24 Hours at Giri Residence

A long table of reclaimed wood in the shared living room, with its fireplace and objects from Bali, Morocco and India. Breakfast is included: local fruit, bread baked on site, almond jam. Only five suites, ten guests at most, ten staff.

The Sant Joan market is thirty seconds on foot. Craftspeople, small producers, a musician playing somewhere among the stalls.

The outdoor pool is turquoise, framed by almond and olive trees and a pergola. No music, no waiters circling. Just water.

At The Giri Café, a three-hundred-year-old house with a garden terrace, the kitchen serves Mediterranean cooking built on produce from the north of the island.

The indoor pool is tiled by hand, tile by tile. Treatments are inspired by plants native to Ibiza. A jacuzzi closes the visit.

Twenty minutes through the hills of Es Amunts. On Sundays, drummers gather at sunset, a tradition that has run since the 1960s.

Back at The Giri Residence for dinner. Sant Joan turns properly dark at night, and the stars show up in full.

Natural stone floors underfoot, good sheets on the bed. That's The Giri Residence.
