Jardines De Palerm

San José is one of Ibiza’s best kept secrets. The historic village and rolling hills and farmland have remained largely unchanged for many years, giving the area a tranquil and nostalgic feel. Nestled within this pastoral idyll beneath the island’s tallest peak lies the beautiful Ibiza boutique hotel Jardines De Palerm, a 17th century finca steeped in history and beautifully restored providing the perfect balance between authentic charm and modern luxury. Originally established in the 1940s by a famous Austrian artist, this finca gained an early reputation for exuberant hedonism but has since reverted to a space for relaxation, escape and to enjoy the serenity of the simple life.

As you walk through the gates of this Ibiza boutique hotel each step takes you closer to nature, closer to inner peace and further away from the noise of the outside world. The beautiful landscaping and terraced gardens are awash with a staggering variety of plants and trees providing a veritable smorgasbord of natural sights, sounds and smells. While the building itself retains its centuries old charm the renovations and decorations have been executed sympathetically to ensure the heart of Jardines De Palerm remains sincere, and to the highest standards delivering the finest in modern creature comforts. Each of the nine luxurious rooms have been individually designed giving each its own unique feel and atmosphere. They all offer a large living space, elegant ensuite amenities and luxurious fixtures and fittings.

At Jardines De Palerm there are a choice of two beautiful pools, one with expansive sea views and the other nestled in a shady corner with dappled sunlight flickering through the gently swaying palm fronds above. While the latter has a more ‘tucked-away’ feel they are both equally as private and secluded. Weather you prefer to spend you lounging hours engrossed in a book, chatting with friends or simply floating in the sun it will be hard to tear yourselves away from these poolside spots to explore the rest of the island, and to be fair there isn’t much reason to leave this Ibiza boutique hotel. If perhaps you are looking for something slightly more energetic then why not join one of the private or group yoga sessions on the bespoke deck or enjoy a relaxing massage or revitalising sound bath.

If you do feel like leaving for a while, some of Ibiza’s most picturesque beaches with stunning views to Es Vedrá are only a 10-minute drive away and the shopping and nightlife capital Ibiza is only 20 minutes away. With your daytime activities taken care of you are sure to have worked up an appetite. Luckily the gardens of this Ibiza boutique hotel are also home to Casa Linda, a divine dining destination with a rustic twist. Traditional Mediterranean cuisine highlighting local, seasonal ingredients served in the most stunning of settings. Jardines De Palerm is a place where the finest cuisine and the beautifully serene intertwine to create a truly unforgettable escape.
