I had no idea what my wife was planning just told to pack a bag and bring some summer gear. When we arrived at Cubanito Ibiza. A retro-Cuban inspired boutique hotel with all the charm of Havana, perched above Cala Gració with sunsets that look like they’re painted.
From the moment we arrived, the vibe was pure class and cool. Think vintage radios in the room, striped parasols, warm terracotta tones, and the kind of rooftop that makes you want to sip daiquiris while pretending you’re in a 1950s jazz film.
She booked it for my birthday and honestly? Best present ever. The pool and loungers was where we spent most of the time and room balcony cocktails in hand. We stayed out there for hours, just the two of us, laughing like we were on our honeymoon again.
The staff were super friendly, laid-back but attentive. The decor had so many little details, from old-school telephones to Cuban vinyls. It didn’t feel like a hotel. Oh, and the music selection throughout the property was absolutely on point, subtle house, Latin grooves, and chill-out tracks that fit the mood without being intrusive.
The beach is a short stroll away, but honestly, we barely left. It’s the kind of place that feels like a hideaway, yet you’re just minutes from San Antonio if you want the buzz.
My wife knows me too well, this was exactly my scene. Relaxed, stylish, soulful, and effortlessly cool. If you’re thinking about celebrating something special in Ibiza and want a place that feels personal but not pretentious, Cubanito is it.
Still smiling about it now. ❤️
