Weekend at Hotel Petunia Ibiza: Unplug, Take in the Views, and Live Well

If there’s a place that perfectly combines tranquility, style, and breathtaking views, it’s Hotel Petunia Ibiza. We at La Puta Suegra had the pleasure of spending a weekend here, and we can say it’s the ideal spot to unwind and soak in everything Cala Carbó has to offer. With a laid-back vibe and the majestic Es Vedrà as a backdrop, this place is hard to beat.

The Hotel: Simple with Character

Petunia doesn’t try to impress with over-the-top luxury. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that invites you to slow down. The Ibiza-inspired architecture, with whitewashed walls, natural textures, and Mediterranean gardens, fits seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The best part is the sense of being in a cozy, intimate place. No grand gestures, but everything you need to make the most of your stay.

The staff are welcoming and casual, without any unnecessary formalities. They greet you with a friendly attitude and a refreshing drink, setting the tone for what the hotel is all about: switching off, relaxing, and enjoying the surroundings.

Rooms: A Private Retreat with Es Vedrà Views

The rooms follow the same theme as the rest of the hotel: simple décor with a warm touch that instantly makes you feel at home. But the real highlight is the private terrace with direct views of Es Vedrà. You don’t need much more when you have that natural wonder right in front of you. Whether it’s morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset, watching the sunlight play on the rocks is unforgettable.

Food: Simple, Authentic Flavors

The food at Hotel Petunia is straightforward but on point. We tried both restaurants, and neither disappointed. La Mirada offers a Mediterranean menu with fresh, local ingredients. The grilled fish, in particular, is a must-try. Everything is well-balanced, with simple yet satisfying flavors.

Then there’s Los Olivos, which takes a more laid-back approach with Italian cuisine. Their wood-fired pizzas and fresh pasta hit the spot. Dining outside under the stars with a glass of rosé was the perfect way to end a day of relaxation.

Pool: Relaxation with Spectacular Views

The pool is without a doubt one of Petunia’s key attractions. It’s not the largest pool, but its location, overlooking Es Vedrà, makes it the perfect place to spend the day. Between dips, cocktails, and lounging on sunbeds, it’s easy to lose track of time. The calm atmosphere and the stunning views make it the ultimate spot to unwind.

Es Vedrà: Magic on the Horizon

No discussion of Hotel Petunia is complete without mentioning Es Vedrà. This imposing rock formation has a certain magic, and every sunset becomes a show of light and shadows that’s hard to look away from. It’s a place that invites reflection, where words aren’t needed—just sit back and enjoy the natural spectacle.

A Perfect Weekend Getaway

At La Puta Suegra, we highly recommend Hotel Petunia Ibiza for anyone looking for an authentic and peaceful retreat away from the busier parts of the island. This isn’t a hotel weighed down with unnecessary luxuries; it’s a place that focuses on making you feel at peace, with attentive service and views that are second to none. It’s the perfect escape for those looking to unplug from everyday life and experience the true essence of Ibiza.
