Imagine a hideaway haven in the hills of Ibiza; brimming with authentic country charm and yet just minutes from all the magic and action the white island has to offer. Casa Maca is an intimate, rural hotel located in the peaceful hills of Can Palau, just outside of Ibiza town and within minutes of the airport. With spectacular views of the iconic Dalt Vila skyline – the ancient fortress walls, heavenly blue skies and the shimmer of the Mediterranean Sea – ahead and rolling green hills behind, it is one of the most iconic Ibiza settings you could dream of for an island getaway.
Fragrant fields of lavender frame the whitewashed main building, a 300-year-old former farmhouse that has been lovingly restored with respect to its architectural heritage. A preserved traditional oil mill stands like a work of art in the lobby, a nod to the property’s heritage, while a sparkling swimming pool just outside is emblematic of its future as a romantic and relaxing retreat. Almond, carob, fig and fruit trees surround the grounds, alongside lush Mediterranean flora – feeling at one with Ibiza’s nature is all part of the Casa Maca experience.
In the local Ibicencan dialect, maca translates to beautiful and there couldn’t be a more apt description for this unique Ibiza hotel. Open all year round, Casa Maca boasts just ten rooms to ensure total tranquillity is guaranteed for guests, while the high-end Mediterranean restaurant is open to one and all, meaning the magic of the location is never lost on locals and visitors. Colour and character is found in every corner of Casa Maca – a heavenly slice of rural island life.
RESTAURANT
The in-house restaurant at Casa Maca is a destination in itself. Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the menus fuse global gastronomy with local, organic ingredients - and none more local than those grown on our onsite organic farm. Hotel guests, islanders and holidaymakers alike are invited to take a seat on the bright, airy terrace for breakfast and lunch, soaking up the magical Mediterranean ambience and those spectacular Dalt Vila views. Breakfast is also served until 12pm, which for those sampling the island’s nightlife or just taking it very easy, is always appreciated.
Evenings are alfresco at the open air dining space, which sits right next to the farm and plays host to an impressive grill. Fresh meat, fish and farm-grown vegetables hang over an open fire. Diners relax to a soundtrack of live artists and DJs playing chillout music with a world influence twist while sipping on cocktails served from the aluminium Airstream bar. This space and its special atmosphere is evocative of the energy the island is so well known for. In the winter months, the restaurant’s spacious and stylish interior becomes the heart of the hotel, with an open fire and seasonal menus making it easy to settle in for an afternoon or evening of epicurean delights.
Open everyday from 8am till midnight.
Almond, olive, fig and locust trees are the native trees that can be found nearby the house, which is more than 300 years old and which has been rehabilitated so as to become your holiday destination.
