Can Curreu
near Sant Carles, northeast Ibiza
A tranquil and decadent 10-room finca with beautiful gardens and an excellent restaurant, perfect for chilling out with your partner
The northeast of Ibiza is so much more civilised than the
rest of the island, and this hotel - our favourite in Ibiza - is
the epitome of rustic style. Rather than lager and foam parties,
you get Moet in your minibar and aromatherapy oils for your
jacuzzi. With a glass of one and a soak in the other, you can (so
long as you get it the right way round) enjoy a wonderfully
decadent experience that's straight out of Dynasty.
But that's just the aperitif. Stay awhile and there's a feast of
pleasures: stone pathways lined with fruit trees, roses and cacti;
a field of sunflowers amid glorious pine hills; sublime dinners of
foie gras, lamb and fine wines; a serene pool surrounded by
hot-pink bougainvillea; speedboats at your disposal; and warm,
friendly staff. It's very easy on the eye and, despite being
first-class, is delightfully relaxed and unpretentious. The 10
rooms are spacious and stylish, with comfy kingsized
beds, private sun terraces and quirky details - ours had brass
bellows for the wood fire, a picture frame filled with sea knots
and an old-fashioned telephone. We loved it.

Highs
- Stylish rooms that are gorgeous to relax in, each with TV and DVD player, and most with comfy sofas
- Excellent and reasonably priced restaurant serving produce from their farm
- Lovely views of the finca's orange and lime groves, plus panoramics of the countryside
- Shuttered windows in the room - a cocoon of darkness at night; light flooding in during the day
- Close to some of the island's best beaches
Lows
- Despite there being a kitchenette in the Suites, there are no tea or coffee making facilities
- The WiFi didn't work in our room
- The music in the restaurant is not to everyone's taste: Indian chill-out and pan pipes
- You need a car to get around, especially in high season when taxis are thin on the ground
