Global hospitality brand NH Collection is making its Balearic Islands debut this April with the grand opening of NH Collection Ibiza, marking a new chapter for premium tourism in Spain.

The transformation of Sir Joan Hotel, recently acquired by AX Partners, brings Minor Hotels’ renowned NH Collection brand to one of Europe’s most sought-after travel destinations.

This launch aligns with Spain’s Strategic Tourism Plan (turismodeespana.es), which emphasizes luxury hospitality, sustainable tourism growth, and strengthening international visitor appeal.

With Ibiza being a key driver of Spain’s tourism economy, this development reinforces the Balearic Islands’ position as a leading high-end travel destination.

NH Collection Ibiza: A Premium Tourism Landmark

NH Collection Ibiza is set to become a benchmark for five-star tourism in the Balearic Islands. The hotel, overlooking Ibiza’s port and historic old town, has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, enhancing its:

  • Luxury accommodations with a sleek, modern design.
  • Exclusive dining experiences, including a new high-end restaurant and cocktail bar.
  • Premium leisure facilities, featuring a redesigned poolside area with plush sun loungers.

With its strategic location and world-class service, NH Collection Ibiza aims to attract both national and international travelers, further boosting Spain’s hospitality sector and local economy.

NH Collection’s Strategic Growth in Spain and Europe

The Ibiza launch is part of NH Collection’s expansion strategy, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025. Following the recent opening of NH Collection Alagna Mirtillo Rosso in Italy—a four-star alpine retreat for ski enthusiasts—the brand now operates nearly 100 properties worldwide.

According to Spain’s Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism (mincotur.gob.es), high-end tourism investments are driving record visitor numbers, positioning Spain as a leader in luxury travel experiences. The NH Collection expansion aligns with Spain’s goal of attracting more premium travelers from key European markets.

A Vision for Growth in Ibiza’s Hospitality Market

Minor Hotels Europe & Americas CEO Gonzalo Aguilar emphasized the strategic significance of NH Collection’s entry into Ibiza:

“Introducing NH Collection into the Balearic Islands is a key milestone, strengthening our brand’s presence in Spain and enhancing our appeal across Europe. As we celebrate NH Collection’s 10th anniversary, this launch underscores our commitment to quality and premium hospitality.”

Similarly, AX Partners founding partner Aleix Recasens highlighted the investment’s potential:

“Sir Joan Hotel is already a benchmark in design and location. By integrating it into NH Collection, we are maximizing efficiency and elevating Ibiza’s hospitality landscape. This is a major milestone for both NH Collection and Balearic Islands tourism.”

Ibiza’s Tourism Future: A Luxury Destination on the Rise

Ibiza remains a high-value tourism hub, attracting millions of luxury travelers annually. Spain’s National Tourism Strategy (spain.info) prioritizes sustainable, high-end tourism development, making the NH Collection expansion a significant addition to the Balearic Islands’ hospitality portfolio.

With its exclusive offerings, prime location, and world-class services, NH Collection Ibiza is set to become a flagship luxury destination, reinforcing Spain’s reputation as a global leader in premium tourism.
