Casa Maca: Ibiza’s new winter boutique retreat

Bonnie Rakhit style traveller Casa Maca Ibiza trailer bbqDestination? Ibiza, Spain

Hotel? Casa Maca, a new boutique hotel featuring ten uniquely furnished villas.

When? October 2018

Why? Ibiza is known as Europes summer party paradise but each year the tourist season seems to get longer and longer. With the extended seasons now stretching to December more hotels and villas on the island are staying open throughout the winter. Point in case, Casa Maca.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, warm winter break, I would recommend small boutique properties and regenerated fincas on the island, such as Casa Maca. Keep scrolling to see the photo diary of my trip.

Casa Maca

The word ‘maca’ in Ibicencan dialect translates to beautiful, which is a very appropriate name for this stunning, rural retreat. Perched in the secluded hills of Can Palau, just a short drive away from Ibiza Old town and the airport, Casa Maca boasts undisturbed views of Dalt Villa (Ibiza Old Town).Bonnie Rakhit style traveller Casa Maca Ibiza swimming pool boutique hotel

Set amidst rolling green fields filled with lavender, olive, fig and almond trees the air is fresh with floral and fruit fragrances. A huge old mill stone is lovingly restored and displayed in the reception as a reminder of the fincas original use, it is a 300 year old farmhouse.

The Rooms

The property is made of only ten beautifully appointed cosy villas, each decorated in traditional ‘boho chic’ Ibiza style interiors. Many have four poster beds, chandeliers and all have private gardens and sweeping views of the countryside.

The Food

The hotel kitchen is resided over by renowned chef David Reartes, making it a destination restaurant in its own right. David’s culinary prowess is well known throughout the island, his ethos is very much about locally sourced, fresh ingredients and farm-to-table dining.
