Minor Hotels is gearing up to introduce the NH Collection brand to Spain’s Balearic Islands, with the grand opening of NH Collection Ibiza scheduled for April. The former Sir Joan hotel, recently acquired by AX Partners, will undergo an extensive transformation to align with NH Collection’s premium hospitality standards before being relaunched under its new identity this spring.

After an initial refurbishment in 2017, the upcoming renovation will further elevate the hotel’s offerings, refining both its facilities and services. A key highlight of this revamp includes a revamped culinary experience, featuring a brand-new restaurant and an enhanced cocktail selection. With these upgrades, NH Collection Ibiza aims to set a new benchmark in luxury tourism on the island, blending the prestige of a five-star stay with the signature service and unique experiences associated with the NH Collection brand.

Strategically positioned with breathtaking views of Ibiza’s port and historic old town, the hotel is expected to attract both local and international guests seeking an upscale retreat on the vibrant island. Now under the expert management of Minor Hotels and carrying the NH Collection name, the property is poised to become a standout destination in the high-end hospitality sector of the Balearic Islands.

Second NH Collection Opening of 2025

The launch of NH Collection Ibiza marks the brand’s second major debut of the year, following the highly anticipated opening of NH Collection Alagna Mirtillo Rosso in Italy. Set to welcome guests in March, this four-star property is nestled in the Pennine Alps in the charming village of Alagna Valsesia, at the base of Monte Rosa—a haven for skiing enthusiasts.

These two openings further strengthen NH Collection’s global portfolio, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with nearly 100 properties worldwide. As the brand continues to expand, its commitment to delivering sophisticated, high-quality experiences remains at the forefront of its mission.

Gonzalo Aguilar, Chief Executive Officer of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, commented: “The introduction of NH Collection into the Balearic Islands tourism market represents a key strategic flag for the brand. It will allow us to position ourselves with an asset that will strengthen both our presence in Spain as a whole and our offering in a key location for our main outbound markets in the rest of Europe. It is also a significant milestone that coincides with the tenth anniversary of our NH Collection brand, which has established itself as a benchmark of quality around the world.”

Aleix Recasens, founding partner of AX Partners, also commented: “The Sir Joan is already a benchmark in design and location in the city of Ibiza and we acquired it with the aim of boosting its success with a benchmark brand and a stronger contract. We have chosen NH Collection because of its solvency and capacity to manage premium hotels in iconic destinations maximizing the efficiency of its hotels, as well as its expertise in successfully managing leisure and restaurant offerings. This project will not only strengthen Ibiza’s hotel offering but will also mark a milestone as the first NH Collection in the Balearic Islands. We are committed to adding value to this asset and to consolidating our position as one of the main players in the hotel investment market in Spain.”
