Serene Mediterranean luxury returns for 2023 with the re-opening of Ibiza Gran Hotel. This luxe five-star property on the marina has long been the ideal spot to immerse yourself in the White Isle's culture and glamour. Now from the start of April until the end of summer, guests seeking a more sophisticated Ibizan escape will find it here.
The hotel has 187 rooms and suites, each one a distinctive and elegant interpretation of island style: wooden furnishings, wicker accessories and a neutral colour scheme. You could book a loved-up getaway in the chic Luxe room, admire the views over the fortified city walls from the stylish Deluxe Suite, or opt for a private pool with the Superior Pool Suite. The most impressive options, however, are the four Gran Suites, all with outdoor terraces and private infinity pools, where you can unwind at your leisure with spectacular views over the sea and hills. With one, two or three bedrooms, these are the ideal option for families or groups who appreciate a little extra space.
Ibiza has always been a creative hub, and Ibiza Gran Hotel channels this spirit. It's the island's first – and only – art hotel, with over 400 site-specific works in situ. Many of the artists, such as painter Eduard Micus, have a connection to the Mediterranean, and their pieces bring a vibrant authenticity to the space. Guests can explore the collection in more detail on a guided tour. The island is also famously fashion-forward, and an on-site boutique stocks wares – including premium Italian linen – by small independent businesses to ensure you can step out in style. You can also book one of the hotel's curated shopping excursions, led by local fashion experts who'll help you find the perfect pieces.
Thanks to its unbeatable location on the island's buzzy marina, Ibiza Gran Hotel is the perfect base. Whether you're here for exhilarating water sports, scenic landscapes or electrifying nightlife, you'll be in the heart of the action without having to battle city-centre crowds. Staff can help you plan an itinerary of dolphin-watching, island-hopping and vineyard visits: or perhaps you'll simply prefer to lounge on the beach, taking breaks to dive into the glittering water, or else hike through the island's rocky exterior. If the idea of partying until dawn after a long day is too daunting, the hotel's evening offerings promise thrills without venturing far from your room. There's Club Chinois, which recalls the opulence of 1930's Shanghai with captivating entertainment and decadent design; or perhaps you'll end your night in the atmospheric Casino de Ibiza. This gorgeous space, designed by Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola, looks like a Bond film set and is a must-visit whether you take to the tables yourself or simply watch the action. Add a mid-morning treatment at the spoiling Open Spa next day to revitalise and refresh and you'll really be on to a winner.
Ibiza Gran Hotel is also a renowned dining hotspot. At Downtown Ibiza by Guiseppe Cipriani, fresh Italian flavours are served in a relaxed, stylish space; innovative open-air restaurant Zuma takes inspiration from the informal Japanese small-plate izakaya style with delicious contemporary dishes.
The jewel in the crown, however, is La Gaia by Óscar Molina restaurant. With a focus on seasonal local produce and zero-kilometre dining, it's as sustainably-minded as it is spectacular and has been awarded a Michelin Star. This year, a meal here is set to be more exciting than ever thanks to the Four Hands collaboration – a series of dinners hosted by visiting chefs from similarly starry establishments. The lineup will cast a new light on the island's cuisine and present unique and extraordinary meals. It's just one more reason why discerning culture-seekers should flock to Ibiza Gran Hotel this season.
