OKU Ibiza is one of the newest resorts on the beautiful island of Ibiza in Spain. It is a place where laid-back luxury is combined with bohemian minimalism. Five star luxury, great food, the typical Ibiza vibe and a strong connection with nature: this is a place for those who want to experience the very best of the Balearic lifestyle.

Location

Ibiza is a Spanish island in the Balearics, known for the bohemian atmosphere, the excellent cuisine, the hedonistic lifestyle and the famous nightlife. The island has become one of Europe’s top destinations over the past few decades and is easily reachable from all over the world. The natural beauty of the island is one of the main characteristics of Ibiza and many are enchanted forever after their first visit. There’s excellent food, too, often served in some of the most beautiful settings on earth. The countless beaches and the stunning coastline is reminiscent of the Caribbean and an natural attraction on its own. And then there’s the laid-back, Mediterranean atmosphere that charms everyone on the island.

OKU Ibiza embodies all these characteristics and translates them into a memorable hospitality experience. Located on the sunset side of the island, near the city of San Antonio, OKU Ibiza enjoys a tranquil setting while everything is within walking distance. Nestled among beaches and foothills, OKU Ibiza is only a short walk away from the beautiful Cala Gracio bay and beaches, and the town of San Antonio can be reached within a 30 minutes’ (and very beautiful) walk. The resort is located about a 40 minutes’ drive from the airport or a 25 minutes’ drive from Ibiza town.

The spa and wellness areas are a core part the OKU Ibiza experience and definitely a must visit during your stay. There are daily yoga and pilates classes on offer, besides individual sessions.

However, one of the main activities at OKU is simply soaking up the vibes, sipping on a delicious cocktail and taking in the beats of the resident DJ. The ‘white isle’ at its best.

Gastronomy

OKU Ibiza offers one of the best F&B offers in Ibiza. The internationally-acclaimed Executive Chef Mark Vaessen from SUSHISAMBA is responsible for the menu. Mark is famous for his creative and delicious Japanese fusion cuisine, combined with South-American influences.

Chef Mark created the menus for the four wonderful dining and drinking spots at the resort:

• OKU Restaurant is the resort’s flagship restaurant. Here, Executive Chef Mark Vaessen serves the best flavours from Japan, combined with other Asian and South American influences. The à la carte dinner menu showcases local produce like organic vegetables, besides fresh catches, and, of course, Asian delicacies such as Japanese Wagyu and Hamachi. For more information about this great restaurant, please visit our restaurant section.

• To Kima is OKU’s all-day dining restaurant. The day here starts with a refined breakfast and continues with a laid-back lunch menu with Spanish and Mediterranean dishes. Local produce is key here, and Mark infused several dishes with an Asian twist. There’s a small terrace overlooking the pool, and the To Kima food can also be enjoyed pool-side or in your room.

• For cocktails topped with Balearic beats, head to the main Pool bar. Located at the heart of the hotel, the main 50m pool, it’s a wonderful social spot to sample creative cocktails, local wines or a good Spanish beer.
• The main pool is also where you will find the healthy Juice bar. On offer here are some colourful fresh juices, protein smoothies and vitamin boosters. All made from fresh produce from local organic farms, as it should be!

“My philosophy in cooking is simple: cook with all your heart and soul using the best produce, and don’t make it too complicated. In the Japanese kitchen it all starts with beautiful produce, there is nothing to hide! I am also inspired by the social aspect of Mediterranean and Japanese cultures, which both share food generously with friends and family as a way to connect with each other. The dishes and dining experience at the OKU restaurant are designed to embrace this ethos”.
– Mark Vaessen
