Illes Balears, Ibiza, Spain
Six Senses Ibiza
Sea Star
What it is
A new 116-room waterfront stunner with an earthy aesthetic; botanical spa; organic restaurants and a 400-year-old olive farm on the premises.
What it isn't
Just about lazing on the beach. Curated activities here include expertly led kayak tours on Xarraca Bay, solar catamaran jaunts, and hiking through thick pine forests to secret islets.
What we think
Europeans j’adore Ibiza for good reason—weather-wise, it’s a paradise, and it’s just two hours from most major European cities. But it wasn’t until Six Senses Ibiza opened in 2021 that you’d find a truly serene, spa-like stay in the area known for dancing into the wee hours. Guest rooms are ginormous, beginning at 420 square feet (plus a 237-square-foot courtyard stocked with citrus trees) for a Hideaway Deluxe. Our favorite room option may be the Sea View Deluxe, with a rooftop terrace that’s partially shaded by a stick roof and complete with a grassy knoll flanked by Mediterranean plants, and a glass fence overlooking the sea. Either way, you’ll find amenities that range from the calm (a yoga mat, a pillow menu) to the party-ready (Bluetooth speakers; a mini bar). While you’re here, be sure to stop in at the Farmers’ Market right on the premises, and complete with wood-fired pizzas and a juice bar.
You're here because
The resort is BREEAM certified—i.e. as sustainable as possible. Among it’s eco-accolades: Six Senses Ibiza saves 40% of its carbon emissions by producing its own renewable energy and even contributes to a nearby hedgehog sanctuary (just as cute as it sounds).
The Moment
When a spa contains a longevity lounge, hammam, infrared sauna, steam room, and massage rooms that sit open to exultant organic gardens, it’s more than a spa: it’s nirvana. But when it *also* contains high-tech amenities like cryotherapy and a PEMF chair? You’re never leaving.
