The Montesol Experimental, in the heart of Ibiza Town, dates back to 1933 and claims to be the oldest hotel on the island. Now in the hands of uber-cool cocktail connoisseurs turned hotel and restaurant outfit, The Experimental Group, the hotel's eye-catching exterior makes something of a statement on the main square of Vara de Rey. Still a place to be seen - Orson Welles once stayed here - the hotel manages to retain its nods to the past, while being hip and on-trend - hence the Sabbaba Montesol restaurant, which blends cuisine from Jerusalem and Spain. There's also a terrific rooftop cocktail bar, with views of the citadel.
Explore the whole island from here - with its fabulous beaches, countryside restaurants and the Ses Salines (salt flats) natural park.
The hotel is in the centre of Ibiza Town, a short drive from the airport and with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants nearby.
By plane: there are direct flights from London (2 hours 30 mins), Manchester (2 hours 50 mins). The hotel is a 15-minute drive from the airport. On-site parking is €45 a day. skyscanner.net
Perfect for anyone with a love of style - this hotel attracts guests wanting a cultural break or those after the island's headier experiences. You'll love the elegance of the hotel and sitting on the outside terrace on the square drinking a café cortado.
Having access to Experimental's beach club on the island is brilliant; and if inspiration is needed, a personal shopper is available.

The spacious suites are top-notch and have a separate living area and dining room; great views of the town, or the marina too. We love the uncluttered nature of the rooms, the super-comfortable beds and the fact that so many of the rooms have a good view.
