A new retreat combining wellness, music and gastronomy has opened on Ibiza’s quieter northern coast. Nômade Temple Ibiza is located in Portinatx, around a 40-minute drive from Ibiza Airport. The 182-room property overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and offers direct access to a secluded beach. It is the latest hotel from Nômade, a hospitality brand that began in Tulum and also operates properties in Holbox and Madrid.
The hotel aims to show a different side of Ibiza, away from the nightlife for which the island is best known. Portinatx is surrounded by pine forests, small coves and clear water, giving the retreat a quieter setting. Nômade says its concept refers back to a period when Ibiza was a meeting place for artists and alternative communities. Retreats, artist residencies and ritual events will therefore take place at the property throughout the year.
“We are not interested in replicating the predictable luxury model that defines much of Ibiza today,” Miguel Isla, CEO of Nomade People, said. He described the island’s deeper history as one based on freedom, creativity and connection. The hotel includes communal spaces for movement sessions and small performances, as well as a professional recording studio for musicians and producers. These facilities are intended to encourage contact between guests rather than simply provide entertainment.
Nômade Temple was created by transforming an existing resort and preserving original features such as its arches and terraces. Ochre-coloured walls, geometric courtyards and North African influences are combined with Mediterranean plants and views of the coastline. Paths wind through gardens and connect the hotel’s restaurants, terraces and gathering spaces. The rooms use warm timber, natural stone, handmade textiles and large terraces to strengthen the connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape.
The hotel offers wellness facilities without requiring guests to follow a fixed programme. Visitors can choose between yoga, breathwork, hikes, movement classes and treatments or simply spend their time beside the sea. A dedicated Journey Designer can prepare a personalised itinerary combining activities, restaurant reservations and cultural experiences. However, participation remains optional, allowing each guest to decide how active or relaxed their stay should be.
At the centre of the wellness experience is GÖN House of Healing Ibiza. The word gön means “soul” in Turkish, while the spa’s design was inspired by Ibiza’s natural caves. Its facilities include hammam steam rooms, dry saunas, cold plunges and a warm mineral-water flotation tank. Guests can also book massages, facial treatments and other therapies in private treatment rooms.
Several restaurants bring different culinary styles to the property. TAVLA offers sharing dishes centred on charcoal-grilled meat, marinated seafood and seasonal vegetables, while beachside restaurant 4FU3GOS focuses on seafood and open-fire cooking. KUU JŪ combines Mediterranean ingredients, including red prawns, citrus and island herbs, with Japanese omakase dining. Omakase is a Japanese concept in which the chef chooses and serves a sequence of dishes for the guest.
Music continues into the evening at Dante’s HiFi, a space inspired by Japanese listening bars. These venues focus on high-quality sound and careful listening, often using vinyl records instead of a conventional nightclub DJ set. Guests can listen to selected music while having cocktails in a more intimate environment. Together with the recording studio and artist residencies, the bar makes music an active part of the hotel’s identity.
The hotel says it works with local fishermen, growers and producers to reduce the environmental impact of its restaurants. A dedicated environmental, social and governance team also oversees energy efficiency, waste reduction and the protection of nearby ecosystems. From Portinatx, guests can explore northern Ibiza’s beaches, coves and hiking routes. The whitewashed village of San Juan, known for its bohemian Sunday market, is around ten minutes away by car.
