Although it is renowned for its clubbing and beach scene, Ibiza has a beautiful interior, with plenty of trees, plants and birdlife to discover. In early spring, for example, you will be rewarded with clouds of almond blossom. Our guide to the best rural hotels on Ibiza will help you select the perfect hidden gem for your Balearic getaway.

It’s in the inland villages that you will find a more authentic Ibiza. Many of the villages, such as San Miguel de Balansat and San Llorenc, are clustered around fine churches. Here you will find a quieter pace of life as well as fine views. Equally, choosing one of the best rural hotels on Ibiza, means you can enjoy all the excitement of the coastal resorts and beaches, and then, at the end of the day, retreat to a peaceful hideaway.
