Ibiza finest rural retreats

If you want to enjoy the quietness of a rural location but also be close to the amenities Ibiza Town has to offer, Casa Maca is a great choice. Located in the beautiful Ibizan countryside, yet only one kilometre away from the capital, this traditional whitewashed farmhouse has been completely renovated to offer eight luxury double rooms and two suites. They all boast stunning views over UNESCO's World Heritage listed Dalt Vila, as well as the nearby beaches and the island of Formentera. With an old olive mill, a great restaurant serving regional Mediterranean cuisine, a large garden and a swimming pool, you can relax in this hotel after enjoying the island's infamous nightlife.

A dream location for those wanting to be close to the most famous beaches in southern Ibiza, but also the island's most legendary nightclubs, Residencia Casa Munich is situated between celeb favourite Las Salinas beach and cool Playa d'en Bossa. Contemporary designed rooms and suites, individual luxury apartments, three swimming pools - one of them heated -, a tennis court, a fitness room, complimentary mountain bikes, sauna and massage area, fresh and seasonal cuisine at their bistro... you won't want to leave this hotel!

This stunning country house overlooks the rocky cliffs on the west coast of the island, between San Mateo and Santa Agnes. At this very well-preserved area of Ibiza, you'll be able to witness the true landscape of the island: local fauna and flora like the endangered sea falcon, nearby islets like Ses Margalides and Es Vedra, and scattered traditional farmhouses. Can Pujolet, a mid 18^th-century house, has ten intimate rooms, a swimming pool with jacuzzi and a bar-restaurant serving simple home-style cuisine made with produce from their own organic vegetable garden and olive and fruit grove. Unwind and forget the outside world here.

Conceived to shelter visitors in search for an oasis of peace and quiet on the White Isle, Ca Sa Vilda Marge Agroturismo is located inside a 400-year-old traditional farm in a rural area near the villa of Sant Joan. The hotel offers a true home away from home feel with only nine rooms, a large living room, a terrace and an outdoor pool surrounded by a large garden. Its rustic decoration which combines bold Mediterranean colours in the common rooms and muted whites and creams in the bedrooms adds to the charm.

Perched upon a hill over pine forests and looking out onto the vastness of the Mediterranean sea, the privileged location of this rural hotel in one of the most unspoilt areas of Ibiza, near Santa Eulalia, is just one of its many charms. Can Talaias was bought by British actor Terry-Thomas and his wife in the 1960s, and passed onto his son who renovated it to it's current elegant yet traditional state. Its large Mediterranean garden is a great spot for a late evening walk after having dinner by the pool. Just choose one of their six ensuite double rooms and relax at this spectacular piece of paradise.

A complex of small whitewashed buildings surrounded by pine trees on the paradisiacal island of Formentera, Casbah Hotel is the ultimate retreat. The hotel's white walls and wooden details reflect the Mediterranean spirit of Formentera. Together with the traditional patterned fabrics dotted around the common areas they create a cosy feeling. The restaurant serves fresh locally-inspired cuisine in the garden around the swimming pool while at their lobby bar you can enjoy snacks and drinks. Open throughout the year, in the winter they light up the fireplace for a true hygge feel.
