Between heaven and earth

The Hacienda Na Xamena is a dream come true for any bride-and-groom-to-be. A premier location in the north, the Ibiza wedding venue boasts spectacular views, five-star service, food and accommodation plus an expert in-house wedding planner to ensure your big day runs smoothly and stress-free.

Sabine Lipszyc has organised over 120 weddings in the hotel, to date with a 100 percent success rate. Many couples return for their anniversaries each year – is there something magical in the air at the Hacienda or is it Sabine’s magic touch?

Guests enter via a separate entrance to the hotel, meaning even if the hotel is fully booked, your wedding is completely private. For those couples, families and friends staying in the hotel, activities can be arranged, from spa treatments and informal dinners to luxurious yacht trips.

Ceremonies take place in a breathtaking ampitheatre, a clearing of land that feels suspended between the sea and the sky – or heaven and earth. Feel at one with nature, surrounded by the deep green mountains and with the sounds of the sea swirling the background - an unforgettable and incredible ambience.

A cocktail reception follows, on a striking sunset terrace where the uninterrupted million-dollar view of the sun setting into the sea almost takes attention away from the newlyweds – for just a few seconds!

For dinner, the Hacienda caters for up to 200 guests - choose from a selection of refined dishes, cocktail dinner or culinary innovations designed by head chef Patric Gernsbeck to match your tastes. Wedding cakes, decoration, music, flowers and more are expertly taken care of by Sabine, whose hospitality and personal care make you feel as though you are in the spectacular home of a friend.

With the bonus attentive service and amenities of a five-star hotel of course!
