Pikes Ibiza—Adults Only, Ibiza

Pros

• The hotel has a pretty famous reputation as a place adored by famous musicians, including Bon Jovi, Tony Curtis, and George Michael.
• Founded in the 1970s, the hotel still has a few nods to its retro past and follows a rock-n-roll theme throughout its property. 
• The garden is unique, with seating areas like hand-shaped benches and walls adorned with quirky murals. 
• There's always something going on at the hotel, such as live music at night, Sunday roasts, brunches, theatrical performances, and stand-up comedy. 
• Have fun on the colorful tennis court or dip in the pool, which features a bar and often has a DJ playing music.

Cons

• The decor is definitely unique and specific to a rock-n-roll theme, so it might not suit every traveler. 
• There's some form of music almost nightly, often playing until 4:00 am, so check the property's calendar if you'd like a quiet night or two. 

Authenticity

Experience the authentic Ibizan culture at Pikes, which features a sign reading, "You can check in, but you can never check out." Not a horror vibe but rather a bohemian, hedonistic vibe that channels Ibiza's history with relaxation, pleasure, and music. The hotel was founded in the 1970s and restored in 2011, maintaining the carefree spirit of Ibiza. Enjoy a place where musicians like Freddie Mercury, Grace Jones, and Bon Jovi have all stayed. 

Location

Set at the end of a country road, Pikes Ibiza offers a slightly rural location surrounded by olive groves and shrubby hills. Still, you'll be a quick, seven-minute drive from the center of Sant Antoni de Portmany. A 25-minute drive takes you to the popular swimming spot at Cala Comte, and Cala Saladeta is just 15 minutes away. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

All rooms at Pikes Ibiza take on a rock-n-roll music theme and blend it with the island's bohemian spirit. Though it might not suit everyone, the decor in each unit is quirky, moody, and/or eclectic, with bright colors and photos of famous musicians. However, you'll also find nods to the natural environment and property's past, with unique tiling, beamed ceilings, wooden furnishings, and antiques. If traveling in a group, you can book one of the two-bedroom residences featuring perks like kitchenettes, dining areas, private terraces, and/or whirlpool tubs. 

Other Highlights

Relax at the outdoor pool with its bar and submerged seating, stroll through the gardens and admire the quirky "street" art, or play a few rounds of tennis at the hotel's colorful court. The two on-site eateries serve food throughout the day (including brunch) and use locally sourced products. Throughout the week, you can dance in the hotel's small club space, Chez Fez, in honor of Freddie Mercury, which often holds gigs into the morning hours. Or, join the owners for a traditional Sunday roast accompanied by a DJ.
