Ibiza's five-star hotels are something quite special. All of our selection is inspired by the island, with each hotel revealing a different side of what Ibiza is about. We have included hotels to enjoy a deeply relaxing break away to ones where the party is the star or the haven to escape to after one.
All offer pure unadulterated luxury and each one is special in its own way. Many include a spa, which could be the new way to holiday and all of them have world-class food offerings to a level not normally seen in five star accommodation. You'll need to read on to identify the one that speaks to you most. We are sure you'll find it.
Take a look at our full selection of five-star and four-star Ibiza hotels across the island to find your ultimate luxury holiday abode.
ME Ibiza Hotel
Santa Eulalia
Beachside glamour is stylishly expressed at the ME Ibiza Hotel, set in a stunning location for the smart party set. Design is sleek and modern from the hip and sweeping pool area, to the modern rooms and the modish rooftop. Natural, soothing materials are splashed about, such as in the lobby and in the restaurant. If you want to chill out during the day and enjoy the island at night, this is the place to be with late night shenanigans rewarded with a late-served, stonking breakfast. Airport transfers are by sparkling white Range Rover.
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay
Talamanca
As you enter Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay and see the elegant lobby and sparkling pool area - one of two - you know this is a very special kind of hotel, a true luxury home-from-home. There's a spa, John Frieda hair salon, a wealth of places to eat and drink with famous Nobu restaurant, a super-food-driven café, beach restaurant chiringuito and poolside bars, including a juice bar. Here, you choose the holiday you want. A colour palette of golds and blues twinned with natural materials extend everywhere, including in the spacious rooms and suites, most of which have eye-popping views of the sea beyond. A real treasure of a hotel.
7Pines Kempinski
Cala Conta
More resort than hotel, the 7Pines Kempinski has everything you might want from a holiday, without having to leave the place you're staying in. An excellent spa that will treat you from top to toe and threre's a delightful main pool area, plus gorgeous suites from Ibizan-village-style to family-friendly ones. All this with amazing views of the rock of Es Vedrà. Breakfast is enjoyed in the Cone Club, which also offers other more laid-back meals with The View fine-dining restaurant serving lunch and dinner too. Take to the ocean in the utmost style on one of its Pershing yachts.
Hacienda Na Xamena
Puerto de San Miguel
High-end luxury in a stunning natural environment, where elegance is everywhere with sea views that make your jaw drop - that is Hacienda Na Xamena. Ibiza's first five-star hotel is beautifully and originally designed, has three pools with acres of space to unwind and a spa that offers superbly top-drawer treatments. Try the miraculous outside cascading pools to supercharge mind and body. All rooms have jacuzzis; suites have their own hammam and some have private mini-pools. No surprise that the Eden restaurant serves dazzling dishes of quality and freshness and is led by a chef that earned two Michelin stars.
Five Flowers Hotel & Spa
Formentera
Formentera's only five star, the Five Flowers Hotel & Spa has one of the jazziest designs around, from the outside in, with flowers in every guise in the decor. Its rooftop cocktail bar gives 360-degree views of the island and everyone wants to sink into its glass-walled jacuzzi. Its spa has a buffet of treatments, there's a Japanese restaurant and a slew of services. You are moments from the beach and the centre of the Es Pujols resort, the island's summer epicentre. If you don't want to lift a finger - few on this island want to - go here.
Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel
Playa d'en Bossa
Not one but two hotels make up the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, especially for party people who can choose rooms overlooking the famous club or in the quieter “Tower” next door. Rooms have an almost salacious sinner style of opulence, with some offering swim-up pool access, in-room clear-glass baths or jacuzzis on the balcony. You'll even find a suite with DJ decks. Food offerings come in many shades from a first-rate steakhouse, Japanese eatery, two beach clubs and an oyster and caviar bar. Anything can happen at this truly remarkable hotel.
