Parco Ibiza

I stayed in one of the Rockstar rooms—part of a two-unit finca built in the traditional Ibicencan style. Located on the perimeter, this original unit had its own staircase and felt like a private little apartment. Inside, there was a comfortable double bed, a wardrobe, a modern ensuite bathroom, and a balcony. Thoughtful design touches were everywhere: ceramic vases, woven rugs, macramé details, and rattan baskets. The shower was heavenly. Nothing about being here felt like traditional glamping—except for the fact that it was a bit more affordable than the rest of Ibiza. It felt more like a relaxed boutique hotel room than part of a glamping site. Yet, once you step outside, you’re back in the vibrant heart of the Parco experience—surrounded by nature and a sociable vibe that’s hard to find in more polished resorts.

Parco organises weekly activities, including yoga classes, open-air cinema nights, BBQ events, and live DJ sets. There’s a strong sense of community, but you can join in as much or as little as you like—no pressure. There’s a small football pitch with a goal, a footvolley court, ping-pong tables, badminton, pétanque, table football, electric bike rentals, and the team has also just organised a kids' club. JOY!

Let’s talk about food. While we didn’t have dinner at El Patio, Parco Ibiza’s on-site BBQ restaurant, the menu looked delightful—featuring grilled meats and fish, homemade dips, warm bread, and vibrant green salads. On certain nights, the BBQ becomes the centrepiece of a group dining event, where guests eat together under the stars. We had breakfast, which was probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had anywhere. For €20 per person (children under 12 eat for free), you can indulge in an incredible assortment of fresh fruits, Greek yoghurt, and a homemade muesli to die for. There are hot pastries, warm breads, salads with mozzarella and homemade basil, charcuterie, coffee, juice—everything you need to fuel up for the day, plus fresh eggs and bacon cooked to order by the friendliest of staff.

The more places I visit, the more I realise that what truly sets a place apart these days is the staff who go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. It’s the genuine, thoughtful gestures and personal attention to your needs. At Parco, the team was nothing short of exceptional. John, the new owner from Holland, often accompanied by his gorgeous dog, is always around to answer questions or just have a chat. Marco, the former owner, exudes an Italian charm that’s impossible not to adore. Then there’s Samuel, tirelessly running around the pool, always on hand with a smile and eager to help. It’s these small, meaningful interactions that make you want to go back, again and again.
