The hottest new Balearic hotels to try this summer

Following the recent announcement of Britain’s extended green list, many UK travellers will be jetting off for the only part of Spain to make the cut: the Balearic Islands. A number of laidback luxury hotels and locally inspired resorts are making their debut across the Balearics just as travellers return. These are the brand-new properties providing beachfront, mountain-backed and garden-enclosed retreats across Ibiza, Mallorca, Formentera and Menorca.

Six Senses Ibiza

Six Senses is making its entry to the Balearics this summer with the debut of Six Senses Ibiza. Set over 20 acres on the northern tip of the island, the village-like retreat combines uninterrupted sea views and direct access to Cala Xarraca bay with sustainable luxury that takes cues from authentic island life. The BREEAM certified resort encompasses 116 rooms and suites and a range of villas.

Guests can enjoy the first European outpost of the farm-to-table Israeli dining concept of Eyal Shani. The resort’s restaurants, cafes and bars will all highlight the organic ingredients of The Farm at Six Senses, which features a 400-year-old olive press, and the resort will pay homage to Ibiza’s music scene with its own music venue, Live Cave, comprising a recording studio, shorefront bar and lounge.
