There

There
are two sides to the White Isle: revelry and relaxation.
Apparently you can have your cake and eat it – staying at Cas Gasi allows you to
experience both sides of Ibiza‘s
personality in one fell swoop. Enjoy the best parts of a
traditional retreat but without a rigid structure, giving you time
to explore the island, then make tracks to the multitude of
gorgeous beaches and thumping bars.

Tucked away in the rural heart of the island, this boutique
offering may be only a 20-minute drive to Ibiza Old Town, but it
feels worlds away from the buzzy tapas restaurants and speeding
mopeds. The family-owned hotel is a real home away from home,
making it the ideal escape any time of the year.

Bedrooms

There are 12 bedrooms each decorated individually with
thoughtful details and objects providing a personal touch. Most of
the rooms are in the main farmhouse, with the remaining suites
dotted around the grounds. You’re guaranteed a deep sleep (it is
possible in Ibiza) thanks to peaceful surroundings and heavenly
damask bed linen.

What’s for breakfast?

Guests can enjoy a bountiful buffet breakfast, including a
typical Spanish omelette, an indulgent selection of smoked salmon,
cold meats and cheeses, as well as the more wholesome options of
coconut yoghurt and chia pots. There is also a menu of tempting
dishes such as avocado toast, omelettes packed with whatever you
choose and an acai bowl that almost resembles sorbet.

How about lunch and dinner?

The restaurant offers a Mediterranean lunch and dinner menu, as
well as snacks such as fresh calamari that are available to order
throughout the day. We recommend taking yours by the pool. Dishes
are based on seasonal produce and many of the ingredients are
home-grown (such as the cold-pressed olive oil) or sourced
locally.

Is there a bar?

Overlooking the pool, no less, which couldn’t be more perfect a
spot for a cocktail. Come evening, drink in the golden hour from
your bar stool as the sun sets over the olive groves.

Amenities

Those looking for some R&R have come to the right place as
the hotel offers an open-air yoga
studio (with classes at 8.30am daily) and a Moroccan-inspired
spa
and gym,
as well as the pristine pool. Enjoy sun-soaked days lazing next to
it on your sunlounger as you gaze at the surrounding olive groves
and endless countryside.

Things I should know…

Cas Gasi is home to two charming dogs who will make it even
harder for you to leave at the end of your stay. It would be
advisable to hire a car for your stay (this can be arranged through
the hotel). It is only a short drive to some of the island’s best
beaches and 20 minutes to Ibiza Town.

Within a short walk I can find…

Hundreds of olive trees, as well as orange groves and organic
vegetable plots, which can all be explored by bicycle (available to
borrow from the hotel). If you’re keen for a walk, venture to
nearby Santa Gertrudis – known as the Notting
Hill of Ibiza for its quirky shops, bohemian vibe and
restaurant offering.
