Six Senses Ibiza, Ibiza, Mediterranean

Ibiza holidays may come with a party-hard reputation but that's just a one-dimensional glimpse of this beautiful Balearic isle. Six Senses Ibiza introduces you to another: its much sleepier north, far away from its neon-streaked raves and far more in touch with the island's bohemian roots. Here, the free-spirited frequency is in tune with the spellbinding nature this hidden corner of the island is blessed with. The views from the resort's cliff-perched infinity pool are stupendous: you'll find yourself looking over the crystalline waters of Cala Xarraca bay, with rows of fragrant pines peering over your shoulder for a peek themselves.

It's not just the scenery that's good for your soul. Six Senses Ibiza's lo-fi, eco-friendly philosophy ensures your conscience will remain as clear as the waters of Cala Xarraca. It's the first sustainable BREEAM-certified resort in the Balearics and if that doesn't mean much to you then we'll put it another way: quite simply, if you cut the resort open its heart would be green. The ace up its sleeve is its working farm which operates on the site of a 400-year-old olive press and agricultural estate, supplying the resort's restaurants with fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese and more, while the Agora is an incredible immersive concept which shows that luxury and sustainability can go together hand in hand. Every room and suite is suitably Spanish in style, while most take advantage of the spectacular sea views. The highlight are the Cave Suites, built beneath the infinity pool and where you can literally drift off to the sound of Cala Xarraca's gentle waves.

In true Six Senses style, every guest is actively encouraged to engage with the local area and the resort makes it incredibly easy for you to do so: secret picnic trips in a retro VW campervan channel the island's hippie culture, while paella cooking classes and flamenco lessons show you an authentic side of Spain. Forget Ibiza's crowded beach bars, Six Senses Ibiza and its tranquil north are a peek into the island's soul.
