The Travel Files

Tradition meets fashion at this intimate and hip home away from home. The Giri Residence is a small boutique hotel, located in the north of Ibiza (Spain), featuring five unique suites with a warm and inviting atmosphere to create an oasis of tranquility and comfort. This intimate and stunning hotel is set within the expansive countryside of San Juan. A private entrance at the rear of this 150-year old finca (= Spanish farmhouse) gives you instant access to the lively village via a small and secretive alleyway.

The front of the hotel is nestled in the lush surroundings of the Ibiza countryside. Each suite has an open air gazebo with a daybed and dining area, overlooking the gorgeous 15 meter long pool and the landscaped garden.

Comprising of five seductive suites, the former farmhouse has been superbly restored using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. The suites are creatively decorated with beautiful handmade furniture, pieces made from reclaimed wood and accessories sourced from all over the world. A good night’s sleep is assured in beds with a pillow top mattress, luxurious white linen and comfortable double pillows. The spa-like bathrooms feature a stone bathtub or double showers.

What The Sunday Times Travel Magazine is saying about The Giri: “Newly opened this summer, the Giri is perfectly positioned: it’s in the quiet north of the island, yet near enough to the buzzing Hollywood Mile to make nights out a breeze. The decor is Bali-beautiful: ancient carved doors complement walls crafted from slices of recycled timber and pebble-studded floors. There are just five rooms, so you’ll soon feel as if you own the place, and with made-to-order dinners (the staff will go shopping just for you) nibbled in gazebos in the garden, returning to your real home will be a wrench.”
