Take a refreshing dip or lounge poolside in true Ibiza style at Atzaró Day Spa
Welcome to my not-so-secret oasis in the Ibizan countryside: the Atzaró Day Spa. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Luxury in Ibiza without burning through my bank account? Yeah, right. And even a man will enjoy it!?” But trust me, this one’s different. I’ve been coming here for years, and it still feels like finding a bit of magic in the middle of the island. And the best part? You don’t need to book a suite to enjoy it.
Atzaró isn’t just a spa since it’s a whole vibe. Think lush gardens, Balinese beds, and that scent of citrus blossoms hanging in the air. It’s a hotel, restaurant, wellness retreat, event space, and yeah, even a slice of peace for frazzled locals like me who sometimes just need to hit the luxury pause button for a day. You pay a day fee (way less than you’d expect), and you’ve got access to the pool, sauna, steam room and that lush garden.
But before we get to the juicy spa stuff, let me give you a bit of the backstory.
What on earth is Atzaró?
The Atzaró story began in 2004, when the Guasch family turned their ancestral finca, which dates back over a century, into a unique agroturismo concept. Nestled near the village of San Lorenzo, in Ibiza’s quiet heartland, the estate still carries that rustic soul. The traditional whitewashed walls, wooden beam ceilings, and sprawling farmland weren’t scrubbed away for modern gloss but they were embraced. And that’s what makes it so special. It’s luxury, it’s farmland, it’s hard to find, it’s exclusive, it’s Ibiza at its’ best!
Over the years, Atzaró has grown into a brand that’s become almost synonymous with Ibiza’s more soulful, holistic side. They’ve hosted fashion shows, weddings, retreats, you name it. But what keeps people (lime me) coming back is the authentic atmosphere, the attention to detail, and that feeling you get when you sip a fresh juice by the pool and look around yourself.
How your day trip to Atzaró works
Booking your day at Atzaró is as easy as a WhatsApp message, book via their website or give a call so no fuss. Just head over to their official site or ring them up directly. You’ll want to book ahead, especially in peak summer when the island fills up and everyone’s hunting for a chill spot away from the madness. You can’t really find much information about day visits but it’s possible, so just reach out.
So, here’s the lowdown: you pay €120 for their standard Spa Day Experience and what you get is way more than just a quick dip and a steam. I’m talking proper luxury: full access to their dreamy spa setup, the pool, sauna, hammam, sauna pod, jacuzzi, ice bath (yes, it’s freezing but brilliant after the sauna), plus the gym if you’re a brave soul who fancies a pre-lunch workout.
You’ll get your own daybed to lounge on, a yoga and wellness class to balance out the indulgence, and – wait for it – €75 of that price goes straight towards your food and drink bill. That’s cocktails, fresh juices, and lunch in the garden, sorted. Honestly, as long as you eat and sip your way through the afternoon (which you will), you’re basically getting all that spa time for peanuts.
If you’re up for levelling it up, they’ve got deluxe options too. A massage? That’ll be €210. Prefer a lymphatic drainage massage or a proper facial with fancy spa products? You’re looking at €215 or €220. Still includes that €75 food & drink credit, the class, spa access – all the essentials.
Early riser? There’s even a Spa Morning Experience – same amazing setup but with brekkie instead of lunch and a slightly lower price tag at €170. They chuck in a towel too, so you don’t even need to pack one. Just show up and unwind. There are multiple options to your budget and ideas!
Now, a quick insider tip: Atzaró actually has two pools. One’s a smaller, secluded one just for hotel guests, and the other, the bigger one in the garden – is open to everyone, including day visitors. And let me be real with you: the big pool is where it’s at. Surrounded by loungers, cabanas, and that gorgeous green canopy, it’s where the vibe lives.
While the whole place leans adult-friendly (peace, spa treatments, soft music and clinking glasses) kids are welcome too. Just don’t bring the inflatable flamingo or beach ball. This isn’t the splashy kind of pool day as it’s more chilled, barefoot luxury than a chaotic waterpark or your TUI hotel.
Healthy & Tasty food options
One of the best surprises about spending the day at Atzaró is just how good the food is. You’d expect a spa to have a few healthy options, maybe a smoothie or two, but this place goes way beyond that. The poolside restaurant serves proper meals that are light but full of flavour, perfect for grazing between swims or after a snooze in the sun.
Everything tastes fresh because it actually is. Loads of the fruit and veg come straight from their own garden, which you can see and visit right next to the pool. I’ve sat there munching on a salad while spotting the same tomatoes growing just metres away. It’s that close.
The menu changes with the seasons, but there’s always a good mix of veggie dishes, grilled fish, colourful bowls, and fresh fruit platters. I love their aubergine with miso, and the citrus-dressed quinoa salad is a good pick on a hot day.
If you’re more of a liquid lunch type, you can have smoothies, fresh juices, and their drinks list is actually impressive. A cold glass of rosé or a mojito by the pool just hits different here. You don’t feel rushed, and the staff have that easygoing energy that makes you feel like you’ve got all the time in the world. Which you actually have if you’re here!
What to wear and how long to stay
Don’t overthink what to wear. I usually just throw on a comfy swimsuit, a light cover-up, and sandals. It’s Ibiza so there’s no dresscode!
Most people lounge around in robes or kaftans, so you won’t feel out of place whether you’re glammed up or keeping it casual. Bring sunglasses, maybe a book, and that’s honestly all you need.
As for how long to stay, give yourself the whole day if you can. Trust me, time melts out there. What starts as “just a few hours by the pool” often turns into sunset drinks and promises to come back next week. If you want, you can move from the pool to the bar for a drink and dress up for dinner at The Veranda restaurant.
Practical tips for your day visit to Atzaro
There are a few handy things worth knowing. First off, no need to lug a towel with you, they’ve got that sorted. It is a spa, so if you’re in the mood to really treat yourself, you can book massages, facials or other treatments, though there’s zero pressure.
Some mornings they also host yoga classes on the wooden deck surrounded by palm trees and birdsong. It’s usually around thirty euros per person, and only during the season, so best to check their website for times and bookings. If you’re going outside the summer months, just know the terrace restaurant might be closed, but don’t worry since the covered veranda stays open and cosy year-round for lunch and dinner.
Because Atzaró is an agroturismo, it’s tucked away in the countryside. That’s part of the charm. You’ll spot signs along the small road leading there, or just pop it in your map app and follow the winding path through the orange groves.
Oh, and one last thing. Don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of someone famous lounging nearby. Atzaró is low-key like that. No one’s fussed, and the unspoken rule is to keep it cool! Cameras away, enjoy the moment, and let the magic do its thing.
