Unbeknown to many, Autumn and Winter are perfect for those looking to discover Ibiza’s unique identity away from the crowds. The island offers a year-round mild climate, long sunny days and with two new state-of-the-art spas, Ibiza has now emerged as a firm contender as a top spa break destination.
For a truly rural experience, Can Curreu is great for couples that are looking for a bit of solitude. The location is ideal, situated just outside San Carlos, towards the North-East of the island. Drive one way and there are forested valleys; turn the other, and you can see as far as Formentera in the watery distance. This rural ‘agroturismo’ combines traditional architecture with modern amenities and the surrounding orchards and well-kept gardens create a true Mediterranean feel.
At Can Curreu, the recently opened spa offers guests a range of facilities including a hammam, sauna, indoor pool and Jacuzzi. The treatments range from an Anti-aging Facial Lift to strengthen the facial muscles and combat the weakness of the skin to a full body Energy Ritual involving a full mud body wrap to re-mineralise the skin, followed by a relaxing body massage to nourish and loosen tired muscles. Guests at Can Carreu can also take advantage of the property’s own horse stables for a great way of discovering the idyllic countryside and nearby beaches. In the evenings, sample the Mediterranean cuisine of Toni Rodríguez, one of the lures at this elegant and inviting hotel or relax on the private terraces or next to the open fire.
As well as brand new spa facilities, the hotel also has seven new rooms, each with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with hydro-massage bath and a private terrace area with wonderful countryside views. Doubles are from priced from €220 per night including breakfast. Suites are priced from €295 per night. The anti-aging facial lift is priced at €140 and the Energy Ritual is priced at €160.
