Mirador de Dalt Vila

Built as a private estate in 1905, the dashing Mirador de Dalt Villa is serene and exclusive — the opposite of what one might find closer to the hum of town.

A mere 13 terraced rooms await in-the-know guests to this much-loved hotel. Choose from Junior Suites, Superior Suites, or Standard Double Rooms and Singles — all of which are air-conditioned and have a flat-screen TV, WiFi and iPod docks.

Strolling through the marble-clad hotel, guests will notice an array of spots to exhale: an eclectically stocked and managed cocktail bar, an intimate outdoor pool, and a DVD library for the odd night in. The restaurant is not to be missed either, with its modern take on Mediterranean fare, serving up an array of hearty meat and fish dishes.

For breakfast, take a seat outdoors any time before noon for fresh pastries and breads with homemade jams, Iberian jamon, eggs, and cheeses. It’s the perfect fuel-up for a walk through the winding streets of Ibiza’s old town — and activity that eagerly eats up days quicker than you’d think.
