Ibiza Dream Villa: Belvilla by OYO's Stunning SES SAVINES Escape!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. We're diving headfirst into the turquoise waters of Ibiza Dream Villa: Belvilla by OYO's Stunning SES SAVINES Escape! And listen, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This isn't going to be some sterile, corporate-speak review. This is the real deal. The good, the slightly wonky, and the utterly blissful.
First Impression: Arrival & Accessibility - The "Will I Fit?" Anxiety
Right off the bat, navigating Ibiza can be a thing. The roads are… well, they're Ibiza roads. Think tight turns, dramatic hills, and the occasional rogue scooter. Accessibility: Okay, let's be brutally honest, if you're relying heavily on a wheelchair (and I totally get that this is a big factor for many), this isn't going to be the easiest destination ever. While they say "facilities for disabled guests", I’m thinking it's more like they try (and hey, that’s a good start!). The website doesn’t specify whether the room is wheelchair accessible. Check on this first. The entrance maybe via exterior corridors, so that's a good starting point. So contact them directly on accessibility – don’t take my word for it – and get the nitty-gritty before you go. Otherwise, the check-in process was swift and contactless, which is a massive plus after a long flight.
Cleanliness & Safety – "Is It Clean Enough to Eat Off Of? (Metaphorically)"
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: cleanliness. I’m a germaphobe at heart, but a relaxed one, and I was absolutely on the right side here. I loved that they offered room sanitization opt-out and daily disinfection in common areas. Anti-viral cleaning products were definitely used, and it showed. Hygiene certification? Yeah, probably. Felt secure in their approach. Hand sanitizer stations were everywhere, which is a HUGE win, particularly after the chaos of the airport. Rooms are sanitized between stays? Yes! Felt like they were taking things seriously. The staff is trained in safety protocols, which is just good sense. They even had sterilizing equipment, which is going the extra mile. Safe dining setup? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Double check. And, you know what's a nice touch? They've got all the boring stuff that you wouldn't think of, like Cashless payment service, and First aid kit.
That Room! – Oh. My. Gawd. The View!
Okay, okay, let's talk about the good stuff. The room. Oh. My. Gawd. Non-smoking? Check. Soundproof rooms? Yes. Air conditioning? Hallelujah! But the view… From my high-floor room, overlooking the pool with the sea shimmering beyond…Forget it. I could have lived there forever. The blackout curtains were a godsend for those late-night Ibiza parties (or indeed, those early-morning naps).
Details, Details: Okay, let’s get into the specifics of the room itself. I'm a sucker for the little things. Coffee/tea maker! Yes! Free bottled water! Bless you. Hair dryer, Bathroom phone, Bathrobes, Slippers… all the little touches that make you feel like you’re actually on holiday and not just surviving. The bed was comfy, the linens were fresh, and the daily housekeeping was immaculate. Extra long bed? Yes! Shower, bathtub - both. Separate seating area. It was pure bliss. And the internet? Wi-Fi [free], and Internet access – wireless - (Thank the heavens).
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – "A La Carte? More Like A Lot Of Carte!"
Okay, food, glorious food. The breakfast buffet was pretty damn epic, in a "pile it high" kind of way. They also offered Asian breakfast, Asian Cuisine, Western breakfast, and Western cuisine. The selection was seriously impressive. I may or may not have gone back for a fourth helping of those miniature pastries. Breakfast in room if you’re feeling lazy? Yes, please. Room service [24-hour], meaning you can stuff your face with pizza at 3 a.m.? Absolutely. They also offered Alternative meal arrangement, which is good if you have any dietary requirements. Bar for those sunset cocktails? Naturally. Poolside bar? You betcha. Snack bar, Coffee shop, Restaurants… it's a food lover's paradise. Bottle of water - for your post-party dehydration? You are covered, friends.
Now, I will admit, the Happy hour was slightly chaotic. The bar staff were run off their feet, but hey, it's Ibiza. Chaos is part of the charm. And the Coffee/tea in restaurant, amazing. Desserts in restaurant - oh my days. Chef's kiss.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – "Spa Day, Anyone?"
Right, the chill-out zone. This is where SES SAVINES really shines. The swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous, with that stunning view I mentioned. The Pool with view - yes! But I'm not a "lounge by the pool all day" kinda gal, so I checked out the Fitness center. It's not the biggest gym in the world, but it had enough to keep me vaguely feeling like I wasn't completely wasting away on holiday. The Spa/sauna was heavenly, although the steamroom was, shall we say, a bit…steamy. And that massage? Worth every single Euro. The Body scrub and Body wrap were on my list, but I ran out of time. And I will be honest, the Foot bath could be improved… it looked a bit like a dish washing bowl. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh. It was fine, anyway.
Services & Conveniences – "Do They Have a Concierge? Asking For… Myself."
Okay, let's talk about the practical stuff. Concierge? Yep. Dry cleaning? Check. Laundry service? Double check. You can also use the Ironing service. There's the Convenience store (essential for those late-night snack runs) The Facilities for disabled guests are a good sign, even if they may not fully be a reality. Car park [free of charge]. Air conditioning in public area - essential. Doorman, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Cash withdrawal, even Currency exchange… they've thought of pretty much everything. Airport transfer - yes. Car park [on-site].
For the Kids – "Kid-Friendly? Or Kid-Adjacent?"
Family/child friendly, yes. Babysitting service is available, which could be a lifesaver. If you're traveling with little ones and are worried that they might not be catered for, then you can check with them. Kids meal? You may want to confirm that too.
Getting Around – "Taxi, Anyone?"
Getting around Ibiza is… interesting. The car park [free of charge] is a bonus, but the roads are what they are. A Taxi service is available, which I used a lot.
So, Did I Love It? – The Final Verdict (and a Cry for Help)
Look, imperfections and all… I loved my stay at Ibiza Dream Villa: Belvilla by OYO's Stunning SES SAVINES Escape! it was such a great experience. The stunning views, the amazing food, that spa… It was the kind of place where you can genuinely switch off and recharge.
BUT…
There were moments where things were a little "off". Little niggles that I've been honest about. But overall? A solid recommendation. Will I go back? Absolutely. Will I be taking a suitcase full of those miniature pastries home with me? Possibly.
Now, for the hard sell because I really want you to book…

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST (and probably face-first into a sangria) into my "Belvilla by OYO SES SAVINES Ibiza" itinerary. This ain't your glossy travel brochure, folks. This is REAL. Messy. And probably involves me losing my sunglasses at least twice.
Location: Belvilla by OYO SES SAVINES, Ibiza, Spain. (Sounds fancy, right? We’ll see…)
Day 1: Landing and Utter Chaos
- Morning (or what passes for morning after a red-eye): Land at Ibiza Airport. The air hits you like a warm, slightly boozy hug. Immediately, I’m thinking, "YES. This is what I needed." Immediately followed by, "Where's my luggage? Why is everyone speaking at hyper-speed Spanish?" The check-in at the airport takes longer.
- Anecdote: I swear, I saw a woman in a sequined jumpsuit and roller skates boarding the plane. Ibiza already feels like a fever dream.
- Noon: The drive to SES SAVINES is… well, scenic. Lush greenery giving way to blinding blue seas. I'm already picturing myself on a beach with a book, but the reality is probably going to involve me frantically searching for the Wi-Fi password.
- Afternoon: Arrive at Belvilla. Finding the actual villa takes a bit. "SES SAVINES" turns out to be a glorious, but slightly confusing, cluster of villas. I swear the GPS was leading me to a goat farm for a minute there. Unpack. Or rather, attempt to unpack. The suitcase exploded, scattering my clean underwear across… well, let's just say across the floor. And the view? Stunning. Seriously. Like, Instagram-worthy stunning. But the balcony door… doesn't seem to want to open. Muttering ensues.
- Quirky Observation: The villa key is HUGE. Like, a medieval executioner's key huge. I'm worried I'll accidentally knock someone out just by walking.
- Evening: Grocery run. Armed with a very limited understanding of Spanish and google translate, I attempt to purchase essentials. Bread? Check. Wine? Double check! But then I see the chorizo, oh the chorizo! I can already hear it sizzling! Okay I ended up going for the chorizo, because as I mentioned, it's important!
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy at the sight of the grocery store. The smell of fresh bread and the potential for endless tapas… I'm in heaven. And perhaps slightly drunk on anticipation.
- Impracticality: I bought way too much food. I’m going to be eating chorizo for the rest of the trip, I can feel it in my bones.
- Outcome: The wine is already almost all gone.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (and Sunburn Avoidance Tactics)
- Morning: FINALLY, the balcony door cooperates! Coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise. This is what vacation is all about right? Wrong the coffee is bitter, the sun is blinding, and I forgot my sunglasses.
- Late Morning: The beach beckons! (After a frantic search for sunscreen, which, of course, I’d forgotten.) Choosing a beach… decision paralysis. Picked the closest one I could actually find. San Antonio it is!
- Afternoon: Beach time! Sun, sea, sand (which gets EVERYWHERE). I spend a solid hour just staring at the water. It’s ridiculously beautiful. The sun is doing its best to fry me.
- Anecdote: Saw a guy doing backflips into the water. I tried to channel my inner acrobat, but ended up mostly looking like a beached whale. Everyone laughed. I laughed too, eventually.
- Late Afternoon: SUNBURN. Despite the best efforts of SPF 50. My shoulders are screaming. Cue the aloe vera. Cue the emotional breakdowns. This is the first real hiccup.
- Evening: Sunset drinks at a beach bar. The sunset is, as advertised, spectacular. Drinks are… expensive. But the view. OMG, the view.
- Quirky Observation: Everyone is gorgeous and wearing impossibly chic outfits. I look like a lobster with a bad case of frizz. But hey, I’m here!
Day 3: Exploring (and Getting Slightly Lost)
- Morning: Stiff from sunburn, I decide that the best course of action is… a hike! (I am a genius.) I've got this!
- Late Morning: Driving! (After more map and compass struggles)
- Anecdote: I think I may have briefly invented my own road.
- Afternoon: Dalt Vila! The old town. Cobblestone streets, white-washed buildings, ridiculously charming. I get lost. Again. But it's okay, because every corner is more beautiful than the last.
- Impression: The sheer amount of staircases is a cruel joke. My calves are burning.
- Late Afternoon: Find a tiny tapas bar. They don't speak much English, I speak zero Spanish, but somehow, we manage to communicate through a combination of pointing, smiling, and exaggerated gestures. Best tapas ever.
- Evening: Dinner in Ibiza town. The food's delicious, but a tiny part of me really craves more chorizo and bread.
Day 4: The Boat Trip (and More Absurdity)
- Morning: A boat trip! I am very excited! I've booked this tour with a company that promised "authentic Ibiza experience".
- All Day: The boat trip is amazing! We sail, we swim, we see hidden coves and cliffs. The water's amazing.
- The Double Down: We go cliff jumping. I am terrified. I am also peer pressured by a bunch of teenagers, or at least that's what they looked like, so I jump. The adrenaline rush is real. I survived! Best moment of the trip!
- Evening: The boat is still sailing! (I guess I am late for the reservation.) Dinner and drinks at a club.
- Emotional Reaction: Tired, sun-kissed, and utterly exhilarated. This is the Ibiza I'd imagined.
Day 5: Reluctant Departure
- Morning: One last breakfast on the balcony. The sun is still shining.
- Late Morning: Pack. Clean. Cry a little. Check out and prepare by the inevitable pain of the way back.
- Afternoon: Goodbye, Ibiza. I'll be back.
- Evening: Travel back. I can't stop thinking about the chorizo.
This itinerary is a living, breathing document. It's likely to be interrupted by naps, spontaneous dance-offs, and the constant search for a decent cup of coffee. Wish me luck, and if you see a woman with windswept hair, a slightly bewildered expression, clutching a bottle of water and a tattered map, that's probably me. Come say hi! And maybe bring some more chorizo.
