What’s the backstory
The property was originally a quaint, slightly aging seaside hotel loved for its distinctly authentic charm and character. In 2019, it underwent an extensive refurbishment, courtesy of the prestigious Palladium Hotel Group. They transformed the place into a stylish epitome of luxury hospitality, with keen emphasis on preserving the rich cultural heritage of Ibiza.
From the onset, the BLESS Hotel has been a paragon of hospitality that seeks to expertly weave the vibrant rhythm of Ibiza into the very fabric of its existence. The Palladium Hotel Group's vision was not just about creating a luxury space where guests would stay. Instead, it was a conscious endeavor to create an immersive experience that echoes Ibiza's enchanting allure. Think chic contemporary design interspersed generously with distinctive island elements and an exciting culinary scene that captures the essence of Spanish gastronomy.
Price Range
Typically, the nightly rates here fluctuate according to the season and the type of room you go for, making it a versatile destination for all kinds of travelers. Whether you choose to experience their plush studios, sumptuous suites, or the stunning sky suites with their own private pool, you're looking at a price range that starts from around €250 and can go up to and beyond €1000 per night during peak season.
These include, but are not limited to, the dazzling beach club, tailored wellness programs, a tantalizing gastronomical journey, and above all, a glimpse of the unparalleled Ibiza lifestyle. What's more, the off-season months still offer the same level of luxury, but at considerably reduced rates, providing an even more budget-friendly option for those seeking an escape without splashing out excessively.
Amenities & Facilities
To keep up your fitness routine even on vacation, check out their fully equipped fitness center, replete with modern machines and available personal trainers. Afterward, you can relax at the world-class wellness spa, which offers a variety of treatments and therapies designed to pamper you from head to toe.
Of course, the offerings aren't limited to physical wellness. The BLESS Hotel Ibiza also knows how to entertain. The rooftop infinity pool, accompanied by a chic poolside bar, provides breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Looking to explore more cultural entertainment? The hotel organizes art exhibitions, live music, and performances as a testament to Ibiza's vibrant, artistic scene. And if you're traveling with children, they've thought of that too - with kid-friendly amenities and carefully curated activities to keep your young ones entertained while you unwind.
How to get to the BLESS Hotel in Ibiza
If you choose to opt for public transportation, you're in for an authentic, local experience. Once you step out of the airport, you can take the L10 bus to Ibiza Town. Exit at the last stop and from there, catch the L12 bus to Santa Eulalia. Rest assured, your destination is just a short walk from the Santa Eulalia bus stop.
However, taxis are readily available at the Ibiza airport and the drive to BLESS Hotel is approximately 25 minutes. It's important to remember that Ibiza is a busy island, especially in the peak summer months. Traffic can sometimes add to your travel time, but rest assured, your comfortable ride will be worth the wait as you take in the lush landscapes that this beautiful island has to offer en route to your luxury accommodation.

We were looking for a hotel that has a pool but is also not too far from a nice beach. The Bless Hotel has a beautiful big infinity pool where you can simply relax on really comfortable beds and order delicious cocktails and snacks. It is located a little bit higher, so you have a spectacular view on the beach and the seaside. However, at the same time you have a direct route to the beach which is 30 seconds from the hotel. So you can chose if you chill by the pool or at the beach. There are also a few restaurants/chiringuitos close by.
Apart from that, the hotel itself is very beautiful and very tastefully decorated. The gym has all machines you need and there is even a part outside (of course in the shade), where you can do your exercises. You simply feel well.
We booked one of the suits and they were stunning. You had everything (and more) you needed to fully enjoy your stay and relax.
Breakfast is another absolute highlight. There are so many different things to chose from, I think its impossible to try everything in a week stay. You have a whole ham bar (with jamon iberico which was so delicious), you have a great selection of hummus, kind of a tomato puree, caviar, a very big selection of different cheeses, cava (to start the day off well), a big bar of different cakes and cupcakes (sweets in general), delicious croissants and pain au chocolat, ...and the selection of fruits...and the taste of the fruits...AMAZING! Our little one was eating so much at breakfast as everything was simply so delicious. It's true that if you want to order something warm from the menu, you have to pay, which I think is a bit sad, cause such an amazing hotel doesn't need that. But I must say, as the choice was so big at the buffet, we never even looked at this menu, so it didn't bother us that much.
But all this does not beat the service at this hotel, starting from the concierge, helping quickly with your luggage and car (we even forgot some backpacks and he went back to get it for us), to the receptionists, the room service, cleaning staff and also at the breakfast and restaurants. Everyone was so nice and so attentive. With our little one it was not always so easy, we had to give him lunch when they were cleaning still the breakfast, but they always helped us, warmed up the baby food, brought us everything we needed, always with a smile, we felt simply so well taken care off, including our little one who had such a good time.
Which is also so great, as we couldn't really go out to have dinner, while the little one was sleeping, we ordered room service, and they always let me know via whatsapp when the food was ready. They waited in front of the door until we opened to not wake our baby. Just one of the examples of their amazing service...and we also got so many extras, like delicious cookies, and cava...
There are many beautiful hotels, but what makes the difference is in the end the service and the staff, and the Bless Hotel has definitely one of the most amazing people working there.
Thanks a lot for making our stay so great!
