Our history

It all started with a man by the name of Josep Roselló!

An Ibizan visionary, he was a forefather of tourism in Ibiza who many moons ago bought a series of farms around a seafront property that he already owned.

He designed and built the Hotel Portmany, the first ever hotel in San Antonio.

It opened its doors on 12 July 1933 and soon gained a reputation for personal attention and professional management, attracting well-to-do guests from around the world. Back then, the hotel had its own bus that transferred guests from the Port of Ibiza to the hotel or even took them on day trips around the island, with Josep Roselló himself acting as a tour guide.

In 2021, Josep's grandchildren reopened the property as an aparthotel after a complete refurbishment, focussing on the spirit of personalised service that their grandfather bestowed on the Hotel Portmany.
