Ses Pitreras

Ses Pitreras was born when Albert Bui acquired a traditional Ibicencan house from the 1970s near the coves of Comte and Bassa and decided to convert it into an intimate boutique hotel. In love with the magic of Ibiza, he wanted to create a refuge that captured the essence of the island away from mass tourism. He hired architect and interior designer Joan Lao, who opted for a modern design in peaceful harmony with the landscape, integrating the original elements of the building and maintaining the authentic Ibizan spirit. The result is a hotel of only 7 rooms that offers the rural Ibiza that existed before discotheques and beach clubs.

Joan Lao transformed the Ibizan house from the 1970s while respecting its original structure of dark stone walls characteristic of the island's heritage. The design is contemporary, open and vibrant, with lots of small details that surprise guests. The rooms have a minimalist and modern style with a sober and elegant ambiance. The dark stone walls, unique to Ibicencan architecture, contrast with bright spaces and contemporary furnishings. The Mediterranean garden integrates palm trees, bougainvilleas, yuccas and pitreras (piteras or agaves) that give the hotel its name.

Ses Pitreras is in Sant Josep, in the rural interior of Ibiza but only 10 minutes from Ibiza town. The best coves of the west coast are accessible: Cala Comte with its legendary sunsets, Cala Bassa with its iconic beach bar and Cala Jondal. The Natural Park of Ses Salines offers flamingos and salt marsh landscapes. Es Vedrà, Ibiza's magical islet, can be seen from the nearby coves. The rural Ibicenco hinterland with its white churches and carob tree fields represents the antithesis of mass tourism.
