LA TORRE DEL CANONIGO

Circled by the zigzagging- medieval streets of Dalt Vila- Torre del Canonigo is wrapped up in Ibizan history. Once a trio of 16th century buildings that have houses everyone from pirates to Jesuits- this boutique hotel has had a contemporary makeover. Inside- rooms and suites follow an old-meets-new dress code- where exposed stone walls and beams contrast with modern White Isle style. Think flowing fabrics framing restored windows- and monochrome detailing for a crisp- minimalist look. Many rooms offer beautiful views- but the rooftop terrace has a wonderful panorama - ideal for yacht-spotting after a dip in the pool. Once you have the lay of the land- stroll back down through the Old Town streets- pausing at one of the many shops or cafes- to step into modern day Ibiza. This is where characterful museums stand alongside contemporary bars- and drinks in leafy plazas are the perfect prelude to some of the finest nightlife on the island. If it turns into a late night- the Torre del Canonigo restaurant- Kyuppido- serves breakfast until almost lunchtime - for night owls. Or skip straight to dinner- for Mediterranean menus with a dash of Asian flair- served alfresco on the terrace. La Torre del Canonigo is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
