OKU Ibiza: A Bohemian Luxury Resort with a Cool Vibe
189 Rooms & Suites | 2 Pools | Private Pool Suites | 2 Restaurants | 2 Bars | Gym
Located on Ibiza’s west coast near Sant Antoni, OKU Ibiza captures the island’s bohemian essence while offering an upscale escape for travelers seeking laid-back luxury and embracing the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy.
With 189 rooms, including 33 suites and a four-bedroom villa, OKU Ibiza delivers an aesthetic that feels both organic and refined. The interiors celebrate earthy tones, exposed concrete walls, and rainforest showers, creating a connection with the surrounding Balearic landscape. Some rooms offer swim-up access to private pools, while others boast spacious terraces with serene views. The architectural design incorporates oak, rattan, hessian, and stone, reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to a natural, unpretentious elegance. Eight of the rooms have adapted bathrooms for guests with mobility needs, ensuring accessibility without compromising style.
The atmosphere at OKU Ibiza reflects the free-spirited 1970s when the island was a hidden retreat for artists and musicians. Handwoven chairs crafted by artisans in Papua New Guinea, alongside sculptures by American artist Steve Tepas, add a touch of cultural artistry to the space. The hotel is home to the largest pool in Ibiza, offering a perfect setting for a refreshing morning swim or a lazy afternoon under the Mediterranean sun. Guests can also enjoy daily yoga sessions on the rooftop or work out at the hotel’s state-of-the-art NOHrD gym, which prioritizes eco-conscious fitness equipment.
OKU Ibiza's two restaurants celebrate global flavors, blending Japanese, South American, and Mediterranean cuisine. One of the kitchens is led by a former Sushisamba chef, offering expertly crafted sushi and grilled seafood, while the other serves seasonal Mediterranean dishes with subtle Asian influences. The organic juice bar is an ideal stop for a mid-day energy boost, while the hotel’s bar serves expertly crafted cocktails as the sun sets.
In terms of sustainability, OKU Ibiza incorporates a food composting system to reduce waste, while greywater filtration allows for eco-friendly irrigation of the lush grounds. The energy-efficient air conditioning system repurposes extracted moisture, minimizing environmental impact. Guests will find organic bathroom amenities, and the hotel makes a conscious effort to partner with local brands.
Nature lovers can embark on scenic hiking excursions, while food enthusiasts can participate in a sashimi-making masterclass. The hotel also organizes private boat trips, taking guests to Formentera National Park and the enchanting Es Vedrà outcrop, one of Ibiza’s most mystical landmarks. A sake-tasting experience introduces visitors to the delicate craftsmanship behind traditional Japanese rice wine. For those inspired by Ibiza’s legendary music scene, OKU Ibiza even offers private DJ lessons, where guests can learn beatmatching, phrasing, and transitions—no prior experience needed.
