"A design-led perch above Talamanca where the pool is the point, and the clubs are a short taxi away rather than under your window."

Yes, it is the same cliff-top resort at Cap Martinet, under new ownership and a new name. FIVE Hotels and Resorts, the Dubai-born group behind FIVE Palm Jumeirah and FIVE Zurich, acquired the property and gave it a full refurbishment, reopening it for the 2025 season as Destino Five Ibiza with a grand opening in June 2025. The most concrete change is the rating: it moved from a four-star to a five-star classification, with every room, suite and villa redesigned, several now fitted with outdoor bathtubs, plus a new outdoor gym and wellness area. What did not change is the location and the Pacha connection that matters most to a group booking a party trip: the resort still runs the open-air Playa Pacha day club and still includes free entrance to Pacha Club, the legendary nightclub in Ibiza Town. If you booked here as Destino Pacha in the past, you are booking a smarter, glossier version of the same place.
Because it solves the classic Ibiza bachelorette problem: you want the party without waking up inside it. The resort sits high on the cliffs of Cap Martinet above Talamanca, a short drive from Ibiza Town rather than in the thick of the Playa d'en Bossa strip, so the daytime scene is contained to the hotel and the nights are a taxi away. Roughly 168 rooms are spread across ten low blocks and two villas, with a large infinity pool as the centre of gravity and wide Mediterranean views reaching to Formentera. For a group of six to twelve, the model works: spend the day at the Playa Pacha pool sessions, eat long lunches on the terraces, use the spa and the new wellness area to recover, then head into town for Pacha or out to the super-clubs in the evening. It is the calmer, more design-led choice for a group that wants a genuine bolt-hole to come back to.
It centres on Playa Pacha, the resort's open-air pool club, where the infinity pool, wooden decking and daybeds turn into a music-led scene on session days. The signature event is Rumors, a poolside amphitheatre party that runs on Sundays and Thursdays with resident and guest DJs and food trucks around the deck, open to outside guests as well as those staying. That is the appeal and the caveat in one: on party days the resort fills with a day-tripper crowd and the mood is loud and social, while on quieter days it reverts to a relaxed sun-lounger resort. The evening play is the free entrance to Pacha Club in Ibiza Town, a genuinely useful perk for a group given door prices, plus easy taxi access to Hi Ibiza and Ushuaia in Playa d'en Bossa. If you want a base that flips between poolside scene and calm recovery on your schedule, this is the balance Destino strikes.
Time your stay so a Sunday or Thursday lands mid-trip and reserve a group of daybeds at the Rumors pool session early, because they sell out on party days. Use the free Pacha Club entrance for one big night in town, keep another night for a long dinner on the terrace, and pre-book taxis back from the clubs, which are scarce at closing time in high season.
Since the FIVE refurbishment, recent reviews cluster around a few points. Guests rate the redesign highly, singling out the sea views, the pool and the outdoor-bathtub rooms, and the general step up in polish over the old Destino Pacha. Service and the food-and-drink scene draw praise, especially the poolside atmosphere. The consistent criticisms are practical: the property is spread across blocks on a hillside, so there is a fair amount of walking and some steps between rooms and the pool, and the setting is a rocky cliff rather than a sandy beach, which surprises guests expecting to step onto sand. On Rumors party days, a few reviewers note the resort feels busy with outside visitors and the music runs long, so light sleepers or anyone wanting a purely quiet stay should check the events calendar before booking. None of this is hidden, and for a bachelorette group it mostly reads as a feature rather than a fault.
Destino Five is the cliff-top, day-club-with-distance option. Here is how it sits against the obvious alternatives for a group.
| Hotel | Area | Best for the group that wants | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destino Five Ibiza | Cap Martinet | A pool-club scene by day, clubs a taxi away by night | Rocky cove, spread-out layout, taxis for nightlife |
| Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay | Talamanca | A chic, calmer bay-front base with strong dining | Less of a party scene on site |
| Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel | Playa d'en Bossa | The open-air super-club under your room | Loud all day, little downtime |
| The Standard, Ibiza | Ibiza Town / Marina | A walkable town base near the old-town bars | No resort pool scene, smaller rooms |
Destino Five Ibiza ranks #9 on our list of the Top 20 Hotels in Ibiza for a Bachelorette, with an aggregate 9.4/10. It earns its place as the cliff-top day-club base with real nightlife access, rather than as a beach resort or a town hotel. Once your dates are set, book roughly twelve weeks ahead; the sea-view suites and the party-day pool beds go first, and high-season inventory moves in months, not weeks.

Yes. The cliff-top resort at Cap Martinet was Destino Pacha Ibiza until FIVE Hotels and Resorts refurbished it and reopened it as Destino Five Ibiza for the 2025 season, upgrading it to five stars. It still runs the Playa Pacha day club and offers free entrance to Pacha Club in town.
Yes, for a group that wants a poolside day-club scene and easy club access without basing itself in the middle of Playa d'en Bossa. Playa Pacha runs pool sessions, the Rumors parties land on Sundays and Thursdays, and free Pacha Club entrance covers the nightlife.
Not a sandy one of its own. It sits on the rocky cliffs of Cap Martinet, so the real swimming is at the large infinity pool. Talamanca Beach, a calm bay with restaurants, is about a five-minute walk downhill, and Ibiza Town is a short drive around the bay.
For a group, a Suite with a terrace and sea view over the bay is the pick, and several redesigned rooms now include an outdoor bathtub. Entry-level rooms are the value option. Rooms sit across low blocks, so ask to be near the pool if you want to be at the centre of the action.
Ibiza (IBZ) airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. Pacha and the Ibiza Town clubs are a short taxi ride around the bay, and Playa d'en Bossa's super-clubs are about 20 minutes away. The resort is not walkable to nightlife, so plan on taxis or the hotel shuttle.
