Discover the White Isle’s newest hotel: Mondrian Ibiza

After a transient soft launch in late summer last 12 months, Ibiza’s newest and highly anticipated hotel will open this spring. It is the chic Mondrian. The five-star hotel is positioned between pine-covered hills above the beautiful natural harbour of Cala Llonga. The area is comparatively quiet in comparison with the busy tourist attractions of Ibiza Town, the nightclubs of Sant Antoni on the west side of the island and naturally the legendary Pashawhich celebrated its fiftieth anniversary last 12 months. However, if you happen to fancy an evening out on the club, you possibly can reach virtually anywhere on the white island in a twenty-minute taxi ride.

Mondrian Ibiza is the twelfth Mondrian brand hotel after Singapore, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, London, Doha, Mexico City, Cannes, Bordeaux, Seoul and Hong Kong. Openings will soon follow in Tulum, Dubai and Australia’s Gold Coast.

Next to Mondrian, also newly opened sister hotel Hyde will appeal to a younger crowd, with all-day Balearic beats and live DJs by the pool. Guests of the Mondrian are welcome to make use of the pool and Hyde’s restaurants (Cuyo and Bungalow). Both hotels are a part of the worldwide Ennismore Lifestyle group that features design hotels, restaurants and bars.

Art and Design

Designed by Beades Architects and Cuarto Interior, guests are greeted with an airy space and huge glass windows that showcase the Mediterranean Sea below and the attractive landscape that surrounds them. The artwork, curated by London-based collective Gone Rogue, was chosen to capture the essence of Ibiza, corresponding to pieces corresponding to ash by Corine van Voorbergen and Kissing the sun and moon by Lauren Baker. And the ocean is beautifully represented by Sea view by Hannah Nijsten within the Lobby Lounge.

Accommodation

The 154 rooms and suites (some with sea views and balconies) are designed in an easy style with cool, clean lines and a soothing color palette of earth tones against concrete partitions. Local raw materials have been reinterpreted in latest forms: wood, leather, linen, stone or cement have been chosen for the finishes and furniture. Signature pieces corresponding to intertwined headboards in natural leather fabric represent old Balearic furniture and the picket slatted cabinets are inspired by the dry docks where fishermen keep their boats and utensils by the ocean.

Each room has a king-size bed, terrace and spacious bathroom, some with bathtub, all with refillable Malin+Goetz toiletries. Forest view studios and one-bedroom suites have separate living areas. Sea view suites offer magnificent coastal views, while the Mondrian Panoramic Seaview Suite has a big wraparound balcony. The top Mondrian Grand Suite is a 62-square-meter sanctuary with a generous 80-square-meter private terrace with daybeds, a non-public cabana and an intimate alfresco dining area, combining luxury and complete privacy.

Food and Drink

Breakfast is plentiful and features a large buffet at Hyde and Mondrian, in addition to a la carte options. For a fast coffee and pastry, The Perq within the lobby is an incredible selection, while Sun & Moon, Mondrian Ibiza’s all-day bar, offers light snacks and drinks. For dinner, head to Niko, Mondrian’s fabulous Asian fusion restaurant with a generous menu of nagiri, maki and a sushi bar where guests can watch freshly caught fish being prepared before their eyes. And don’t miss the delicious miso black cod. Niko also offers two tasting menus with sushi, robata and chef’s selections.

This summer, the restaurants Niko and Cuyo (at Hyde) are hosting a series with a few of the world’s best chefs, chosen from the The 50 best restaurants on the earth. The first will happen on June twenty first at Niko and will probably be presented by the currently best female chef in Asia. Chef Pam. Chef Pam Pichaya Soontornyanakij has opened quite a few successful restaurants and bars and is the youngest Thai chef to be named Asia’s Best Chef by the World’s 50 Best Chefs list.

Make

There is not any spa on the Mondrian, but there may be a well-equipped gym and outdoor yoga under the guidance of an experienced instructor on the deck above the pool is included for all guests. Another great activity for guests is a improbable guided hike through the nearby hills with Outdoor adventures within the Balearic Islandsled by knowledgeable and experienced tour guide Michael “Stivi” Stivanello.

The Mondrian has its own ferry dock and is a stop on the regular ferry schedule to nearby Ibiza Town (half-hour) or to the beautiful neighboring island of Formentera.

After walking through Ibiza Town and as much as the castle, stop for lunch at Ca n’Alfredoone among the oldest restaurants on the island, popular for its traditional Ibizan dishes, including freshly caught local fish and delicious stews accompanied by island wines.

For dinner, cocktails and dancing until late at night not removed from the Mondrian is the newly opened Mr Porter Steakhouse, Bar & Lounge which opened as a pop-up near Ibiza Town for the summer. The roast beef carpaccio and the fried sea bass in adobo sauce are particularly good.
