15 Top-Rated Resorts in Ibiza

byCassandra Angelie
Ibiza, the resort island in the Mediterranean about 100 miles from Spain, is where Europe (and the world) goes to unwind, vacation, maybe dance a little, and just get away from the cold weather. The island is filled with beautiful beaches and spectacular natural scenery. There are also a wide range of resorts, from budget to luxury, and your choice may depend on its location.

The main city of Ibiza is known as Ibiza Town (or simply Vila), and it's in the south part of the island. Other major resort areas include Portinatx in the north, San Antonio in the west, and Santa Eulalia in the east.

In Ibiza, some resorts are directly on the sand, while many others are up a few steps away from the beach, requiring a few minutes' walk. There are all kinds of resorts in Ibiza-some cater to adults only, some to couples, and some to families. Some large resorts are able to provide a good experience for all three.

Keep in mind Ibiza is a seasonal resort. Many hotels close for the fall and winter and are only open during the high season, from May through October. Find a great place to stay with our list of the top resorts in Ibiza.

1. Six Senses Ibiza

Accommodation: Six Senses Ibiza

Highlights: Very luxurious, a world-class spa, the most sustainable resort in the Balearics

One of the newer resorts on Ibiza, the Six Senses Ibiza is the first BREEAM-certified luxury resort in the Balearic Islands for its overall sustainability and minimal impact on the environment. From the sustainable design to the use of natural, locally sourced construction materials to the total lack of plastics or single-use products, it's all about being in harmony with the natural environment.

The Six Senses is on Xarraca Bay, which is a remote part (on Ibiza, that means a 20-minute drive from Vila) of the very northern tip of the island. There are 118 rooms and suites, including townhouses and pool suites, which open right onto the pool. Many of the rooms have private terraces, providing dramatic sunset (and every other part of the day) views over the ocean. Some of those terraces have outdoor showers and outdoor bathtubs.

Four different restaurants serve seasonal, nutritional, ethically sourced food, but foodies would probably be happier at one of Ibiza's resorts that focuses on gastronomy, like the Amare. The Six Senses is known for its Showcase Six Senses Spa and its curated program of wellness activities, including yoga, meditation, holistic healing, and more.
