Three beautiful hotels for autumn in Ibiza
Autumn is one of our favourite seasons in Ibiza, with verdant nature, buzzy towns and a laidback, leisurely atmosphere. Here’s our pick of three gloriously pretty hotels for a relaxed late-season break.
Can Sastre
Tucked away in mature tropical gardens just moments from Santa Gertrudis, Can Sastre is an oasis of peace and tranquillity where the outside world appears to switch off. Dutch owners Bibi and Ray have created a home-from-home for their loyal clients, who return year on year – kids in tow – to relax by the palm-shaded pool (with a cocktail from the honesty bar), eat homemade tapas in the gardens and stroll along the pine-clad caminos for supper in nearby Santa Gertrudis, a cosmopolitan year-round hub thanks to the local international school. Less than ten minutes’ drive from Ibiza Town, Can Sastre is the idea weekend getaway. Open until the end of November.
La Bohemia del Río
This elegantly restored bolthole is one of Santa Eulalia’s best-kept secrets. Step across the unassuming threshold into a colonial-style wonderland with tropical gardens, original chequerboard floors and rattan Malawi chairs galore. The French owners have created a laidback, adults-only hotel where guests float from bedrooms to bar to well-stocked library, sip cocktails by the discreet swimming pool and eat fabulous, locally sourced breakfasts in the autumn sunshine. Santa Eulalia is the main town of the north of Ibiza and has a buzzy, year-round atmosphere with plenty of shops and a charming seaside promenade for sipping coffee and watching the world go by. Open until 29th of October.
Aguamadera
Hip new agroturismo Aguamadera has quickly put this little stretch of eastern coast on the map, with glorious rooms, spectacular scenery and a superlative wood-fired kitchen that’s become the talk of the island. Luckily for locals the hotel will remain open over winter with a focus on relaxed, family-style dining with open fires, live music and cool island DJs. Sundays promise to be the barefoot, bohemian vibe of old Ibiza, with lazy community lunches and sunset-fuelled vinyl DJ sets. The dreamiest bolthole for a lazy autumn weekend. Open all winter.
