The va-va-voom Vedra perspective
Petunia’s smart owners got it bang on when they purchased and redeveloped a clutch of 1970s seaside homes whose conserving grace was having perhaps the very best views on the island. Now unrecognisably revamped (and just recently ushered into the Beaumier stable), Petunia is the supreme Ibiza escapist’s dream. In the far southwest of the island, the roadway snakes and curves through the whitewashed pueblo of San José, previous Sa Talaïa, the island’s highest mountain, and around dizzy clifftops till all of a sudden, amazingly, shearing out of the water with all her 400 metres of granite may is Es Vedra, Ibiza’s magical, magnetic, overseas monolith. No matter the number of times you see it, Es Vedra makes your heart avoid a beat, and it is the view of the rock that controls Petunia from every poolside daybed, every bougainvillaea-clad pathway and every sparkling roof. However avert you must, due to the fact that Petunia itself is so extremely quite, with rustic, casita-style bed rooms and suites spread through stretching, lavender-scented premises and a majestic main finca where a cosy shop, bar and dining establishment thrum with doe-eyed fans (Petunia is adults-only and couples comprise most of visitors).
The ambiance here is unapologetically unwinded and visitors use swimsuits and bed room slippers to drift from suites to the swimming pool, where they’ll invest limitless hours checking out books and drinking rosé below the shade of a Panama hat. Bedrooms themselves are very comfy, with velvety linens, tribal artefacts and earthy-hued raffia baskets on the walls. Tiled restrooms, some with sunken tubs, are capacious. Offered the hotel’s distant area there’s a genuine concentrate on excellent food here and the 3 dining establishments– one upscale with a tasting menu, one unwinded with a pizzeria and a breathtaking roof crudo bar– leave visitors with couple of reasons to leave. If cabin fever does embed in, nevertheless, it’s a brief walk down the hill to quite Cala Carbó, where a low-slung beach shack– Balneário – serves the juiciest red prawns on the sand and where Petunia’s own dayboat can blend you away for an afternoon’s swimming and snorkelling around Es Vedra itself.
