The house where Amnesia now stands was built at the end of the XVIII century. Five generations of the Planells family lived within its thick whitewashed walls. They cultivated the land and built a mill out of stone. During the first half of the X century the poor that came to beg here received bread, cheese and dried figs.

The first foreign visitors arrived in Ibiza towards 1950. They were drawn to the island by its mysterious legends and rumors of its breathtaking untouched nature.
