The third-largest of Spain’s Balearic islands, Ibiza is world-renowned for its gorgeous beaches, picturesque towns, and raucous party scene. Searching for a stay just as eclectic as the destination itself? Look no further than The Standard, Ibiza, a hip hotel situated in the middle of the city center. Check out our full review of this high-energy haunt. 

What You Need to Know

The Look of The Standard, Ibiza

It's All in the Details

Housed in a sleek and boxy white building that used to be an old movie theater, The Standard, Ibiza simply oozes cool. The interiors are effortlessly chic, with soft textures and materials and a neutral color palette that evoke a sense of calm, but are accented by fun pops of color and eclectic artwork. Speaking of art, the property is dotted with striking murals by artist Nicolás Villamiz. Lush green plants help bring the outdoors in, while ‘60s-inspired touches, including vintage couches, add a fun design-forward flair. 

The indoor-outdoor restaurant on the ground floor has a similarly '60s-inspired vibe with orb lamps, a dazzling domed ceiling, plenty of plants, and a squiggly accent wall made of wood. The lavender-lined rooftop bar, aptly named UP, is just as chic, with a swimming pool, plush day beds, and panoramic city views. The 53 sun-drenched rooms and suites are minimalist but anything but basic, with retro furnishings and clean lines, all accented by colorfully patterned throw pillows. Select units offer free-standing tubs, Juliet balconies, and separate living spaces. 

The Vibe at The Standard, Ibiza

From its Instagram-worthy aesthetic to its bustling common spaces, this high-energy hotel is where people go to see and be seen. The property also gets increasingly buzzy as the day goes on: Come nighttime, for example, a DJ spins into the wee hours. 

Who Will Love The Standard, Ibiza

Trendy adults — friend groups, couples, and solo travelers — looking for a buzzy and scene-y place to stay in a super central location will love it here. 

Who Will Love The Standard, Ibiza

This property is adults only, so families will need to stay elsewhere, like the sister hotel Casa Privada, which is right down the road and has just 14 rooms and suites. Also, The Standard, Ibiza is not on the beach, so those craving an oceanfront stay may want to seek alternate accommodations.

Rooftop bar UP stands out for its refreshing cocktails (including a slew of spritzes), Japanese-Mexican cuisine (the menu offers everything from poke to guacamole), and expansive swimming pool. The space is open from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. and is a popular spot for mixing and mingling.
