This Relaxing Ibiza Hotel Debunks the Spanish Isle’s Hectic Nightlife Reputation - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"Walking through the front doors of Hotel Riomar, I was greeted with open glass views of the Balearic Sea and immediate beachfront access that set the tone for a laid-back, upscale Bohemian stay. The property’s mid-century boho-chic aesthetic — cream walls, burnt-orange accents, plush couches, abstract-patterned pillows and carpets — gives the public spaces a tasteful, relaxed vibe, while the 116 guest rooms and suites feature dark wood furnishings, tiled floors and private balconies with expansive ocean or village views. I loved having the choice to lounge on deluxe chairs beside the pristine aqua-blue pool or on the wide-open beach, and the hand-painted fresco mural in the lobby (depicting four dramatically posed figures in the hotel’s signature orange) is a striking spot for photos. For downtime I appreciated the on-site amenities — a spa, one swimming pool, a private beachfront area, bar and room service — plus the interactive cocktail workshop where the in-house mixologist teaches you to make drinks with Hierbas Ibicencas (using ingredients like rosemary, basil, lemon, orange, vanilla pods and aniseed flowers). The property was preparing to reopen April 6, 2023, and practical details include a four-star rating and a starting nightly rate of $238."
