Well situated on the Playa d’en Bossa is The Seahorse Club, perched just high enough above the beach for perfect views and removed from the folk hawking goods in the sand. Peaceful comes to mind. With it’s well styled space and bright colors, it reminds me of a quirky Kimpton property. Really, you can’t beat…

Cafe Mambo- Ibiza
One sunny afternoon, we tired of creating stories for the pool patrons of our hotel and took a long, hot stroll along the beach to sus out the bar options for the evening, including the “world-famous Cafe Mambo” and slightly sleepier, “world-famous Cafe del Mar.” A fan of Defected, I suggested to the gentleman that…
Montesol Experimental- Ibiza Town
The gentleman took me for a surprise stay in the Ibiza outpost of one of my favorite hotel groups- Experimental. He claimed it was a late birthday treat which felt ridiculous and wonderfully indulgent all at once.

Turning left into the cutest restaurant we could find, we landed ourselves at “Chic,” which purported to be a little taps fusion spot. We’d hammed and…

Tapas- St. Anthony, Ibiza
With the need for a pre-dance party fueling (because that’s what you do at 40, as it turns out), we headed to the best rated Tapas spot in Saint Anthony, the brilliantly named, Tapas. We set off for a long walk on a rather dark road and eventually found this beacon in the darkness. It…
Hotel HM Alma- Palma de Mallorca
We booked a trip to Mallorca three days before departing. We need a break and the cheapest beach flight that we could find would lead us to Palma de Mallorca and Hotel HM Alma. Only a 10 minute bus ride from the airport, the hotel was more than convenient and situated between two tranquil bays….
