At a Glance

Posada del Faro feels more like a friend’s beach house than a luxurious resort.

Review

On a quiet street a few blocks from the beach, the white stucco building resembles the kind of simple hideaways that you find on Ibiza. There’s a small pool, inviting library and oftentimes no one at the front desk. It’s a laid-back place with simple rooms and few luxuries but the rooms are clean, and the staff—when they emerge—is friendly and helpful. Each of the fifteen rooms; most have small terraces so you can see the beach and some have fireplaces. Couches may be draped with white slipcovers and wooden floors remain bare unless brightened by a cotton throw rug. During the winter months, when the restaurants in town are closed, the hotel offers one seating at a communal table in the dining room. For those who want to be truly tranquilo, you can forsake a car altogether on rely on one of the hotel bicycles.

Note: As with all the José Ignacio properties, there are caveats. Those interested in a vacation here should first read our José Ignacio: Who Should Go or contact our Bookings Team for advice.

Who Should Stay

Those who prefer barefoot living to over-the-top luxury.
