farm stays
Agroturismo
As the name suggests they are part agricultural and part touristic. These farmhouses built before 1960 are located in the countryside and they carry out a form of agricultural work e.g. animal rearing harvesting fruit and veg or maintaining the surrounding forest. The minimum plot size of the land is 25,000m2.
boutique LODGINGS
Boutique Hotels
This type of accommodation is found inland and in Spanish is called turismo de interior. These properties are found in villages and were built before 1940. Some are listed for their historical-artistic heritage value. In recent years Boutique Hotels are often design-led with a strong decor theme. There usually have up 50 rooms – considerably less than large international hotel brands.
coastal escapes
Beachside + Seafront
A holiday on the coast offers stunning sea views, invigorating air and proximity to beaches and coastal attractions. A great way to explore seaside towns, enjoy watersports or take a sandy stroll along the beach. Wake up to the sound of the ocean, the sight of the sea and the horizon that sweeps endlessly before you.
sustainable stays
Eco-hotels + Sustainability
Agrotourism and rural hotels are sustainable by their very nature, thanks to activities such as organic farming for guests’ meals using local products, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing food. However, Ibiza also has a new generation of hotels built with sustainability in mind, implementing practices such as banning single-use plastics, prioritizing recycling and upcycling, and incorporating composting.
country retreats
Rural Hotels
This type of property was built before 1940 and is located in the rural countryside. Some were originally country houses later converted into hotels for tourism. The size of the land (campo in Spanish) surrounding the hotel will be a minimum of 50,000m2 which may provide a feeling of privacy and seclusion. Rural hotels usually have no more than 25 rooms.
