(IN SHORT) Minor Hotels is set to introduce NH Collection to the Balearic Islands with the opening of NH Collection Ibiza in April. This newly refurbished five-star property, previously the Sir Joan Hotel, will offer a premium experience for guests, combining the iconic location with NH Collection’s renowned service and quality.

(PRESS RELEASE) Bangkok, Thailand, 2025-Jan-30 — /Travel PR News/ — Minor Hotels has announced the upcoming debut of NH Collection in Spain’s Balearic Islands, with NH Collection Ibiza set to open its doors in April. The Sir Joan Hotel in Ibiza, recently acquired by AX Partners, will undergo an extensive refurbishment in line with NH Collection’s premium standards, rebranding the property to launch under the NH Collection banner this spring.

The refurbishment, following a significant renovation in 2017, will further elevate the quality of the hotel’s facilities and services. Enhancements include a new gastronomic offering featuring an updated restaurant and cocktail options, ensuring that NH Collection Ibiza will establish itself as a leading name in premium tourism on the island. With this transformation, the five-star hotel will offer guests the outstanding service and amenities associated with the NH Collection brand, delivering unique and unforgettable experiences.

Boasting stunning views of the port of Ibiza and the historic old town, the hotel is ideally located as a meeting point for both national and international visitors to the vibrant island. With the strategic management of Minor Hotels under the NH Collection brand, the hotel is set to become a key player in the premium segment of the Balearic Islands, further strengthening its position as one of Ibiza’s premier luxury destinations.

A Second NH Collection Opening in 2025

The launch of NH Collection Ibiza will be the second opening for the brand in 2025, following the upcoming debut of NH Collection Alagna Mirtillo Rosso in Italy. Located in the picturesque village of Alagna Valsesia at the foot of Monte Rosa in the Pennine Alps, the four-star hotel is perfectly positioned for skiing enthusiasts. These new properties mark a significant step in strengthening the NH Collection brand portfolio, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, with nearly 100 hotels worldwide.

The introduction of NH Collection to the Balearic Islands is a key strategic milestone for the brand. It will not only enhance NH Collection’s presence in Spain but also expand its offering in a prime location that serves as a major destination for travelers from Europe’s key outbound markets. The opening of NH Collection Ibiza is particularly meaningful as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the NH Collection brand, which has become synonymous with high-quality hospitality worldwide.

Gonzalo Aguilar, Chief Executive Officer of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, commented: “The launch of NH Collection Ibiza represents a pivotal moment for the brand. This new asset will strengthen our position in Spain and the Balearic Islands, one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations. We are confident that this property will be a significant addition to our portfolio, elevating the NH Collection offering and expanding our reach to more travelers seeking exceptional experiences.”

Aleix Recasens, Founding Partner of AX Partners, added: “The Sir Joan Hotel has long been a landmark of design and location in Ibiza. Our acquisition of the property aligns with our vision of enhancing its success with a premium brand. NH Collection’s reputation for managing iconic destinations and its expertise in delivering top-tier leisure and dining offerings made it the perfect choice for this project. This opening not only strengthens the hotel market in Ibiza but also marks a significant milestone as the first NH Collection hotel in the Balearic Islands. We look forward to contributing to the growth of both the property and the destination.”
