Hotel Hacienda Na Xamena

The typical vision of an Ibiza getaway is the relentless pounding of a dance floor, punctuated by the occasional bleary-eyed bit of sunshine. Accommodations are sometimes almost beside the point. Clearly we don’t subscribe to that approach — and neither, thankfully, does the Hotel Hacienda Na Xamena, a seventy-five room boutique hotel high on a hill overlooking the sea, just twenty minutes outside of town.

But what a difference those twenty minutes make. You’re still close enough to town for any amount of revelry, within reason. But when it’s time to retire — or when it’s time for a day off — you’re treated to a tranquil setting, soothingly stylish interiors, and astonishing views. The comforts are five-star, and the services are comprehensive, if smallish in scale; the spa is particularly unique, as the hot tubs’ water cascades across a series of pools descending the terraced hillside.

The look is contemporary, its minimalist lines tempered by an eclectic collection of objets d’art from indigenous cultures around the world. It’s a fitting theme for a hotel whose essential function is escape — not only an escape to Ibiza, but equally, when it’s needed, an escape from the bustle and the crowds of Ibiza Town.
