Can Xuxu

Top choice in South Ibiza


Owner Alex and his staff really make this luxe rural hotel, doting on guests, preparing homemade food and keeping things creatively stylish. It's set in a 150-year-old finca (estate), 4.5km northwest of Sant Josep and decked out with Asian inspiration, and there's a lovely, secluded pool area. For an utterly memorable stay, book one of the converted 19th-century Javanese teak houses.
