ME Hotel

Urbanizacion S'Argamassa, 07840 Santa Eulalia del Río, Spain

One of Ibiza’s best hotels draws a mature crowd who want to enjoy Ibiza’s glitz and glamour without the 5am bedtime. From its east coast location, in a secluded bay between the resorts of Santa Eulalia and Es Canar, it offers direct yacht access for those who are lucky enough and fantastic people-watching for those who aren’t. It’s a hotel that oozes genuine class.

Cool details and a blue and white palette capture Ibiza’s audacious spirit in a stylish manner, while thoughtful bathroom extras include eye masks, facial kits and French manicure sets, along with cutting-edge sound systems. Book a Bali bed by the pool and soak up the island’s refined bohemianism.

Service is a real strong point of all the hotels in the ME group but it’s particularly excellent here. Transfers from the airport are in white Range Rovers and you’ll find yourself being addressed by name by stunning staff throughout your stay. An ‘aura manager’ acts as a personal concierge, whether it’s a day on neighbouring island Formentera, dinners at restaurants that claim to be fully booked or fast-track club entry.

Spanish-inspired plates such as spaghetti with clams taste even better when enjoyed by the pool at the Salt & Sea restaurant but the rooftop cocktail bar is the real highlight. By day, enjoy a massage or facial with panoramic views courtesy of SkinC. After dark, enjoy tuna tartare in the restaurant and the atmosphere as ex-clubbers sip watermelon martinis and flutter to gentle lounge music provided by the resident DJ. Doubles from £377.
