Hacienda Na Xamena

Clifftop Ibizan hideaway with to-die-for views

Hacienda Na Xamena offers a delicious slice of laidback island life. An all-white hilltop hideaway on Ibiza's north-eastern coast, this tranquil boutique hotel is set among pine woods overlooking a tranquil cove.

Know It All

Hit the spot
Perched on the cliffs near Port de Sant Miquel, on Ibiza’s north-west coast.

Come here for...
● The dramatic cliff-hugging setting and fabulous views. ● Na Xamena's trademark Cascadas Suspendidas – eight tumbling salt water pools. ● Jacuzzi tubs for two – on the terrace or by the window.

Amenities
There's indoor and outdoor dining, a large pool and terrace, plus the heated salt water cascades. There's also an indoor pool and spa offering a range of treatments.

Good to know
Beach bunnies will need to negotiate a steep path down to the rocky shore – if you don't mind climbing back up.

Pillow Talk
Bag a Double Superior room with a  jacuzzi bath next to the huge windows – ideal for contemplating those Balearic sunsets. We also loved the ethnically-styled Rubio suites with their steam shower and panoramic terrace with minipool, while the Eden Junior suites have a hammam-shower combo and a private garden terrace with minipool.

Eat & Drink

Dining in
Most guests choose to dine in at Hacienda Na Xamena, and there are some delicious options to please the palate. Catalan chefs whip up romantic sunset suppers at the gourmet poolside El Sueño de Estrellas restaurant, and there’s all-day dining on the sun-terraces of Eden, serving healthy Mediterranean pastas and salads. You can also munch on light bites while lounging on the Moroccan cushions of the aptly-named El Chill Out.

Mediterranean and Asian fusion dishes served at Eden include a local version of Surf ‘n Turf, with stone-grilled meat and fish with Ibicencan potatoes, or seafood paella.

Breakfast
Full breakfast buffet (payable) is served until 11.00.

Room service
Available 24 hours.
