Known for their philosophy of ‘barefoot luxury', this summer the high-end Six Senses hotel group has opened the doors to their brand new Ibiza outpost. Located in the tranquil north of the island, the prestigious Six Senses Ibiza Resort & Spa is nestled into the striking coastline just outside of Portinatx, overlooking the bay of Xarraca.
Spread across an 8-hectare estate, the luxury and family resort offers 116 seafront rooms, suites and caves, all boasting stunning sea and sunset views, sophisticated contemporary decor, and all the modern amenities you would expect from this world-famous brand.
The Six Senses motto is "hospitality begins with ingenuity", and this is evident in the variety of incredible facilities, including a spectacular pool area with beautiful views of the bay of Cala Xarraca.
Throughout the luxury resort, traditional Ibicencan architecture has been honoured by incorporating locally sourced materials to create a finca-style aesthetic with a modern finish.
Furthermore, the kitchen team will be championing the incredible local produce by using homegrown ingredients from The Farm at Six Senses Ibiza, a 400-year-old olive press and agricultural estate that has been converted to supply the resort's restaurants, café and bars.
There are three onsite restaurants that follow the principles of Six Senses: organic, nutritious and delicious. They are led by renowned international chefs, including the first restaurant in Europe by Eyal Shani, founding father of 'the new Israeli cuisine', HaSalon Ibiza, the resort's flagship eatery.
Other Six Senses Ibiza restaurants include Live Cave, a seafront eatery specialising in Mediterranean cuisine, proudly introducing a seasonal residence of the revered BONDST of New York at The Twin Bar in its inaugural year.
The Farmers' Market at the heart of the resort offers an elegant space with a variety of atmospheric culinary spots that include a juice bar as well as a range of gourmet options; from a menu of healthy dishes to a boulangerie, an organic and biodynamic wine cellar to a pizzeria with a wood oven.
Other fabulous amenities of the luxury resort include, of course, the signature plush Six Senses Spa facilities: a 1,200 sqm wellness haven spread over three floors with magnificent views of the sea.
A key part of the renowned hotel group's offering, the Six Senses Spa houses single and couple's treatment rooms, a steam room, hammam, infrared sauna and state-of-the-art fitness area.
Those who have been indulging in Ibiza's many temptations can rejuvenate at The Rose Bar through a range of healing and preventative longevity programs that combine diagnostics, bio-hacking, nutrition and beauty treatments. Yogis will love the impressive yoga deck, and there is also a dedicated boxing ring.
Sustainability and retaining the authentic spirit of the island are at the heart of the Six Senses Ibiza offering.
Impressively, Six Senses Ibiza is the Balearic Islands' first BREEAM [Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology] certified resort.
Neil Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Six Senses, says, “Sustainability is a huge part of our company ethos. And when you find a magical place such as Cala Xarraca, it's something that you work really hard to both showcase and respect. In the case of Six Senses Ibiza, this is what shines so brightly.”
Celebrating music, art, sustainable fashion, spirituality, wellness, and culinary exploration, the experiences and programming on offer reflect all the elements that make the White Isle so special.
Guest can enjoy immersing themselves in the resort's photography exhibition, curated in collaboration with Magnum Gallery, which features 400 images of renowned photographers. Furthermore, there is also a library, a boutique specialising in sustainable fashion, and even a recording studio.
A fabulous experience, with every last detail taken care of, awaits the discerning traveller at Six Senses Ibiza.
