WHITE IBIZA Journal — Go your own way

Go your own way – NCalma Hotels

Words Tina Browning

Three incredible Ibiza hotels, three completely unique moods and an open invitation to explore them all.

Ibiza truly does offer something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking serenity and sweeping five-star grandeur, the simplicity of contemporary design, or a buzzing, social atmosphere that puts you in the heart of all the action, NCalma Hotels – the powerhouse collective behind Aguas de Ibiza, Nativo Hotel Ibiza and Bonito Ibiza – gives guests from all over the world the chance to choose the version of Ibiza they love best when staying at their beautiful properties. And luckily for the delightfully indecisive, there’s always the option to hop between all three, sampling a little of each as you go.

The first stage of the NCalma Hotels journey began with a bold and beautiful statement. Aguas de Ibiza sits on the edge of the Santa Eulalia paseo, its 145 rooms and suites gazing out over the curve of the bay below. The eco-friendly, luxury resort – one of only two hotels in Ibiza to have been awarded the prestigious five-star grand luxe distinction – sets the scene for tranquil days filled with pure relaxation and luxury. Its interiors are bright and airy, with rooms and spaces been designed for lounging and decompressing from daily life, as is the rooftop swimming pool with endless views of the azure sea.

White Ibiza Journal: Go your own way – NCalma Hotels

This is the NCalma Hotels resort to book if you’re looking to really indulge. Heavenly bedrooms and expansive suites with private terrace – not to mention an incredible penthouse – and quietly luxurious service combine with the choice of four swimming pools, four restaurants and the world-famous Revival Spa by Clarins, where you can let the day-to-day stress of daily life melt away via a water circuit, tailor-made wellness treatments and therapies. It’s easy to see why some guests check into Aguas de Ibiza and never step outside of its grounds for the duration of their holiday.

The NCalma Hotels narrative continues just a short distance around the coast, in the surrounds of sleepy Siesta. The second property to have been opened by the group, Nativo Hotel Ibiza, was designed around the idea of conscious living, sans compromise. A boutique hotel where 99 wabi-sabi-inspired rooms, three gorgeous swimming pools and a rooftop terrace seem like the most natural extension of island life possible, sustainability is woven into the hotel’s very soul. Sunrise yoga, massage rooms, culinary concepts that focus on local, fresh ingredients and wide-open common spaces allow guests to slow down and enjoy the moment – this is barefoot bohemian living at its absolute best, but for those who want to dip their toes into island life, the bustle of Santa Eulalia just a ten-minute saunter away.

The most recent addition to the NCalma Hotels portfolio opened on the island’s west coast in 2025. The cool sunset vibes of Bonito Ibiza – a fabulously fun, five-star property – are just a short walk from San Antonio Bay and the boutique hotel boasts 252 chic rooms, plus a steady stream of glittering pools, a rooftop with some of the best sundown views on the island, plus a spa and gym to escape to when the highlife gets too much. This is island life at full tilt – music hums through shared spaces, cocktails are quaffed by the pool and on the roof, and guests take part in a programme of events made for the simple pleasures of sun, sea and fun. Here, you can feel the pulse of the island’s nightlife from afar and – of course – dip in and out any time you like.

The holy trinity of NCalma Hotels truly lives up to the group’s tagline: Way of Life. Choose your stay in Ibiza. And once you’ve chosen your favourite NCalma Hotels property and booked your summer stay, you’re invited to hotel-hop between the three venues and make the most of the gastronomic, wellness and entertainment options on offer. Whether you’re splurging on a stay at Aguas de Ibiza you’re chilling in the laid-back surrounds of Nativo Hotel Ibiza or you’re going full-glam at Bonito Ibiza, there are so many reasons to explore the NCalma Hotels universe, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Regardless of which NCalma Hotels property you wake up in, starting your day (after hotel breakfast of course) at the 1500m2 Revival Spa by Clarins at Aguas de Ibiza is always a good idea. Lounge in the spa pool, flit between treatment cabins and the water circuit, indulge in a massage or beauty treatment to have you feeling revived, refreshed and rejuvenated before the rest of your holiday adventures.

When it’s time to dine, the NCalma Hotels group have a plethora of options, with something to suit all appetites, across their three resorts, all of which are open to the public. Starting at the top, quite literally, is the culinary gem in the crown of Aguas de Ibiza – Maymanta, where the cuisine concept is all about elevated Peruvian-Mediterranean flavours, from cocktails and starters to raw dishes, grilled meats and sweet desserts. Meanwhile, on the rooftop of Nativo Hotel Ibiza, guests are invited to tap into the fire-forward cooking style that has made HUMO a go-to Ibiza eatery.

On the other side of the island, book a table at Cielito, the rooftop restaurant and bar at Bonito Ibiza, where you can watch the sun sink into the sea on the west coast while tucking into zesty Mexican-inspired cuisine – it’s the perfect pre-party destination. Wherever the Ibiza night takes you, you’ll be happy knowing your big plush bed at Aguas de Ibiza, Nativo Hotel Ibiza or Bonito Ibiza is waiting for you when you go your own way at the end of the night. The yin and yang of each destination – from five-star spas and laid-back fire-cooking to sky-high sunset cocktails – is all yours, on the same day, within the same stay… should you be so lucky!
