The Aguas de Ibiza opened for the first time in 2009 on Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, near the Santa Eulalia del Rio Marina, with excellent views of the harbour and the island of Formentera.
The new five-star establishment seeks to cater for the upmarket tourism and business markets and has focused its facilities accordingly.
The Aguas de Ibiza Spa and Resort has 83 rooms and suites over three floors for the main hotel, including 26 standard rooms, 45 junior suites and 12 corner suites. In addition, the fourth floor forms a hotel within the hotel and includes an exclusive club called Cloud Nine with a separate check-in desk and its own amenities and services.
Cloud Nine has 18 luxury suites and one Presidential Ibiza loft. In total the hotel has 112 rooms for guest use.
Design of Aguas de Ibiza
The spa and resort hotel, which is owned and run by the Torres Family, was designed and constructed by local architect Juan de los Ríos. The interior design was carried out by the Barcelona-based Triade Studio and the spa (Revival Wellness Club) was designed by Felix Prado.
The hotel has set aside a 1,300ft² landscaped garden for guest use. The hotel was designed to conserve 35% more energy than similar-sized hotels in the area.
