Casa Maca: A Hidden Gem in Ibiza’s Countryside

Imagine a secluded refuge in Ibiza’s countryside, far from the bustling crowds and neon lights; a place where you can truly unwind and experience the island’s authentic charm. That’s Casa Maca, a boutique hotel that’s quickly becoming a favorite among affluent and luxury travelers.

Casa Maca is a testament to the island’s enduring charm. Originally a 300-year-old farmhouse, it has been meticulously restored and transformed into a boutique hotel that exudes both rustic elegance and contemporary sophistication. The Anadon family, known for their iconic Café Mambo, acquired Casa Maca with the vision of creating a sanctuary where guests could experience the true essence of Ibiza. Their love for the island’s rich heritage and vibrant culture is evident in every detail of the property.

A Symphony of Nature and Design

As I first stepped into the courtyard of Casa Maca, I was immediately captivated by its harmonious blend of nature and design. Lush gardens, adorned with fragrant flowers and towering palm trees, create a serene and inviting atmosphere. The hotel’s architecture, a beautiful fusion of traditional Ibizan elements and modern aesthetics, seamlessly blends into the surrounding landscape.

The interiors of Casa Maca are equally impressive. Each of their 10 suites are thoughtfully designed to offer a sense of tranquility and comfort. Natural materials, such as wood and stone, are complemented by contemporary furnishings and bespoke artwork. The feel of your own private suite is met with a sense of community through the property’s openair layout of neighboring havens with matching exteriors and aesthetics. The overall effect is one of understated luxury and timeless elegance.

A Culinary Journey

One of the highlights of my stay at Casa Maca was the opportunity to savor the delectable cuisine offered by the hotel’s alfresco grill restaurant. The menu features fresh, locally sourced ingredients, expertly prepared to showcase the flavors of the island. From succulent grilled meats and seafood to vibrant salads and homemade desserts, every dish is a culinary masterpiece — with a breathtaking view of the island just beyond the horizon.

Sunset dinners are a favorite among both guests of the hotel and the island, where you can savor delicious food while taking in unparalleled views of Old Town. The atmosphere is magical, with the soft glow of the setting sun casting a warm, romantic light over the restaurant. Guests can unwind to the soothing sounds of world-inspired chillout music spun by resident DJs, all while savoring handcrafted cocktails served from their unique Airstream bar. This space at Casa Maca perfectly channels the vibrant energy that the island is best known for.

A Haven of Tranquility

Beyond its culinary delights, Casa Maca offers a multitude of opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation. The hotel’s swimming pool is an idyllic oasis where guests can unwind and soak up the sun. Some of my favorite moments in Ibiza were those lying around by Casa Maca’s pool with the warm Spanish sun on my skin and a cold drink in hand. It is truly a haven for peace and serenity wrapped up in a luxury location.

The hotel’s secluded positioning provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Ibiza’s nightlife. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature and find inner peace. For those seeking a more active experience, there are also opportunities for guided hikes, yoga classes, and in-room massages.

A Paradise Lover’s Pick

Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat, Casa Maca offers something for everyone. The hotel’s winning combination of history, beauty, and exceptional hospitality made my experience truly special. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. It’s a place where you can fully relax, rejuvenate, and create lasting memories under the Spanish sun.

Las Mimosas: A Sanctuary of Style and Social Buzz in San Antonio

Located in the heart of San Antonio Bay, Las Mimosas isn’t just another boutique hotel; it’s a pulsating expression of the Anadon family’s love for Ibiza. Having grown up spending time at the original Las Mimosas with their grandparents, Christian and Alan Anadon (better known as the DJ Mambo Brothers) poured their passion into this complete renovation. Stepping inside Las Mimosas feels like stepping into a cherished family villa, reimagined for the modern traveler.

Serene Spanish Suites

Las Mimosas offers an escape from the island’s pulsating nightlife while remaining close to the action. The 11 junior suites and six spacious suites are retreats of sophisticated comfort. Imagine waking up to the gentle hum of the bay, then stepping onto your private terrace to soak in the sun-drenched views. My suite had its own private rooftop terrace overlooking the hotel pool, leaving me feeling like the queen of Ibiza every morning (as we all should, right?).

The neutral tones and natural fabrics inside the suites create a calming atmosphere, complemented by the thoughtful touches — an espresso machine for a perfect morning pick-me-up, The Grown Alchemist toiletries for a touch of luxury, and a Marshall speaker to set the mood.

A Symphony of Sun, Socializing, and Style

Las Mimosas truly comes alive around the stunning social scene of a pool. Here, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or Balinese bed while soaking up the Ibiza sunshine. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can easily explore the nearby beaches of Es Pouet and Pinet Playa, just a five-minute walk away, or venture further to Cala Bassa and Cala Conta for a day of immaculate waters and golden sands. And for those seeking a touch of relaxation and rejuvenation, the intimate spa at Las Mimosas offers a range of expertly designed treatments.

Las Mimosas aims to embrace those traveling for unique experiences. During my stay, I had the pleasure of experiencing the Beat Hotel pop-up event, which took place at the end of September. The poolside transformed into a vibrant gathering place, filled with the pulsing beats of guest DJs, delicious barbecues, and invigorating well-being sessions (shoutout to the morning meditation). It was the perfect encapsulation of Ibiza’s free-spirit: a fusion of relaxation, creativity, and social connection — making Las Mimosas a standout among the competition.

Culinary Delights and Sunset Soirees

No Ibiza experience is complete without indulging in its culinary scene — and Las Mimosas doesn’t disappoint. Their Italian restaurant, Mimo’s, is a destination in itself. The open layout creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for savoring a menu of fresh antipasti, handmade pastas, and pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven. For an unforgettable end to your day, head to the rooftop bar and watch the sun dip below the horizon as you sip on perfectly crafted cocktails.

More Than Just a Stay

Las Mimosas is a testament to the Anadon family’s ability to preserve Ibiza’s heritage while infusing it with a modern sensibility. It’s a place where the past and present seamlessly blend, creating a unique and unforgettable experience of both tranquility and excitement. What truly sets Las Mimosas apart is its friendly and attentive staff. From the welcoming reception to the poolside service, there’s a sense of genuine care and attention to detail. They anticipate your needs and go the extra mile to ensure a flawless experience.

Las Mimosas creates the perfect atmosphere for a fun and refreshing vacation, paired with Ibiza’s spirit of connection by creating moments to connect with fellow travelers. This unique luxury property offers a personalized haven that caters to your every whim.

Where to Eat and Drink:

Ibiza’s culinary scene has evolved in recent years, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and innovative dishes. From traditional Ibizan dishes to international cuisine, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Popular restaurants that we love on the island include Sa Capella, Teatro Pereyra, and Cala Gracioneta, among many others.

Sa Capella: A Culinary Journey Through Time

Nestled amidst the picturesque hills above San Antonio, Sa Capella is a journey through time and a testament to Ibiza’s rich culinary heritage. Originally a 16th-century chapel, it was transformed into a culinary haven in 1978, welcoming a bohemian jet-set that included luminaries like Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballé, and King Juan Carlos I.

Now, under the stewardship of the Anadon family, Sa Capella has undergone a meticulous restoration, preserving its historic charm while embracing contemporary culinary trends. The restaurant’s commitment to using the finest local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques is evident in every dish.

A Symphony of Flavors and Sensory Experience

The menu at Sa Capella is a celebration of fresh, seasonal produce. Imagine savoring locally caught seafood, simply grilled over an open fire, or indulging in succulent cuts of meat, seasoned to perfection and served with rustic accompaniments. A few of my favorites include the Sirvia carpaccio and Spanish Fillet Steak, served with farm-fresh grilled vegetables and rustic roasted potatoes with local rosemary and thyme. With every bite, a carefully curated explosion of flavors tantalizes your tastebuds, leaving you wanting more. The open kitchen adds a captivating sense of theater, allowing diners to witness the culinary artistry firsthand.

Beyond the exceptional cuisine, Sa Capella offers a truly immersive dining experience. Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants on the island, Sa Capella’s ambiance is intimate and elegant, with exposed stone walls, an original olive wood statue, and the soft glow of candlelight. The carefully curated soundtrack adds to the enchanting atmosphere, creating a perfect harmony of sights, sounds, and tastes.

A Culinary Oasis

Outside, the palm-edged terrace feels like a private garden, offering a tranquil escape. The rustic cocktail bar invites guests to savor expertly crafted drinks that showcase the same passion for quality and authenticity as the food. The wine list is equally impressive, featuring a carefully selected collection of Balearic and international wines to complement the culinary experience.

Sa Capella is a culinary pilgrimage. It’s a place where history, tradition, and contemporary innovation come together to create an unforgettable dining experience — and the wait staff is just as exceptional, catering to your every need and making you feel as if you’re a long-awaited friend stepping inside their home.

Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or simply seeking a memorable evening, Sa Capella is a must-visit dining destination for anyone who appreciates a beautiful ambiance alongside quality cuisine.

Teatro Pereyra: A Symphony of Tradition and Innovation

Teatro Pereyra is a cultural gem that has recently undergone a stunning 16-year restoration. As it reopened its doors this year, the theater marked its 125th anniversary.

This historic theater captivates audiences with its unwavering commitment to showcasing local talent and preserving Ibiza’s cultural heritage, which is evident in every aspect of its “dinner and a show” experience. The warm and welcoming staff, many of whom are locals themselves, contribute to the theater’s unique charm to give you an authentic look into the island’s culture (and if there’s one thing that should convince you to go to an establishment, it’s that the locals choose to work there and enjoy the experience themselves!).

A Cultural Renaissance

Teatro Pereyra offers a unique dining and show experience where guests can enjoy a delicious meal with each course being served throughout the performance. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including local specialties and international cuisine, plus drinks that flow all evening long. The atmosphere is elegant, inviting, and oh so much fun, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening with friends and family.

One of the highlights of the show is the opportunity to learn about Ibiza’s rich cultural heritage. The performers share interesting facts and stories about the island’s history, traditions, and customs, all woven into the show’s storyline. This makes the experience not only entertaining but also educational, and acts as a place where you can truly immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Ibiza.

A Night to Remember

My experience at Teatro Pereyra was unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. I anticipated a delightful evening of dinner and live music, but I was pleasantly surprised by the immersive and engaging theatrical performance that unfolded before my eyes. The talented singers, dancers, and actors seamlessly blended storytelling with captivating music, sharing fascinating insights into Ibiza’s history and culture, while portraying a fun and engaging 70s-themed spectacle.

The audience was actively involved throughout the show, standing up and joining in the singing and dancing of 70s hits from iconic bands like Queen and The Rolling Stones, creating a energetic and unforgettable atmosphere.

If you’re seeking a truly authentic and enriching experience in Ibiza, Teatro Pereyra is hands down a must-do. This historic venue offers a captivating blend of tradition and innovation, promising a night of entertainment for all. It’s no wonder Teatro Pereyra is a beloved institution among locals, and it has easily become one of my favorite recommendations in Ibiza. Whether you’re a music lover, a history buff, or simply looking for a unique cultural experience outside of the typical clubbing scene, Teatro Pereyra is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Cala Gracioneta: A Secluded Paradise with Oceanfront Delights

Tucked away on Ibiza’s west coast lies Cala Gracioneta, a secluded restaurant that feels like a world unto itself. Descending the steps from the winding road, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking vista — sun-dappled terraces cascading down to a pristine private beach and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. This is your own personal oasis, perfect for a day of relaxation and indulging in fresh culinary delights.

A Feast for the Senses

Cala Gracioneta is truly a feast for the senses. The open-plan kitchen allows you to witness the culinary artistry firsthand, as fresh local produce is transformed into delicious Spanish dishes. Savor classic tapas like Pimientos de Padrón and Anchoas del Cantábrico, or indulge in succulent cuts of meat and the day’s freshest catch, all prepared with the utmost care on the grill. And, take it from us, you don’t want to miss out on their signature Flao, a delightful twist on the traditional Ibizan cheesecake.

The restaurant’s commitment to using local ingredients extends beyond the food. Their innovative cocktail menu features unique creations like the Ibiza Sour, a refreshing blend of Spanish brandy, the island’s herbal liqueur Mambo Hierbas, fresh lemon juice, and cane sugar. It’s the perfect way to sip away the afternoon, soaking in the breathtaking views and perhaps spotting a celebrity or two (Cala Gracioneta is a favorite among F1 drivers, footballers, and world-famous DJs).

An Unforgettable Hidden Gem

The friendly staff at Cala Gracioneta ensures your every comfort. My wonderful waiter did an incredible job suggesting the best cuisine to try according to my tastes and recommending the must-try local dishes that ended up blowing me away, of course. While the food and drink are to die for, the astounding ambiance is truly the perfect side dish that creates the lasting memories. Imagine sinking your toes into the soft sand after a delectable meal, the gentle murmur of the waves setting the soundtrack for a perfect evening, soaking in the warm golden touch of the sun on your skin, and being surrounded by an elite crowd. Here, you really are stepping into paradise.

Cala Gracioneta isn’t just for casual dining though, it’s also one of the most sought-after wedding venues on the island.

I recommend ordering espresso martinis as you watch the sun dip below the sea, cheers-ing to the start of another unforgettable night in Ibiza with your favorite people. If you’re looking for the perfect sunset spot filled with your favorite indulgences, you’ll need to put Hostal La Torre at the top of your list.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a party-filled nightlife, these tips will help you make the most of your trip to this Mediterranean paradise (and set you up for the ultimate girls’ trip).

Tips for Booking Your Trip:

• Best time to visit Ibiza: The peak season in Ibiza is from June to August, when the weather is warm and sunny and the island is bustling with activity. However, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn offer a more relaxed atmosphere with lower prices and fewer crowds. For those seeking a quieter experience, the winter months can be a great time to visit Ibiza, with fewer tourists and milder temperatures. However, be cautious that seasonal venues will be closed.
• Booking your travel: Ibiza International Airport is the main gateway to the island, with numerous flights available from major European cities.
• Getting around the island: Once on the island, you can easily get around by car, bus, taxi, or scooter. Renting a car is a convenient option for exploring the island at your own pace, while buses and taxis are readily available for those who prefer public transportation.
• Renting a car: Renting a car is a convenient way to get around Ibiza and save time, especially during peak season when taxi lines can be long. Parking is generally not expensive or difficult to find. However, if you’re planning on going out clubbing at night, always designate a driver or use a taxi service.
• Book accommodations and restaurants in advance: Ibiza can get very crowded during the summer months, so be sure to plan and book your reservations ahead of time.

Tips for Packing Like a Pro:

• Pack for the weather: Ibiza enjoys sunny weather for most of the year, so pack light, comfortable clothing and don’t forget sunscreen.
• Plan your outfits: Coordinating outfits with your friends can be a fun way to make memories and look fabulous while doing so. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bold, colorful, and sexy styles. Helpful Hint: Use a tool like Canva to plan a presentation of your outfits and themes for the group ahead of time. This will help you stay organized and get even more excited for your upcoming trip!
• Pack the *essentials*: Don’t forget to pack plenty of glitter, gems, highlighter, colored eyeshadow, and statement accessories to add a touch of sparkle to your outfits, especially for clubbing (and all of your social media content, let’s be real). Always carry a fan in your bag to keep cool and comfortable during the hot Ibiza weather.
• Comfortable footwear: Opt for comfortable yet cute cowboy boots for almost all of your looks to fit the classic Ibiza vacation vibe. We recommend avoiding wearing sandals when going out to the clubs.

Tips to Feel Like a Local:

• Learn some basic Spanish: Knowing a few Spanish phrases can be very helpful when interacting with locals, and to also show respect.
• Respect the island’s culture: Ibiza is a vivacious island with a unique culture. Be mindful of local customs and traditions to ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience for both yourself and those around you.
