suites are pared-back, unfussy spaces. In the communal areas, a neutral palette dominates with colour brought in through art and sculpture.
Why stay here: For short stays on the white isle, The Standard shoots you right to the heart of things. Most places are accessible from the hotel, meaning you won't wats too much time in the car going from A to B.
What's around: The Standard is perfectly placed for exploring on foot, with the Old Town and marina right on your doorstep. Ideal for party goers, Pacha is just 15 minutes walk away.
Don't miss: The Standard's enviable events schedule changes the meaning of a ‘night in’. The terrace is where it's at come the evening, with a healthy roster of DJs playing sets into the night.
Food and drink: Located on Vara de Rey, the bustling square in Ibiza town, The Standard's main restaurant is a laidback spot for watching the world go by. Jara serves up typical Spanish and Mediterranean flavours, as well as burgers, steak and salads. Don't miss out on Jara's signature cocktails like lemongrass margaritas and ‘jaguar juice’, a tequila, hibiscus and cardamom agave blend.
