What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel is oriented around the central pool deck, surrounded by lounge chairs and shaded daybeds, all in a soothing white-on-white.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Es Pujols restaurants and bars sit right outside, and the village beach is a short walk away.
The rooms
Curved space-age furniture and graphic cloud headboards bring playful pops of pink and yellow to crisp white rooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The courtyard pool lights up at dusk, and an infinity dipping pool looks across the bay from the roof.
The spa and gym
Yellow mosaic tiles line the indoor thermal pool, and the mirrored fitness room has cardio and strength machines.
Bar
Sky Rooftop & Sunset Lounge
A glass exterior elevator climbs straight to the rooftop terrace, where cocktails are served against sunset views over the bay.
At the table
Janis serves Mediterranean seafood under a rooftop pergola. Downstairs, Imagine opens onto the pool deck beneath a floral canopy ceiling.
How it began
Local owners Paya Hotels spent three years building the island's first five-star hotel, honoring the counterculture travelers of the 1960s.
