Un-convent-tional beauty

Setting

Rampart-topping retreat

Like the crow’s nest of a ship, La Torre del Canonigo commands far-reaching views over Ibiza’s port and the shimmering sea from its Dalt Vila perch. Sitting atop an ancient Roman acropolis, this boutique hotel’s rooms and suites are spread across a made-over marauders’ tower and Jesuit convent. A swashbuckling hideout shares its sunset-oriented terrace with a Mediterranean fusion restaurant; but the real treasure in this tucked-away trove comes from its olive grove-guarded pool, primed for post-beach siestas.

Our favourite rooms

Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, centuries-old stone walls and Mediterranean tilework are a reminder of the buildings’ patchwork heritage. Storied sleepovers are to be had in the 14th-century tower, several of which come with sea-ogling terraces and outdoor soaking tubs.

Poolside

Enclosed by ancient stone walls and shaded with timeworn olive trees, La Torre’s pool is tucked slightly below the main hotel outside the storied Casa Puget, which was once a 16th-century convent. Sunbeds and pillowy loungers beckon in the late afternoon, and Ibiza’s pastel-painted Old Town rises just beyond.

Spa

There’s no spa, but the hotel can organise in-room massages and beauty treatments in its olive garden on request.

Packing tips

Raid the hotel’s library for reading materials, and bring some suitably bohemian ’fits to float about the Old Town in.

Out on the terrace, to watch the sun melt into the Mediterranean Sea.

Dress Code

Ruffly pirate blouses and long linen sets will serve you well here.

Hotel restaurant

Within the cooling stone walls of a 10th-century pirates’ haunt, Corsario Restaurant is awash with nautical references styled by Spanish designer, Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Deep woods, rope accents and billowy linens are a subtle nod to Ibiza’s seafaring past, as well as the restaurant’s marina- and Mediterranean-facing roof terrace. On the menu, chef Liván Valdés whips up delicate tartares, sashimi and standout starters like navajas de La Torre — razor clams with yuzu, ponzu gel, rice crisp and truffle — alongside theatrically presented, whole-fried red pez diablo with yellow ají sudado. Mains range from Formentera lobster with caviar to pasture-raised chicken, and for a taste of everything, opt for the Gran Corsario set menu.

Hotel bar

Peel back red velvet drapes to unveil speakeasy-style La Bendita bar, an after-dark setting for expertly mixed margaritas, crisp Spanish rosés and a well-selected cava list.

Spain

La Torre del Canonigo is stowed up high in Ibiza’s historic Dalt Vila, hovering above the port.

Planes

Ibiza Airport is around half an hour away by car, and the hotel is happy to help with transfers.

Automobiles

La Torre del Canonigo sits within a traffic-controlled zone, so you’ll need to find street parking and walk up (or take the hotel’s free shuttle).

Other

The port of Ibiza is well connected by ferry to Spanish hubs like Barcelona, Valencia, and Mallorca if you’re planning a wider itinerary. The hotel offers free transfers to and from the port.

Worth getting out of bed for

The Unesco-listed Dalt Vila’s cobbled lanes are on La Torre del Canonigo’s doorstep, and although many places don’t open until later, it’s worth a wander before the heat of the day sets in. Browse the boutique-lined boulevards of Vara del Rey and the marina district, before heading over to nearby Talamanca Beach for gentle waves and grilled seafood lunches. For beach day variety, Cala Olivera is a low-key, little known hideout backed by pine forests; you’ll need to cross the scenic salt flats to reach the secluded Las Salinas, a nature reserve-wrapped spot that stretches its sugar-white sand as far as the eye can see (keep your eyes peeled for flamingos).

Local restaurants

Dine alfresco at La Oliva in the Dalt Vila, where Mediterranean-Asian fusion dishes make their way to candlelit tables which spill out onto a cobbled square. Start with the thyme and goat’s cheese puff pastry drizzled with local honey, and share the salt-crusted catch of the day. Anchored right on the water’s edge, Calma serves up fresh fish and uninterrupted views of the city’s amber-toned ramparts. In the marina, there’s Zuma — a buzzy, sushi-and-sashimi-serving rooftop ideal for people (and yacht) watching.

Local cafés

Saunter down to Café Montesol (housed within, and just outside, Smith stablemate Montesol Experimental) for a hangover-healing brunch of chantilly-smothered French toast, Spanish omelettes, and buttery bacon and habanero-egg buns. Or, start the party early with miso-infused Blood Marys. 

Local bars

Kick your shoes off and let your hair down at Beachouse, Sofija Mehta’s sophisticated, seafront spot known for throwing full moon beach dinners, Boho nights and dusk-til-dawn DJ sets. A 20-minute taxi drive will take you to Maine, a late-night hangout mixing and shaking craft cocktails from its salt-flowers-framed wetlands setting.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this hilltop hotel in the Dalt Vila and unpacked their handmade espadrilles and artisanal salt, a full account of their White Isle break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside La Torre del Canonigo in Ibiza…

The sun-bleached walls of La Torre del Canonigo whisper of pirates, priests and island intrigue. Topping a turret which rises above Ibiza Town, this hotel has as much history as the fortified citadel it sits on. So take your time unravelling its many layers, and levels, which start with the Romans, close with the Jesuits, and have some corsair connections and links to the nobility in between). 

Its convent days may have passed, but this Dalt Vila address — joined by a labyrinth of bougainvillea-scented courtyards and cobbled passageways — is still blessed in many ways. Sleek yachts bob in the marina below, the sea sparkles beyond, and sunsets blaze across tiled rooftops. Inside, arched ceilings, warm wood, and artisanal textiles in tones of ochre and olive are a welcome sanctuary once you’re done sun worshipping for the day. And by night, candles are lit and iced herbal liqueurs clink across the restaurant’s terrace — which doubles as a covetable vantage point. Praise be.
