The menu at this level is Spanish and brings in Ibizan favourites – say, garlicky prawns with smoked paprika, crispy duck rolls with a cherry-mustard sauce, smoked roast chicken with fennel chimichurri or burgers with Mahón cheese and truffle. on the top floor cuisine is more south-of-the-border with Mexican dishes to pick at and sharing plates (wagyu cecina with pan con tomate, short rib barbecoa with apple salad, roasted cauliflower with lemon cream and pistachio mole). Its look involves lush plantings, psychedelic florals, billowing curtains and a DJ in a dinky booth by a convivial bar area. The Ibiza outpost has two, a bistro called Jara on the ground floor, with windows that roll up to let tables spill onto Plaza Vara de Rey. If you’ve dined in a Standard hotel before you’ll know that they bring it when it comes to sexy, design-focused destination restaurants. The hotel has cut down on plastic use, taken energy-efficient measures and uses eco-friendly bath products. Welcome between November and April (on request) after that the Standard’s a playground for big kids, so it’s over-18s only. Plus, staff will help in whichever way they can. Two rooms have been specially adapted for guests with mobility issues and elevators (with braille signage) go to all floors. Usually we’d recommend more swimsuits than a Sports Illustrated mag, something flashing, something glowing, wearable glitter, flip-flops and flats, and maybe an actual outfit or two but, here you might want to up your game with flowy evening wear and a pair of proper shoes. And, if you book Casa Privada, you’ll get your very own treatment room, plunge pool and hot tub. There’s a gym too, with treadmills, rowing machines, free weights and more. The spa is small but effective with a range of pampering options, including some for couples. Or, book Casa Privada and you won’t need to throw elbows because it has its very own private plunge pool. It’s exclusively available for guests till 1pm so get those morning laps in. Poolsideįree spirits lithely and blithely flit about in the 15-metre swimming pool, set by the bar on the roof, away from the hubbub of the plaza and party-goers by its walls of leafy built-in planters and banquettes – perfectly placed for aperitivo hour as you gaze on the port. We like the Plaza Suites for their double-aspect views of Dalt Vila and Plaza Vara de Rey and the sun-bathed bath tub just steps from the bed and the Castle Suites, where the after-party will undoubtedly be, with their very own bar and extra space for stragglers. Over in the main hotel, rooms rock a similar retro style, with warm wood and leather, mid-century shapes, focus-pulling plants and sizeable bathrooms. You and 13 of your closest friends can skinny dip, shake up cocktails and enjoy spa soothing exclusively – and the ingenious layout (two buildings connected by a garden courtyard with the bedrooms at the back) means you’ll snooze peacefully too. Our favourite roomsĬasa Privada, just a door down from the hotel, feels like a slumber party with no parents around (and the services of a five-star hotel).
