Despite being the smallest of the three main Balearic Islands, Ibiza has just as many beaches as Menorca and some of the best stretches of sand in the archipelago. The island's hotels take advantage of the coastline and offer several beachfront lodgings. Many of our recommendations come with perks like private areas of the beach, spas, fine-dining restaurants, and multiple outdoor pools.

Bless Hotel Ibiza
LUXURY

Bless Hotel Ibiza sits on Cala Nova, a beautiful stretch of sand along Ibiza's northeastern coast. Because the property is on a hillside, you get incredible views of the sea from rooms and common areas, but that means it'll take a few minutes to get down to the beach. Still, a paved path from the hotel's main pool leads to Cala Nova, an area lined with eateries. However, if you're feeling content at the pool, you can enjoy the artificial beach area with its fluffy sand and sun loungers overlooking the coast. 

Though Bless Hotel has a picture-perfect Ibizan setting, the property channels a far more modern aesthetic with a mix of black, white, and pink tones and feels a bit out of place. Still, you'll enjoy the surrounding natural environment, as every room has a private terrace, and many units face the sea. Suites are worth the upgrade if you're looking for more space, Jacuzzi tubs with sea views, and/or seating areas. 

There are plenty of amenities at the hotel, too. You'll have your choice of three eateries (one a Michelin-star fine-dining restaurant) and a vermouth bar. Etxeko offers dinner with a menu from the Basque Country, while the other two options serve lunch beside the property's pools, one being on the rooftop Infinity Lounge. Besides the two outdoor pools, you can relax at the spa with its treatment menu, water circuit, saunas, and aromatherapy, or check out the health bar or beauty salon. Learn more

ME Ibiza

ME Ibiza is just outside the town of Santa Eulalia, right on the coast, with a private beach area perfect for swimming. There are a few paths leading down to the coast from the hotel, and you can reserve seating, umbrellas, and towels. The beach is mostly rocky and set in a cove, but that keeps the water crystal-clear, so it's also an excellent spot for snorkeling and paddleboarding. Besides the beach, you can relax in the outdoor pool area, surrounded by sunbeds, loungers, soft grass, pine trees, and sea views. 

If you're after a completely relaxing experience, go from the beach to the hotel's wellness area with a gym, spa treatments, and a water circuit. Enjoy drinks and grilled food at the rooftop terrace, complete with DJ sessions, or dine at the Origens Restaurant with its bohemian vibes and Mediterranean cuisine. There's also a kids' club, another pool on the rooftop, and yoga sessions.

As for the rooms, they're bright, airy, and refreshing with neutral colors, earthy tones, and natural textures, plus modern bathrooms, seating areas, and views of the gardens or sea. Upgrade your room to add perks like furnished balconies, spacious terraces, in-room soaking tubs, and/or dining areas. Some of these added amenities require booking in the ME+ tier, but those rooms also offer the option of sofabeds and private pools or hot tubs on the terrace. Learn more

Hotel Riomar

MID-RANGE

Hotel Riomar sits directly on the beach in Santa Eulalia, one of the sandiest coastlines on the island. You can walk straight from the hotel's property to the fluffy sand and relax in a private area reserved for guests, complete with trendy wooden sun loungers and umbrellas. You won't get those clear waters here, as the beach is quite long and sandy, but you'll be in an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing. When you need a break from the sea, head to the outdoor pool with its wooden sundeck and palm trees. 

The rooms and suites at Hotel Riomar are stylish, with contemporary decor and furnishings that create a colorful yet relaxing atmosphere. Everything feels fresh, bright, clean, warm, and inviting. And because you're right on the beach, you can enjoy the views from your room, too, as all have private terraces, and most offer sea views. 

Enjoy your meals at the Ocean Brasserie Lounge, which serves food all day in the summer and offers al fresco dining. You can also eat lighter fare and sip drinks at the pool deck or the indoor cocktail bar. Other amenities include a garden space, fitness room, and the terrace known as "Tribe," which hosts a music ritual at sunset, colorful carpets, sunbeds, pillows, and string lights. Learn more

Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza
MID-RANGE

Iberostar Selection is another beachfront option in beautiful Santa Eulalia and an adults-only hotel. What makes this property such a great pick is its private stone deck that sticks right out into the sea with a bar, sunbeds, loungers, grass umbrellas, and steps straight into the water. So, you can relax on the pebbly beach or sit on this fantastic deck.

When not at the beach, you can swim in the outdoor pool, which offers direct access to the coast, or, if you book in the Star Prestige tier, you can hang out on the rooftop terrace with another outdoor pool, lounge, and free self-service bar. Other amenities include a gym, spa, and the Agave Restaurant, which offers a themed show with your dinner. You'll also find three bars at the hotel, one on the upper terrace with themed music each night, another at the outdoor pool, and the third bar in the lounge. 

The hotel offers 13 room types, five reserved for the Star Prestige tier with a few exclusive amenities. All have private terraces with forest or sea views, a clean, minimalist aesthetic, and modern bathrooms. Because of the property's shape, not many rooms have total sea views, so keep that in mind when booking. The suites add more space and seating, and the penthouse features a large terrace with a private hot tub. Learn more

Catalonia Royal Ses Estaques
MID-RANGE

Continuing with the theme of Santa Eulalia, Catalonia Royal Ses Estaques is an adults-only accommodation with all units facing the sea. From the outdoor terraced restaurant, you can stroll down to the rocky surf and find a few pebbly spots or walk along a path leading up to the sea cliffs for beautiful views. Just keep in mind that while this isn't the best beach for swimming (no sand or long stretches), you'll still be right on the coast and can enjoy a refreshing dip and eat your meals with the waves crashing right next to you. 

All units at Royal Ses Estaques are suites with sea views, so you'll get plenty of space and amenities like sofas and furnished terraces. All use the same colors as the area's environment, including pops of blues and greens to represent the sea. For the ultimate perk, book a swim-up suite, meaning you can leave your room via the terrace and hop directly into the pool. Deluxe units feature two balconies and add a dining area. 

You'll have your choice of two pools, one with sea views and the other featuring a bar, hammocks, and sunbeds. You'll also find a small gym and massage menu at the hotel, a restaurant serving Mediterranean and Ibizan cuisine, and a dining area overlooking the coast. The hotel hosts live music in the evenings, and you can enjoy complimentary snacks, coffee, and tea in the lounge from 4:00 to 10:00 pm. Learn more

Hotel Torre Del Mar
MID-RANGE

Hotel Torre Del Mar is a beachfront property along the coastal stretch just south of Ibiza Town. You'll find two beaches here: Es Vivé, a larger space with a mix of pebbles and sand and home to a small marina; the other is a rocky option extending along the property. A few steps take you right from the hotel to the coast, though you can also enjoy the views from the outdoor pool, which surrounds an ancient brick tower.

Other hotel amenities include the on-site buffet restaurant with outdoor seating along a glass wall, so you get uninterrupted sea views while you dine. There's also a tapas bar and poolside bar in the outdoor garden, a 24-hour gym, a bike center, and a spa. The rooms have a very clean, bright, and simple aesthetic, with balconies overlooking the sea or the distant mountains, and upgraded units add spacious terraces with outdoor bathtubs, sundecks, and/or Jacuzzi tubs. Groups or families can book connecting rooms or one of the duplexes, which features a bedroom on the top floor and a sofa bed in the living room. Learn more
