Pictured here is the home of Anne Sijmonsbergen, author of Eivissa: The Ibiza Cookbook, and her husband, René. This year, the destination draws another culinary import in the form of Nobu Matsuhisa, whose first European resort opens this month in Talamanca Bay, with 152 rooms, four restaurants, and a pool bar. Food here will range from composed Mexican dishes and Mescal-themed drinks at Peyotito to gluten-free salads and smoothies at Celicioso—and Japanese fusion at a namesake Nobu outpost.

Interior designers have often found inspiration in Ibiza’s sweeping landscapes and saturated colors, which makes for plenty of alluring vacation homes like this one. The most luxurious rentals are available through such specialized companies as Unique Properties & Events, rather than Airbnb, which has a corner on more affordable rooms on this island. But don’t overlook traditional hotels; promising, new options seem to be opening by the minute. The clifftop Seven Pines Resort, with 123 suites tucked into a handful of whitewashed bungalows, opens this fall with rooms similar to the one shown here. And the 38 sultry, gray-blue rooms at Sir Joan offer a stark contrast to the building’s exterior, which gleams like a tower of white Jenga blocks laid on its side.
