Perched 180 meters above the Mediterranean and boasting a privileged open horizon to the west, this iconic establishment becomes an exceptional enclave to experience the 78 seconds of total darkness that Sant Joan de Labritja will reach
This hotel has designed three different experiences to live the same unrepeatable moment that transcend simple astronomical observation to become a complete sensory experience.
True to its mission of revealing the true essence of Ibiza and reconnecting with its purest and most serene roots, Hacienda Na Xamena will become, next Wednesday, August 12th, the privileged setting for one of the most extraordinary astronomical events of the century. This iconic establishment, perched on a cliff 180 meters above the Mediterranean, has designed three distinct experiences to share this unique moment, transcending mere astronomical observation to become a complete sensory experience that combines gastronomy, music, and spectacular sunset views to contemplate the total solar eclipse.
This phenomenon will offer a truly exceptional moment as it merges with the light of the setting sun, when the sun is very low on the horizon. Therefore, observing it requires a location with good visibility to the west, where the sky and the west merge without obstruction. This condition makes Hacienda Na Xamena, surrounded by 150 hectares of nature and two kilometers of coastline in Sant Miquel de Balansat, a sublime and exclusive viewpoint to experience this magical moment.
According to official data from the National Geographic Institute, in Sant Joan de Labritja the eclipse will begin at 7:38:53 PM and totality will occur between 8:32:16 PM and 8:33:34 PM. For 78 seconds, the moon will completely obscure the solar disk when it is just three degrees above the horizon, transforming the Ibiza sunset into a truly unique sight.
“We want to celebrate this event as truly important things are celebrated in Ibiza, by sharing good food, music, and the beauty of our land. Hacienda Na Xamena was born from the desire to integrate with nature, and there is no more powerful expression of that connection than contemplating together how the sky changes before our eyes,” explained the owner of Hacienda Na Xamena, Alvar Lipszyc.
A table facing the horizon at the Eden Restaurant
The Edén Restaurant is shaping up to be an extraordinary location to witness this astronomical event from a privileged position overlooking the horizon. To complement the eclipse, the experience will be enhanced with a gastronomic offering designed specifically to allow you to pause time and simply savor the moment. An evening enveloped in live music, the comfort of a reserved table, and certified viewing glasses to guarantee a safe and enjoyable experience of the phenomenon.
As the moon slowly moves across the sun and the Mediterranean light transforms, gastronomy will become the guiding thread of an experience meant to be appreciated with all the senses. The culminating moment will arrive around 8:32 p.m., when day gives way for a few moments to an unexpected darkness and the Ibiza horizon becomes the stage for an unforgettable natural spectacle.
The price for this experience at the Eden Restaurant is 220 euros per person, drinks not included.
The amphitheater at Hacienda Na Xamena opens to the sky
The magic of the phenomenon will also unfold in the iconic amphitheater of Hacienda Na Xamena, built into the cliff itself and facing the vastness of the Mediterranean Sea. A haven of stone and sea where you can contemplate the eclipse in its purest form. Between 7:45 pm and 9:30 pm, the event will feature live music, a glass of champagne, and a carefully curated selection of gourmet canapés, along with the essential certified eclipse glasses needed to admire this historic solar event.
This unique open-air space will allow you to observe the evolution of the phenomenon in communion with the landscape, while the music accompanies the progressive change of light over the sea and the mountains of northern Ibiza.
The price for this experience in the amphitheater is 150 euros per person. In addition, after the eclipse, attendees can extend their evening with an optional dinner at the Edén Restaurant, between 9:30 pm and 11:00 pm, for a supplement of 90 euros per person, drinks not included.
Suspended privacy facing the sea in the exclusive Private Nests
For those who wish to share this event in private with family or friends, Hacienda Na Xamena will also open its exclusive Private Nests, located at the highest point of the hotel and conceived as authentic balconies suspended over the Mediterranean.
This experience, available between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., will include exclusive use of the Private Nest, champagne, a trio of signature tapas, dinner at the Eden Restaurant, and certified glasses for all attendees.
The Private Nest, with a capacity for up to eight people, will be priced at €2,800. The Grand Private Nest, which can accommodate up to 25 people, will be priced at €7,800. Drinks during dinner are not included.
