Es Cucons

Santa Agnes de Corona, Ibiza

Facilities

  • A true family business (run by two sisters and their husbands), which gives the place a lovely homely atmosphere

  • The small number of rooms (15) mean that the service is very personalised and welcoming - the owners know everyone by name

  • Peaceful setting and pretty gardens with endless plants and flowers, as well as a trellis over reception through which a grape vine is intertwined

  • All the small things: umbrellas in reception, a whole host of toiletries and slippers in your room, a library with books ranging from Henry Miller to Danielle Steel to Margaret Atwood, and a collection of DVDs for guests to borrow

  • Gorgeous reception area with high ceilings, squashy sofas, an antique wooden dresser, bowls of pine cones, Baroque style lamps, vast modern paintings and a boutique selling toiletries and beachwear

  • Spacious and attractive rooms, with their own outdoor space

  • The rooms and gardens are refurbed annually when the hotel is closed for winter

  • Popular yoga retreat: for 2 weeks a year the entire hotel is taken up by courses, most of which take place on a massive flat rock at the top of the hill with amazing valley views

  • Treatment and massage room, set in a separate building at the bottom of the gardens

  • Off the beaten track: the lack of signs means the hotel is hard to find, but this is a deliberate ploy to discourage tourists from dropping in to see the place, as happens at other hotels

When to go?

The most popular time to go to Ibiza is during the summer months, when it's warm enough to spend all day at the beach or by the pool. Hotels book up months in advance from May-Sept, so if you plan to come then, make your plans well in advance. However, there are definite advantages to visiting in the off-season months when things are quieter. In autumn the island is beautifully green and the days are often warm enough to go to the beach; in March, the almond trees are all in blossom and the countryside is stunning. The hotel is closed from November to the end of February.

Save to favouritesPrintMailEs CuconsDrive out of San Antoni and head up and up, around hairpin bends and through glorious pine forests. The vistas are staggering, the lush foliage amazing, in what you imagine to be a fairly arid country. Abruptly you plunge down into a valley - but this too is beautiful: craggy rocks, deep red earth and almond trees planted in meticulous rows. You feel worlds apart from San Antoni's clubs and crowds yet, unbelievably, you're only 7km away. Set back from the road and deep in this valley lies the charming Es Cucons. A carefully restored 1650s finca, the 15-room hotel is cosy and very colourful. It's run by two Spanish sisters (Maria and Barbara) and their respective husbands (Pasi and Jaime), and it exudes their own warmth: this is the fulfilment of a family dream. The grounds are spacious, teeming with lavender, geraniums, cacti and palm trees. Inside, the [r:IB002:rooms] are beautifully decorated, each with its own distinct design. Come with your partner and go hiking and cycling through the valley, then unwind with a specialist massage.
