About The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel

An Introduction

The name is a statement of intent. The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel u2014 housed within a reimagined golf country club at Roca Llisa u2014 is a design hotel that takes the concept seriously in ways that many properties claiming the designation do not. The 53 suites are individually conceived, with each space reflecting a distinct artistic vision; the corridors between them function as gallery passages showcasing rotating collections.

The project was conceived with the involvement of artists, architects, and cultural figures who share a genuine commitment to the idea that where you sleep should change how you think. It is an ambitious proposition and, remarkably, one that the hotel delivers.

Editorial

Our Opinion

Every element here has been considered from a different angle, and the result is a stay that guests talk about for years.
