Whether this means a chic and hip design, plenty of in-built privacy, pampering spas or gourmet food, you can find it amongst our pick of the best luxury hotels on Ibiza.

And, unlike on the other popular Mediterranean islands, the hotels are generally not large and impersonal but small-scale and intimate. Whether your idea of luxury is your own private villa or uninterrupted views or gourmet food or your own private pool, you will find it here on the island. Use our guide to Ibiza's best luxury hotels to start planning your dream holiday.

10 of the Most Luxurious Hotels on Ibiza

Best luxury hotels in Ibiza Town

• With fabulous views over Ibiza Town and close to beaches, Hotel Ocean Drive has a cool, Miami design with modern art-deco styling and sleek chrome and leather. The rooftop bar is the place to be seen.
• A little higher in the town, and with some of the best views, La Torre del Canonigo was originally a medieval tower built on the town’s Roman acropolis. Rooms are Ibiza-cool in white with terracotta floors; the best have private terraces while the most romantic has an outdoor bath on the terrace. There’s also a rooftop pool.
• On the edge of the walled part of the town, Mirador De Dalt Vila combines the gracious feel of a family mansion with cool, contemporary elegance. Rooms are large and dotted with antiques - some with terraces - while bathrooms are marble-clad. With a private yacht, pool, cocktail bar and excellent restaurant, you will feel truly pampered.
• Just outside Ibiza Town, surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees, Es Trull offers just 10 elegant and contemporary villas in cool white-on-white. There’s a large pool and a sophisticated dining room.
• Also just outside the town, Can Arabi is an elegant country house furnished with a light, contemporary-classic touch; some rooms have hot-tubs. There’s a very chic pool set amongst the gardens and a chance to dine al fresco.

Best luxury inland hotels

• Foodies will love Ca Na Xica, whose restaurant serves up fine-dining, organic Mediterranean cooking. Rooms, all with private terraces or balconies, are cool with funky colours and furnishings. Surrounded by olive groves and orchards, it’s beautifully quiet plus there’s a charming spa.
• Choose from apartments, villas and suites (as well as rooms) at Can Lluc, a large hotel based around a farmhouse. The styling is rustic-chic and there’s a large pool, lush gardens, a spa and quality restaurant plus hiking trails start from the door.
• Tucked away in the centre of the island, the small and chic Cas Gasi is a luxury retreat with classic country-house styled rooms. Set in several acres of colourful gardens, the hotel offers a private yacht, two pools, a spa, yoga lessons and bicycles to borrow. It’s also eco-friendly, with its own well for water, home-produced olive oil and organic fruit and vegetables from its own gardens.

Best luxury beach hotels

• With tumbling infinity pools, a spectacular cliff-top setting and most of the white-on-white chic rooms having sea-views, Hacienda Na Xamena feels both secluded and special. There’s a host of activities if you feel inclined - tennis, sailing, kayaking, trekking, cookery lessons - or you could just chill-out in the spa. A good choice of restaurants, too.
