Parador de Ibiza

The Hotel

The colourful and monumental Parador de Ibiza (or Eivissa as its known locally) opened in March 2026 after a very long conversion and renovation project, forming a beautiful place to stay within an iconic fortress.

During the adaptation of the original castle, many archaeological finds have been retained and are on display for visitors to enjoy, and the Parador has made much of this, so that people can get an excellent feel for the original construction of the buildings, and that this heritage is not lost.

Some of the original construction dates back to the 1100s and 1200s, although the castle as it stands today mainly dates back to the 16th century when King Felipe II commissioned the construction of the main castle that you can now see, with additional works carried out over the following centuries. Ibiza was founded by the Phoenicians, subsumed into the Moorish control of Spain (Al Andaluz), and later came under the jurisdiction of several dominant (Christian) regions, providing the city with a diverse range of architectural design, predominantly of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets in the old quarter.

The Parador de Ibiza (and the castle which it occupies) stands in a majestic position in the upper town (the ‘’Dalt Vila’’ district was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999). Located next to the Cathedral, it looks down onto the old city, marina, port and the coast below. From here you can enjoy the most stunning views, and the walk down into the Old Town through the very attractive old streets is a wonderful experience. The city is large enough to explore over several days, and the mild winter climate, combined with the hot but not excessive summer temperatures, makes this a destination that can appeal to most people all year round. Ibiza famous for its sailing and regattas, and has a stunning coastline with endless beaches.

The Parador de Ibiza has 70 bedrooms with all the usual comforts that you would expect from a Parador. Many bedrooms enjoy wonderful views of the

Local Area

Ibiza has been known for many years as a popular holiday spot thanks to its good weather, wonderful, clear waters and relatively easy access to the island's airport and ferries from the mainland.

Perhaps in the last 20 years known more for its buzzing nightlife and music scene, but recently more and more visitors to Ibiza are discovering the more peaceful and cultural nature of this beautiful island. In addition to its magnificent coastline, the quieter towns and the capital of Ibiza Town and its historic Dalt Vila offer plenty of opportunities to explore more of the island's cultural heritage through its historic buildings, museums and churches. The winding streets of Dalt Vila are filled with cafes and restaurants offering typical local fare, and wonderful views of the sea and harbour greet you around each corner. Of an evening, why not make your way down to the harbour and enjoy a drink?

One of the island's biggest attractions

Those looking for a longer break could enjoy a spot of island-hopping with ferries connecting Ibiza, Mallorca, Formentera and Menorca across various routes. Whilst Ibiza remains the only Parador on the islands for the time being, we do also work with European hotels across the other islands.
