Casa Maca Ibiza

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.

SUITE
Two spacious suites offer Casa Maca guests the dreamy combination of luxury and nostalgia throughout their stay. Decoration is typically Ibicencan, with classic wrought-iron, four-poster, king-sized beds framed by billowing white curtains and wood-beam ceilings evoking feelings of the past, while air-conditioning, LCD televisions, WiFi and in-room sound systems complete with USB, MP3 and MP4 connections ensure all your modern needs are completely taken care of.

Es Trull Suite – named after the hotel’s ancient oil press – is within an easy stroll of the swimming pool, with a charming, stone-walled porch area that is the epitome of Ibiza style. A spa-like, rain-effect shower and whirlpool bath big enough for two people provides the perfect finishing touch.

The nearby S’Estany Suite – named for the iconic nearby salt flats – is also kitted out with a whirlpool tub for two and boasts its own garden area plus a pergola in which to while away the balmy summer days and nights.

Each suite is the size of a small apartment, allowing you to truly relax and feel at home and features a sitting room with a sofa bed (for two), a safe for your valuables, a minibar with complimentary water and soft drinks, chocolate and a tea and coffee machine.

The expansive bathrooms are consciously kitted out with paraben-free, certified organic botanical products by Grown Alchemist, meaning zero impact on the local environment. A safe for your valuables, minibar with complimentary water and soft drinks, plus chocolate and a tea and coffee machine are the ideal finishing touches.

JUNIOR SUITE
Eight stylish junior suites – named for the famous winds that blow through the island at various times of year – are peppered across the grounds of Casa Maca, offering guests privacy and peace while maintaining a sense of space.

Rustic chic furnishings are a reminder of the hotel’s rural background, while modernities such as air-conditioning, LCD televisions, WiFi, telephones and in-room sound systems complete with USB, MP3 and MP4 connections allow you to truly feel at home. Each of the spacious junior suites varies in decoration, to ensure each stay at Casa Maca is unique.

All feature a king-size bed and sofa bed (for two), living room, exterior porch or garden area, plus a spa-like bathroom that is consciously kitted out with paraben-free, certified organic botanical products by Grown Alchemist, meaning zero impact on the local environment when you indulge in the whirlpool tub for two.

Pretty as a picture views make waking up in a Junior Suite at Casa Maca an unforgettable holiday experience – whether looking across to the famous old town, over the hotel’s shimmering swimming pool or out to the Mediterranean Sea and beyond. A safe for your valuables, minibar with complimentary water and soft drinks, plus chocolate and a tea and coffee machine are the ideal finishing touches.

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.

SPA & WELLNESS
Taking time out for yourself is often neglected in day-to-day living and Casa Maca encourages guests to use their holiday time for relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration. While the rest of the island is buzzing around you, arriving home to Casa Maca envelops you in a bucolic sense of wellbeing and peace – like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Here, you can feel free to simply just be.

Understanding each and every guest is unique, Casa Maca can arrange a variety of wellness offerings designed to help you find your Zen. For some, it’s an indulgent, relaxing massage or facial on your private terrace, breathing in the fresh Mediterranean air and enjoying the sounds of silence.

For others, it’s all about pampering, with the island’s most skilled hair and make-up artists on-call to come directly to your suite whenever you need beautifying. Inspirational private yoga classes immersed in nature, stimulating personal training sessions around the hotel grounds, guided hikes in the stunning hills surrounding the hotel – whatever your heart’s desire, Casa Maca can match you with Ibiza’s best professional instructors.

An array of healing and wellness treatments can be arranged on request and extended retreat experiences can also be tailored to suit your needs. All you need to do is surrender to the experience and relax.

WEDDINGS & CELEBRATIONS
The combination of rustic rural surrounds, stylish spaces, breathtaking views, high-end cuisine and an easily accessible location make Casa Maca the perfect destination for a special event, wedding or unique celebration.

Use the hotel as a blank canvas to design your dream affair, with an expert in-house events team on hand to guide you throughout the process. Events with authentic, Ibiza soul are Casa Maca’s speciality. Lending itself perfectly to boho-glam and countryside chic weddings, the entire hotel is reserved for you and your guests for a three-day minimum stay.

The beautiful space can be configured in a variety of ways to showcase the splendour of the setting – think canapes and cocktails on the upper terrace before strolling through the fragrant lavender fields to the lower gardens for ceremonies, speeches, feasting and dancing, all with the iconic Ibiza skyline in the distance.

For smaller events, such as birthdays or corporate launches, the restaurant can be booked exclusively or partially, depending on the size of your group.
