Ennismore announces two Ibiza openings

Ennismore, along with Grupo Azul Mar Cala Llonga – owned by Apollo – has announced the expansion of its global collective in Spain with new Mondrian and Hyde hotels on the island of Ibiza.

Mondrian Ibiza and Hyde Ibiza are set to open on the bay of Cala Llonga in June 2023, with both including nine F&B outlets, programmed pool spaces, nightlife and music venues. The project reflects Ennismore’s significant growth in the region, with 15 hotels opening in Europe in 2023.

“Mondrian Ibiza is an exciting addition to the Mondrian portfolio, marking the brand’s inaugural property in Spain,” says Chadi Farhat, Brand Chief Operating Officer for Mondrian at Ennismore. “The Mondrian Ibiza experience will match the unique energy and culture of the iconic island renowned for lively nightlife and idyllic beaches, while also introducing a new cultural and gastronomic destination for the discerning global traveller and locals alike.”

Phil Zrihen, Hyde Brand COO and Brand Chief Operating Officer and Head of Americas at Ennismore, comments: “With its roots in the LA club scene of the 2000’s, Hyde is all about the freedom and personal discovery that comes with great music, time with friends and connecting with something bigger, making it a natural fit for Ibiza. With multiple restaurants and lounges, Hyde Ibiza will also be a food lovers paradise and a showcase for music and nightlife, making it a compelling and vibrant new addition to the Hyde collection for both locals and global travellers.”

Carlos Martins, CEO of ADH Hotels and Grupo Azul Mar Cala Llonga Administrator, states: “For decades Ibiza has been the bohemian retreat for those in the know. It’s our pleasure to bring such a vivacious retreat to the island at a time when visitors are seeking something new and different in Ibiza. These two unique hotels bring a genuinely compelling experience for visitors and locals alike, and we cannot wait to open our doors this summer and raise the bar with both new hotels and the experiences they afford.”

Upon opening, Mondrian Ibiza will be a luxury lifestyle hotel comprising 154 guestrooms and three dining destinations. Designed by Spanish firms Baedes Architects and Cuarto Interior, the hotel will  feature two pools overlooking the ocean, with suites that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. Design touches include moments of colour throughout public and private spaces, as well as a highly developed art programme.  Public spaces include a terrace with bay views and VIP fire pits as well as a deep blue reception area.

The property will house a much-coveted ensemble of culinary offerings including Niko, a classic, understated and serene Japanese restaurant specialising in premium sushi with a view of the bay. The Perq will be a day to night coffee bar serving responsibly sourced direct trade coffee, tea, fresh fruit, smoothies and juices with baked goods during the day before purveying local beers and natural wines each evening. Finally, Sun & Moon will be a versatile all-day coffee and cocktail bar serving light bites and drinks with an Australian influenced comfort food and local mixology twist.

Located adjacent, Hyde Ibiza will feature 401 guestrooms. Designed by the same Spanish firms as Mondrian, the development will house public spaces geared around social interaction as well as pop-ups, partnerships and programming. Guestrooms will boast a bohemian chic aesthetic, featuring an earthy sensibility through natural textures, custom millwork and artisan touches such as a table inspired by jewellery from Ibiza, while suites will feature enhanced materiality and sweeping Balearic Island views. Design touches include social elements such as a signature oversized sofa in the lobby along with warm woods, timbered details and hand-crafted accents.

Inspired by local ingredients and international flavours, Hyde Ibiza’s five F&B locations include an ocean-to-table restaurant showcasing the bounty of the Balearics; a lounge-style pool bar with classic dishes; a day club with cabanas, cocktails and international DJ sets; a Chiringuito-style beach club with iced coffees, coastal fare and ice cream; and a discreet speakeasy with exclusive cocktails and secret concerts and DJ sets.
