Over two centuries old, the previously operational family ranch that made a living from dry farming, has been lovingly transformed by husband and wife pair Tina Soriano and Lucas Prats into an elegant boutique hotel, where the past meets the present and where comfort reigns supreme. Boasting 20 rooms – seven doubles, five superiors and eight villas, six of which boast private gardens – a restaurant, wellness and fitness centre, pool and Jacuzzi, Can Lluc offers the chance to immerse yourself in the Ibiza countryside without sacrificing modern luxuries. Your location, on the outskirts of San Rafael, also means that you can access all of the island’s beautiful destinations and vibrant resorts with ease or simply choose to embrace the peace that your home away from home offers.

Can Lluc is nestled in a quiet valley, surrounded by thousand-year-old pine, carob, fig and olive trees, where over 2,000 grape vines entwine wild fruit trees, creating a calm that perfectly complements the hotel experience. Previously the home of Lucas’ grandfather, José Prats Costa, Tina and Lucas embarked on a project in 2000, along with local architect José Torres, to transform the ranch into one of the island’s most desirable boutique hotels. Maintaining the character of the original property was a priority and you can still see the original stone walls and juniper wood roofs that have stood the test of time and offer a stunning but original feel. Tina and Luca were active throughout the project, that would take three years to complete, working alongside José María Velasco, a formidable player in the restoration of a large part of Ibiza’s cultural heritage sites, to restore and make good use of many of the original building features. Work tools belonging to Lucas’ grandfather can still be seen as can many of the old ranch appliances, adding authenticity and charm to what is already an unforgettable experience.

The choice of accommodation in Can Lluc is varied but all maintained to a very high standard. Stay in the original building itself where a double room offers a level of comfort and luxury befitting of the hotel’s lofty standards, many of which boast private terraces. The Superior room offer a little extra; from Casa De Baix with a four-poster Queen size bed and two extra beds in its lounge, featured stone walls and a fireplace in the bedroom to S’era, a luxury double room with private, south facing terrace. It is located in a separate building for extra privacy and also features a Jacuzzi bath for two. No matter what your choice, each room has its own personality and provides the perfect Ibiza base. The hotel villas offer a unique experience; pioneering when they were constructed, they offer a suite in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by nature, incorporating modern, innovative lines and utilising the natural light to open the space up, bringing the outside in while maintaining the guest’s intimacy and privacy. For those that want something completely different, there is also an option to rent the families private vacation home in Can Juame Curt, taking the level of luxury up a further level.
