Named after everyone’s favourite-smelling tree, Seven Pines Resort offers travellers a different side to Ibiza, away from the big towns and super clubs. On the island’s easterly edge, the clifftop hotel showcases Es Vedra and the sea at every opportunity – nowhere more impressively than through the glass wall at the infinity pool. When it’s sundowner o’clock, we can think of worst places to have a drink than the Pershing-designed, yacht-like bar and its sea-facing, fire pit-enhanced terrace.
Noon, but flexible for a fee (€100 for up to 6pm), subject to availability. Earliest check-in, 3pm, also flexible (€150 from 8am) if your room’s ready.
Rates
Double rooms from $248.40 (€224), excluding tax at 10 per cent. Please note the hotel charges an additional local city tax of €4.40 per person per night on check-out.
More details
Rates usually include breakfast.
Also
The minibars are actually ‘House Bars’: an in-room cocktail corner with an ice machine, mixers and a garnish-filled fridge (mint, lime, sugar cane, salt and soft drinks).
Please note
From 5-18 October 2019, the Seven Pines spa, sauna, steam room and hair salon will be closed for refurbishment. The hotel will be offering a limited menu of in-room spa treatments (massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and blow-dries) as well as free morning group fitness classes. Don't worry – they're beautifying quietly and there won't be any loud construction noises.
At the hotel
Free WiFi throughout, gym, free valet parking. In rooms: beach bag, free bottled water, tea and coffee, air-conditioning, flatscreen TV, Bluetooth sound-system and Molton Brown bath products.
Our favourite rooms
If spying the island’s famous sunsets is top of your agenda, it has to be a perfectly positioned Cliff Suite, which are also the most secluded. For groups, opt for a two-bed option, or book out one of the four-room Ibizan buildings in its entirety for your own family finca. The Laguna Suites are fantastic for families, but – since they’re right in the centre of the resort, and by the children’s pool – not the quietest.
Poolside
There are two main pools around the resort. The lengthy, Es Vedra-facing infinity pool is adults-only and has an eight-metre glass wall to best showcase the sea. The Laguna Pool is surrounded by the Laguna Suites, shallower and frequented by families.
Spa
Fringed by fragrant pines and overlooking the sea, the Pure Seven Spa is arguably the feather in the hotel’s hat. Spread over 1,500sq m, this state-of-the-art facility is staffed by a small army of therapists with wide-ranging specialities – something that’s all too clear once you see the length of the treatment list. Borrowing from ancient medicine and cutting-edge science alike, the menu is inspired by wellness traditions from across the globe, incorporating Maya, Indian Ayurveda, Chinese and European techniques. Treatments are always tailored to the individual, and make use of organic (and vegan) products from the local area, including salts, herbs and citrus fruits. Alongside the treatment rooms, there’s a thermal circuit (complete with steam bath, saunas, a cold mist area and water bed); an impressive window-walled studio for yoga, pilates and meditations sessions; a hair and beauty salon; and barber services. Nutritional coaching and personal training sessions in the gym can also be arranged.
Packing tips
Balearic bronze needs bright white kaftans and fluorescent flourishes to offset it.
Also
Six of the suites are suitable for wheelchair users. Personal trainers can be booked and hiking trails can be mapped out on request.
All ages welcome, but one of the pools is over-15s only. Laguna Suites are best for families, away from the main pool area which has a more adult vibe. Babysitting is available with two days’ notice for €35 an hour (minimum three hours per booking).
Eco‐friendly
The hotel uses locally sourced, seasonal, organic produce where possible, and the kitchen’s induction stoves have zero carbon emissions. The buggies are electrical and each bungalow has solar panels.
Close to the edge or around the open kitchen up at the chef’s table at the View; and join the party at one of the long sharing tables at Cone Club.
Dress Code
Fabulous florals and fluoros to break up the whitewashed decor.
Hotel restaurant
The View is where breakfast is served in a clifftop setting with a side of panoramic views. Be sure to sample the outputs of the bread oven – you have until midday to make it out of bed. By night, this restaurant transforms into a fine-dining, Med-facing affair, offering European food with a Korean twist (eg: poached and robata-grilled beef tenderloin with barbecued mushroom and charred spring onion). Chilled-out Cone Club dishes up Mediterranean sharing plates with Arabic and Asian influences either indoors or under a covered sunset-showcasing, cabana-toting terrace; we loved the local mackerel with steamed aubergine, split chickpeas and dashi vinaigrette.
Hotel bar
There are various imbibing opportunities throughout the resort, but the most spectacular is the Pershing Yacht Terrace, designed by the famous boat builders and with the sleek lines and glossy curves to match. Torches and fire pits surround the outdoor seating area. There’s a bar by both pools – the one at the lagoon pool is open until 7pm, the adults-only infinity pool is open until 8pm – and another by the lobby, which serves drinks from 9am to 5pm.
Last orders
In the View, breakfast is from 8am until noon, and dinner from 8pm until 12.30am. Cone Club is open from noon until 12.30am.
The hotel is in eastern Ibiza, away from the buzz of the big towns and with the uninterrupted views to match.
Planes
The island’s main aviation hub, Eivissa Airport, is 22 kilometres away; the drive should take around 25 minutes. Hotel transfers can be arranged for €105 each way (€130 in July and August).
Automobiles
The closest town is San Josep, around a 15-minute drive from the hotel. There’s free valet parking when you arrive.
Other
Yacht-based transfers can be arranged on request.
Worth getting out of bed for
Your first stop should be the stellar spa, but if your relaxation levels have peaked, the hotel can arrange cross-country biking, swims in the sea and watersports including stand-up paddle-boarding, water-skiing and sailing. Hike to local beauty spots and beaches (Torre Rovida, Cala Comta, Cala Escondida, Sa Figuera Borda), ride a buggy or quad bike up and down the east coast, take an e-bike to Torre Robira, or go cliff-diving if you’re in need of an adrenalin fix. Meditation and private picnics are more low-key ways to pass the time. The concierge will gladly craft itineraries taking in diving, beach-hopping, yacht excursions and more. Head to Ibiza Town to explore Dalt Vila (which translates as ‘Upper Town’), the Unesco-protected part of the city and Ibiza Puerto’s shop-dotted marina. Be sure to get back to the hotel before sundown to secure a perch with the clearest view of mystical isle Es Vedrà.
Local restaurants
The resort's twin Mediterranean restaurants have the double-whammy appeal of being close to your room and serving up delicious dishes with a side of view. Further afield (around a 40-minute drive away), in a historic house with a courtyard and street-side tables, Ca Na Ribes has been serving Ibizan food since 1926 (with the trad decor to match); it’s located across the island in Santa Eulalia. A similar distance away is the breezy beach club Sa Punta, near Cala Talamanca, where perfect steaks, salsa verde and crispy chips can be washed down with jugs of sangria. In Eivissa, try the old-school seafood specialists Ca N’Alfredo.
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 resort hotel in Spain and unpacked their Day-Glo and glow sticks, a full account of their island break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Seven Pines Resort in Ibiza…
The pine-scented (and -surrounded) Seven Pines Resort is a fragrant alternative to the showier side of Ibiza, away from the big towns and sprawling across its own peaceful, cliff-edge patch. Es Vedra is watching you – the island’s iconic offshore rocky landmass is visible from various vantage points throughout the hotel. The rooms cater to every kind of traveller, whether you’ve got mini Smiths in tow and need somewhere happy to host raucous, rowdy behaviour (try the Laguna Suites, set around the family-friendly pool). If it’s the adults in your party most likely to be causing a disturbance, go for one of the Cliff Suites, so you’re suitably sequestered from other guests – it’s just you and the sea, and she’s not going to be complaining. The eating options are varied should you want to stay put; otherwise, it’s a short drive across the island to a breezy beach club or slick restaurant. Fun fact: the bar is the first one ever on dry land designed by luxury boat builders Pershing

We loved
The cliff top location is stunning! The (adult) pool/bar areas are very nice and relaxing. Music vibe/background was just the right level. Very attentive sun-bed service and excellent food/snacks. All staff were very pleasant and eager to please, however their delivery was slightly short of 5-star levels.
Don’t expect
Exceptional food. There are only two restaurants (but they do have outstanding views - especially at sunset) "The View" is listed as a gastronomic experience - it's perfectly okay but it is not as special as it thinks. The "Cone Club" is simpler and better value.

Very attentive staff.

We would have liked to have a spa treatment, but it was too expensive! The tea in our room not replaced daily. Hat and beach bag was not in our room as per the Smith extra.

We loved
We loved the views, the staff, the food, the vibe and the suites. This was by far one of the most beautiful resorts we've stayed in – a stunning setting.
Don’t expect
Don't expect to be able to access a beach in front of the resort. You'll need to walk or drive (ideally) to the nearest beach a few mins away. The pool isn't heated so it can be cold first thing in the morning (in the early season) but it warms up enough by noon. There isn't much directly around the resort so expect to venture out by car to access shops, etc.

We loved
The pool is big and open with stunning views, but freezing The staff were energetic and keen to please. The room was huge and well-equipped. All our meals were excellent.
Don’t expect
Quiet by the pool – there was loud, Ibiza-vibe music all day and night which we found a little too intrusive. Perfection – the service can be enthusiastic but, at times, a little chaotic.

We loved the faultless five days at the resort. The staff were fantastically attentive, the food delicious and the rooms fresh and well laid out. It has a lovely peaceful feel about it and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely love to return.
