27 Best Hotels in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands, Spain

Can Alomar is the perfect urban retreat if you want to be in the center of it all. Located on the most expensive street in Palma, it mixes contemporary luxury with intelligent design and ample room sizes. The on-site restaurant Tokio A Lima infuses Peruvian gastronomy with Japanese and has some of the best views of Palma if you're sitting on the terrace.

In a 19th-century building on a quiet square in the old town, Calatrava is one of many historic buildings converted into elegant, art-laden boutique hotels in recent years. The airy, oversized guest rooms are tastefully decorated with Mediterranean-inspired terra-cotta walls, painted wooden beams, beechwood floors, and Carl Hansen armchairs and thick rugs to create a laid-back, homey feel. The breezy rooftop, which doubles as a breakfast room, has unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and Palma Bay, while the spa has a sauna and heated whirlpool tubs and can be reserved by guests for an hour a day of private use at no extra cost. The delicious-smelling bath and spa amenities are organic and vegan. The hotel accommodates over-14s only.

This boutique hotel, named after its owner, is set around a pretty swimming pool and a lush garden in the historic center of Mahón. The antiques-stuffed interiors are warm, elegant, and sophisticated, while the magnificent garden is the real pièce de résistance—a green oasis in the historic heart of the island's capital. The hotel is plastic-free and has a stated commitment to reduce, reuse, recycle, and buy only what is needed. The rooms are bright, modern, and ultra-cozy.

In recent years, several high-end boutique hotels have opened in Palma de Mallorca, none more fabulous than El Llorenç Parc de la Mar. The setting, on a quiet square in the historic Calatrava neighborhood, is ideal for exploring the prettiest parts of Palma on foot. Guests love the timeless design (which blends landmark details with ultramodern features), the dreamy spa, and the spectacular split-level rooftop, complete with a bar and casual-dining restaurant, infinity pool, and 360-degree views of the bay, the Cathedral, and the rooftops of the old town. The hotel interior is the work of Swedish designer Magnus Ehrland, who tapped into Mallorcan history and the island's Moorish influence. The result is a rich aesthetic that pays homage to its historic neighborhood. The cozy rooms mix classic black-and-white photography with colorful details and warm, comforting fabrics. Delicious-smelling Le Labo bath amenities complete the overall excellence of the El Llorenç experience.

Occupying several renovated and restored 16th-century palace buildings, Faustino Gran has a simple yet elegant aesthetic. The decor combines bright whites and greens of the Mediterranean to create a sense of serenity. Highlights include a spa in a restored cave—featuring organic spa products from the island—and a restaurant in the lush, bougainvillea-draped inner courtyard, where guests can enjoy traditional Mediterranean cuisine with modern twists.

About equidistant from Palma and Valldemossa, this restored estate house—parts of which date back to 1672—is one of Mallorca's most luxurious hotels. A cluster of detached suites have private pools, hot tubs, fireplaces, and classic-modern furnishing. Rooms in the main building can be over the top—lots of red and rosy pink—but the bathrooms are truly palatial. Poplars and palms shade the terrace above the 98-foot infinity pool, with a view over the village of Puigpunyent and surrounding countryside, likely making this the best pool terrace on the island. Son Net's restaurant, Oleum, set in an ancient olive mill, is an ideal showcase for chef Sergio Olmedo's Continental–Mallorcan cuisine. The poolside restaurant, El Gazebo, is perfect for summer lunches, and the Treehouse, with panoramic views across the mountains, is a charming setting for more intimate meals. The hotel's own vineyard produces quite drinkable wines.

Romanesque arches and a giant palm tree spectacularly cover the central courtyard and reception area of this shabby-chic hotel, which occupies the former mansion of a noble Mallorcan family. Guest rooms are modest, though some have the original coffered and painted ceilings and traditional Mallorcan furnishings. The rates are more than reasonable, and a buffet breakfast is included.

A converted 17th-century manor house in the hills above the valley of Deià, this peaceful hotel is known for its traditional sense of luxury. Rooms are spacious and classically furnished, and most have private balconies with stone balustrades and stunning views. Acres of gardens have secluded corners, with deck chairs under the orange trees, bamboo groves, and ancient olive trees, and from everywhere you can hear the sound of water tumbling from a mountain spring. A shuttle bus runs four times daily to the hotel's private cove at Sa Muleta, with a cliffside solarium and lounge deck. Book early: about half the clientele come back year after year.

Like many other St Regis properties, the St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort is built on a luxury pedestal. The rooms are carefully crafted to exude elegance and sophistication, while the amenities are well suited for all types of travelers. The hotel has an affinity with Bloody Marys, which you should try while there. There is also the Es Fum Restaurant, which garnered a Michelin star in 2024. While most multicourse meals will leave you uncomfortably full, the multicourse selections at Es Fum will leave you breathless and craving more.

Ibiza may be best known as a magnet for the international jet set, but there's also a quieter, more sophisticated side to the island, which can be found at this hotel on a 13-hectare orange farm. There are sprawling gardens, two restaurants, a spa with wellness classes, a generous outdoor swimming pool, plentiful fragrant orange groves, and an on-site vegetable garden. The food in La Veranda and The Orange Tree restaurants is local, seasonal, and packed with flavor—a true celebration of the farm-to-table movement. Guest rooms are rustic-chic, with solid teak four-poster beds, excellent white linens, and quality natural materials. Many have their own private gardens, balconies, terraces, or pools.

Built in 1740 during the British occupation, this former private residence has been turned into an upscale boutique hotel.

The Terraza Suite has a leafy private terrace.

Known as one of the first agriturismo hotels on the island, Cas Gasi is one of those places where you feel the old spirit of Ibizan calm.

It has many amenities, including an outdoor dining area that invokes a romantic feeling even if you're traveling by yourself.

Legendary nightlife brand Pacha's hotel brings "barefoot simplicity and understated comfort" to Ibiza's laid-back sister island of Formentera. Situated right on Cala Migjorn—one of Europe's most beautiful beaches—this ultrasophisticated spot seeks to capture the carefree spirit of the Balearics, encouraging visitors to unwind and recharge. The spacious rooms and suites have pared-back, stylish interiors in neutral tones, with polished concrete floors and natural materials like wood and linen, creating a sense of tranquility. All have breathtaking sea views and feature either private terraces or balconies. The beach restaurant invites guests to dine and drink with their toes in the sand, seated around wooden tables designed for sharing, connecting, and bringing people together.

This lovely hotel in a 13th-century estate is a 10-minute drive from Palma, with several nearby golf courses. The Son Vida golf course surrounds the property, while the Son Muntaner and Son Quint courses and nine-hole Son Quint Pitch & Putt are a short drive away. The spacious guest rooms come with plenty of storage space, double vanities, showers and tubs, and ultra-comfy beds, while the common areas are filled with valuable antiques, fine rugs, and a collection of Old Master artworks. The outdoor bar terrace and restaurant offer incomparable views of Palma Bay.

Local hospitality expert Toni Duran converted this 200-acre farm, complete with a converted medieval farmhouse and a century-old olive oil mill, into a cozy boutique hotel.

Expect plenty of natural Mallorcan materials, farm-to-table food, and all the Mediterranean countryside's sounds, flavors, and smells.

Next door to Es Trenc, the Fontsanta Hotel has the only thermal waters in Mallorca. This property screams luxury wellness and is a great place to decompress. The hotel offers transport from the property to the nature preserve and can even coordinate picnics that are great for any type of traveler.

This is the largest hotel in town, a former private estate with an imposing Moderniste facade. Its spacious rooms, most with twin beds, are decorated with subdued shades of beige and cream, with blue carpeting, and all have Jacuzzi baths. Breakfast is served on the terrace, weather permitting. An upscale spa and fitness center serves both local residents and guests. There is a daily prix-fixe lunch menu here.

With only a distance of 15 minutes from the heart of Palma, Grand Hotel Son Net feels like another world. Housed in a historic palace, the hotel is a doorway into another time. Each room is decorated in what feels like perfect time-accurate Mallorican design. Even though this place oozes luxury, it's open to all different types of travelers, and you can often hear the laughter of children with their families through the other hallways. The best time to visit is in the summer since it's the perfect escape from the busy city.

The longtime residents and civic boosters Toni and Tanya Molio, who are credited with the idea of dredging sand from the bay to create the beach at Santa Eulària, run this simple lodging on the little promenade in the heart of town. Rooms are fairly spacious, with tile floors and twin or double beds; rooms in back have private terraces overlooking a small garden, while those in front have narrow balconies with views of the sea. Windows are double-glazed for a modicum of quiet. A comfortable lounge, off the bar-café, has an extensive library of left-behind books, sorted by language.

Business travelers from the mainland favor this comfortable, central hotel, and it's an excellent choice for vacationers as well. Rooms have pebbled white walls, with furniture and color schemes in soothing tones of brown, cream, and orange, and, though the rooms are mostly singles and doubles, there are also a few family-friendly ones for three or four guests. Open year-round, the Almudaina has just three of its own parking spaces, which are understandably hard to reserve. You might want to pay a little more for the "Double Star" Room 804: the hotel's rooftop terrace-solarium is right next door, with wonderful views of the cathedral, the old town, and the harbor.

If you're a fan of anything Sir Richard Branson, then you're going to love Son Bunyola. Located 45 minutes from Palma and down some of the most winding roads known to man, it's one of Mallorca's newest luxury hotels. With a limited amount of rooms (and space) Son Bunyola feels like you're walking into a space that mixes historical with contemporary. Highlights include the on-site restaurant that has a plethora of Mallorican dishes and a cocktail menu that rivals the best Palma has to offer. The rooms are modern and offer enough space for a family.

On the pedestrian square Vara de Rey, the Montesol has been a landmark since 1933; now, a trendy 2023 refurbishment brings bohemian design elements, such as shell-imprinted walls and a cosmopolitan restaurant that sprawls out into the street. Run by the Experimental Group, famed for its nightlife and the unpredictable magic of French interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon, the hotel feels fresh, young, and casual (even senior management wears linen pants and sneakers). It’s designed as a base for exploration rather than somewhere to lounge all day, but Dalt Vila views and bespoke interiors mean there’s also a lot worth staying in for.

Spacious rooms, two swimming pools (one for families), and on-it customer service are standouts in this upscale beachside resort that impresses from the instant you enter—when the open-plan lobby splays onto a sophisticated pool area. There are nods to your neighbor, the ocean, throughout the design: raffia lampshades, accents of blue among neutral bedroom furnishings, and breakfast served outdoors, with sand beneath your feet. It’s a 35-minute stroll to Eivissa Port on Talamanca Bay, mainly along a well-kept boardwalk and promenade. Walk left, however, and an unexpectedly wild and rugged clifftop walk, interspersed with calas, awaits anyone who packed sneakers.

Newly opened in 2024, Portella Palma mixes historical design with contemporary. The interiors were designed by Festen Architecture, led by duo Hugo Sauzay and Charlotte de Tonnac. The property is the perfect place if you want to be in the center of the Palma but in an alley that sees little action in terms of parties or nightlife. Consider it a luxury escape with more design aspects than luxury frills. Most rooms have high ceilings and purposeful design choices.

This super-modern, white Juliet–balconied hotel is one of Eivissa’s most striking urban addresses, with a sliver of rooftop pool and a restaurant with a DJ that even pulls in the town’s elderly locals. While the vibe appeals to twenty-something partygoers warming up before hitting the nightclubs, that’s not at the expense of anyone who’d instead be tucked up in bed by 10 pm. The decor is warm and plant-heavy, the beds comfy, and the rooms surprisingly well-soundproofed. Balconies are too small to sit on, but watching old-town life unfold in the square below makes you feel part of Ibiza’s beating pulse.

Bright, vibrant, and bursting with color, the W Ibiza encapsulates the lively, hedonistic spirit of Ibiza. Rooms overlook either the sea or the mountains, with natural fabrics, design details by Ibizan artisans, and the implausibly plush signature W beds. There's a spa, three bars, and three restaurants, including Chiringuito Blue, which serves excellent fish dishes on Santa Eulària's famous white powder–sand beach just outside the hotel.
