Live the good life in Spain, the South European country that boasts a rich and intricate culture with a country more diverse than you ever imagined. From its white-sand beaches to its historical cities and all-around great weather, Spain is the escape you’ve been looking for.

While it’s famous for its delicious food, fantastic hospitality and mesmerizing scenes, Spain is also a great destination for those looking to splurge and live the high life. We’ve highlighted the five best luxury hotels and resorts to visit from the tranquility of the Canary Islands to the party-fuelled city, Ibiza.

Lani’s Suites De Luxe (Lanzarote)

Lanzarote is arguably the most famous and appealing of the Canary Islands, known for capturing most travelers with its otherworldly landscapes, including 300 volcanic cones. This incredible hotel sits atop a cliff overlooking the bay, and is situated just beyond the bustling Avenida de las Playas. Guests will be greeted with a glass of Blanc de Blancs Cava before taking a dip in the infinity pool that is suspended over the cliff.

We suggest booking a seafront suite for the most opulent experience in this stunning stretch of coast in Spain.

Soho House Barcelona (Barcelona)

For the art and architecture lovers who enjoy the finer things in life, it doesn’t get any better than Soho House Barcelona. Guests will find many pleasant surprises including close proximity to the bustling center of Barcelona and on the quiet Placa del Duc de Medinaceli. Enjoy an authentic Spanish experience including a taste of its culture, the food and of course, the beautiful surroundings. Among its facilities, Soho House boasts a cinema, a spa, a pool, and, if you are not tired after venturing around Barcelona, a fitness center.

While luxury on this scale usally comes at a premium, this slice of Spanish heaven is surprisingly well priced and winning the lottery to enjoy this truly beautiful hotel is not actually necessary.

Nobu Hotel (Ibiza Bay)

Pack your nightclub shoes, it’s time to party. Ibiza is arguably the best party destination in the world, and attracts a high-end clientele. For a luxury experience, the Nobu Hotel in Ibiza Bay is your best option. Originally known for its high-end Japanese cuisine, Nobu Hotel is set in the heart of this Mediterranean marvel and overlooks the turquoise Talamanca Bay. Guests will be near the electric party scene, but can also return to a peaceful luxury cove, when the party ends.

Cap Rocat (Cala Blava, Majorca)

As one of the stunning Balearic Islands, Majorca offers the best of Spanish cuisine and culture to luxury travelers who are searching for a peaceful retreat. 

Cap Rocat boutique hotel is set by a lush nature reserve and offers guests panoramic views looking over Palma Bay. For a unique experience, the infinity pool is engraved in the cliff and has some of the most fascinating views of Majorca.

Here, guests can relax on the private beach, with a glass of Sangria in hand of course or explore the local area to tap into an authentic Spanish experience.

Another resort in Majorca is the St. Regis Mardavall Resort, set by the Puerto Portals harbor. Here, guests will revel in Mediterranean Sea views, lush green gardens and classic Spanish charm in the rooms and throughout the hotel.

It is mostly famous for its Arabella Spa, one of the most renowned wellbeing facilities in Europe. Here there is no treatment that you can’t get. Immerse yourself in state-of-the-art saunas, pools, baths, and hot tubs that will help you achieve your best self.

Even though Spain is regarded by many in the UK as a great budget travel option, it also shines brightly in the luxury department, offering world-class shopping, restaurants and accommodations.

Whether you are dreaming about sun bathing on a Spanish beach, hiking in the countryside, finding your inner Zen, or simply enjoying a pampering holiday, Spain has something wonderful for everyone.
