Clifftop Balearic hacienda
White-washed terraces cling to craggy northern cliffs, trading Ibiza's nightlife for quiet hours high above the sea.

You’re still close enough to town for some revelry, within reason. But when it’s time to retire — or when it’s time for a day off — you’re treated to a tranquil setting, soothingly stylish interiors, and astonishing views.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pine forests cover the surrounding hills, and Benirras beach is a fifteen-minute drive east.
The rooms
Every room faces the sea with a private Jacuzzi by the window. Select suites add terrace plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The solar-heated main pool curves along the clifftop terrace, and an indoor heated pool sits beneath whitewashed arches.
The hydrotherapy pools
Cascadas Suspendidas steps down the cliff across three water temperatures, with hydro-massage jets overlooking the open sea.
The spa and gym
Outdoor spa sessions use singing bowls above the cliffs, and the gym looks out toward pine-covered hills.
Edén Restaurant
Five tiered outdoor terraces step down the cliff, serving local seafood and vegetables grown in the hotel garden.
With interiors designed by Alvar Lipszyc and Play | Offside, the Ibiza-style country estate is home to 77 rooms and suites, each styled with a mixture of rustic and contemporary furnishings
At the table
Woven nest booths sit high on the cliff edge for sunset cocktails, and breakfast is served beside a courtyard olive press.
How it began
Architect Daniel Lipszyc began building in 1969 on a rugged cliff that lacked roads, electricity, and running water.
