In Ibiza, a hotel has to have much more than a sparkling pool and sweeping views to stand out. In fact, for this list, we’ve ignored some of the traditional five-star criteria – such as a butler or a flatscreen television – and selected places that truly offer something special. Whether it’s a bustling restaurant that’s the hub of Ibiza Town, a front door that opens onto a Unesco World Heritage site or the island’s best spa, here’s our pick of the best five-star hotels in Ibiza.

Hotel MiM Ibiza Es Vivé
Ibiza Town, Ibiza, Spain
Behind the white-and-turquoise facade, interiors are glamorous and could easily jump from the page of an F. Scott Fitzgerland tale, with crystal chandeliers, plush furnishings and marble flooring all featured. An inviting pool shaded by palms is a focal point out front, while indoors it’s all about the spa. The shamelessly decadent Deco restaurant is situated on the ground floor, as is the Experience Bar (open till the early hours), while on the roof you’ll find the ODP Sky Bar. Once a party hotel but now a more grown up affair, mischief here still sizzles beneath the surface.
