Es Vivé, Ibiza

The perfect hotel for an Ibizan adventure

For those of you who skipped GCSE Spanish, 'It's alive' is the translation for Es Vivé and this three-story, art deco-style hotel certainly encapsulates that vibe. From the renowned, uber-chic 'Experience Bar' - showcasing the hippest DJs of the season - to the comfortable yet super stylish surrounding, edgy artwork and ambient lighting, there's nothing dull about this super-stylish home from home.

Situated in Figueretas, only a few miles away from the bustle of Ibiza town, guests have the best of all worlds, with beaches, shops and nightlife only a stone's throw away, making it a great spot for those looking for a quiet beach holiday with

daytime activities such as yoga or bike riding, AND those who want a party break with an energetic nightlife.

Surrounded by lush palm trees with a sparkling pool as the focal point of the vast sun deck, Es Vivé has 57 rooms all decorated with a modern minimal feel, the majority of which have balconies overlooking the ocean - perfect for entertaining friends.

Poolside really is where the beautiful people hang and you might even spot a celebrity or two. The glamorous Sunday pool parties are a must, with a delicious BBQ to fill you up before a day's 'Glavin' (glam raving) at probably the best club in the world, Space. The service at this hotel is exceptional and the staff are on call 24/7 to attend your every need. No wonder the world's most fun-loving people continue to flock to Es Vivé year after year.
