CAVE Dwelling

Accommodations nestled in natural or man-made GROTTOES provide an UNFORGETTABLE ESCAPE

At Six Senses Ibiza, the most coveted room is not a presidential suite. It's the Cave Royale, a trio of underground chambers with a 1,300-square-foot sea-view terrace. It's part of the resort's new extension, the Beach Caves, which includes a waterfront restaurant and multiple bars conceived by the interior-design duo Diego Alonso and Alexeja Pozzoni. These man-made caverns are like a "hotel within a hotel," says Alonso.

"It's been such a draw for guests that it's given a whole new flow to the property." And then there's Cova Santa, a restaurant and club, also in Ibiza, that hosts some of the island's coolest DJs and parties and is built around a natural cave. "Maybe with all that's going on in the world, a cave is, in our subconscious, a place we feel safe in," Pozzoni posits.
