Parador de Ibiza

The Parador de Ibiza crowns the UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila after nearly two decades of archaeological delays and a roughly €47 million rehabilitation. Operated by Spain's state-run Paradores network, it is the 99th Parador in the country and the first in the Balearic Islands, set inside the restored 16th-century Almudaina Castle — a site reaching back 3,000 years through Phoenician, Roman, Islamic, and Renaissance chapters of the island's history. Its 41 keys come with an outdoor pool suspended over the ancient city walls, a wellness spa, and sweeping views across the old town to the Mediterranean beyond. Dining centers on Almudaina, a restaurant offering Mediterranean and Ibizan cuisine with a modern twist under Chef Adrián García Soto, alongside Pati d'Armes, a historic café and courtyard serving breakfast, brunch, and gourmet light bites.
