Frolicking around Ibiza has always been fun, but with the recent opening of W Ibiza, the island finally offers lodgings compatible with the island’s pizzazz. The property is situated at Santa Eulària des Riu, a resort town approx. 15km northeast of Ibiza Airport, and occupies a beach front structure from the 1980s. Fully transformed by Tel Aviv-based interior design practice Baranowitz + Kronenberg, the 162-room hotel pairs ultimate comfort with a fun-infused bohemian lifestyle that’s renowned across the planet. The rooms come in no less than eleven different categories, ranging from the compact Cozy and Wonderful guest rooms, to the more grand EWOW Suite and Penthouse for those who love to live large. Obviously, each pad is well-appointed and meets all the requirements of today’s savvy traveller. The existing structure now sees a dramatic ascending section of the ground floor that follows from the main entrance esplanade to the outdoor pool and sea, allowing guests to easily connect and engage, celebrating life or retreat and relax.
This spatial arrangement is set between a concrete floor and steel-wired hand-wove laced ceiling, and it’s a setting which incorporates the bold and playful themes of W Hotels. The good life rules fierce at W Ibiza, and its very much reflected by alluring facilities, most notably the venues where both hotel guests and visitors wine and dine until the wee little hours. Contemporary and laid-back, Ve Café is a promenade-style health food bar designed to uplift guests with fresh and wholesome bites and drinks. Situated smack on the beach overlooking the sea is Chiringuito Blue. Relaxed yet stylish, it’s a vibrant beach restaurant where the flavours of the eastern Mediterranean meet Ibiza cuisine. Last but not least, there’s La llama, an à la carte steakhouse, and opening in the course of next year is Glow, an exclusive rooftop venue for Ibiza-worthy nocturnal debaucheries.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
