STAY AT
Gran Hotel Montesol
The Gran Hotel Montesol has been welcoming guests since 1933. Located in lively Ibiza Town, the establishment underwent a major renovation under the supervision of Spanish interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán and reopened its doors in 2016. The exuberance of the neo-colonial façade is offset by the contemporary nature of the interior, while the attentive choice of decorative elements and local fine materials contributes to preserving the building’s original character. Unwind at the Art Deco-inspired bar, where attention for details, excellent cocktails, elegant décor and an atmosphere of the past attract the most cosmopolitan crowds.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza’s Contemporary Art Museum
Gently sitting on a hilltop of Ibiza Town, the fortified Citadel of Dalt Vila was officially declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. A distinguished example of military architecture dating back to the sixteenth century, this impenetrable fortress served an essential role in the island’s defensive system during the reigns of Charles V and Philip II. Today, it is home to countless restaurants, charming shops and even an open-air cinema. Get lost in its labyrinth of cobbled streets and glimmering whitewashed houses and discover the local contemporary art production by visiting the Museu d’Art Contemporani d’Eivissa (MACE).
