Fiesta Hotel Cala Gracio

Located at the end of a narrow road, Fiesta Hotel Cala Graçió has all the features of a quiet, intimate property: only 50 rooms, an adult-only policy, and direct access to a small sandy cove. However, it sits right next door to Fiesta Hotel Tanit, its large, family-friendly, and somewhat impersonal sister property. In fact, both hotels share the same grounds and Cala Graçió guests check in at the Tanit. The advantage of this arrangement is that guests have access to the facilities at Tanit -- including the fitness center, the restaurant, the pool, and the bar -- but it also means that Tanit guests (and, more importantly, their kids) sometimes get access to the Cala Graçió’s small pool despite the adult-only signage. Decor is upscale and elegant throughout at the Cala Graçió. The lobby area has dark floors that stand out against white walls, and exposed wooden beams that match the door and window frames. Clay artifacts and traditional Ibiza architecture give the property a strong local feel, but a few common areas have minimalist contemporary decor, and rooms have a cosmopolitan feel, with a dark brown palette and clean lines. Grounds are well-kept but with a natural feel, with tall evergreens, various shrubs, and lawns extending casually throughout the property and along the sandy paths outside of stark-white buildings. 

The property is located at the end of a narrow road lined with pine trees and a few homes and hotels. A small path leads to lovely Cala Graçió, a sandy cove that can get busy during peak season. A little farther away but still within easy walking distance of about 20 minutes is Cala Graçioneta, a smaller, more intimate cove. The water bus to Sant Antoni is just a few minutes’ walk away, and is fast, fun, and relatively cheap. Those driving can reach central Sant Antoni and the nightlife area in about five to ten minutes. Ibiza Town and the airport are about a 25-minute drive away.

The property offers 50 Standard Rooms, many of them with balconies furnished with plastic chairs. Decor is urban and elegant, with a dark brown palette and a couple of pistachio accents. Large, modern dark brown headboards stand out against cream-colored bedspreads over striped bed skirts, which, when combined with dark wood desks, make rooms feel slightly masculine. Upscale bathrooms have light grey tiling, shower/tub combos with deep jetted tubs, hotel-brand toiletries, and white square sinks over dark brown counters. Room amenities include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges stocked with water, air-conditioning units, safes, and coffee/tea facilities. Wi-Fi and iPod dock alarm clocks are available for a fee. 

The hotel’s pool is a small oval ringed by padded loungers and shaded areas with seating. There is normally enough seating for all guests, but there is nothing preventing Tanit guests accessing the deck, which can therefore be a little crowded sometimes. The restaurant serves an all-inclusive varied buffet in a cute room with exposed wooden beams and tables with white and orange tablecloths, and the bar offers outdoor seating overlooking the pool and gardens. Guests also get free access to the Tanit’s pool, restaurant, bar, entertainment program, and sports facilities. Wi-Fi is available for a fee, and there is no full spa on-site.
