Ibiza may be most famous for its glorious beaches, but did you know that the White Isle's countryside is just as beautiful?
From majestic mountains to fragrant forests and rolling fields – known locally as the 'campos de Ibiza' – step away from the coastline, and you enter another world entirely.
Over the last ten years, the popularity of countryside hotels as an alternative to the island's vibrant resorts has increased dramatically. And where there is demand, supply follows, with beautiful rural accommodation options springing up all over Ibiza.
These fall into two different categories: former working farms known as agroturismos and traditional Ibizan country houses that have been converted into hoteles rurales.
Agroturismos
The term agroturismo originated in Italy and was traditionally used to describe working farms that were letting out bedrooms to visitors. Over the past decade, Ibiza has taken this simple concept to a whole new level, with those who choose to dwell in the countryside discovering a new level of campo-style chic.
Hoteles Rurales
Similar to the traditional Bed & Breakfast, hoteles rurales are Ibicencan country houses that have been beautifully converted into hotel accommodation. All varying in size, style and amenities, some may have pools and feature their own restaurants on the grounds. While you’ll be able to enjoy a hearty breakfast, you may have to venture out for lunch and dinner; luckily, there is no shortage of amazing restaurants to try on Ibiza.
However, don't expect B&B prices when booking the rural hotel of your dreams. This is Ibiza, after all, and the peaceful sceneries, tranquillity, and country chic design can come at a higher cost than you might be used to.
