Cala Llonga, Ibiza at a slower pace
Facing the turquoise waters of Cala Llonga bay, the Mondrian Ibiza offers a contemporary interpretation of the island spirit. The hotel cultivates an Ibiza less effervescent than the one of the clichés, more attentive to light, landscape and the island's particular way of slowing down time.
Art and the art of living coexist naturally in an establishment deeply connected to its environment. The outdoor staging plays a central, almost programmatic role.
Cuarto Interior, a conscious sophistication
The artistic direction of the project was entrusted to the studio Cuarto Interior, which develops a serene sophistication, deeply rooted in the landscape, the materials and the local culture. The interior spaces express this sensitivity through scrupulous attention to detail.
But it is outdoors that the gesture reaches its full scale. The outdoor spaces are designed as a natural extension of the hotel, open, bright and made to be lived in. A particular feature of the project: these shared spaces are pooled with the neighbouring Hyde Ibiza, creating a unified and coherent whole.
Spritz and Ibiza, a sunny dialogue at the water's edge
Around the pools, the sun loungers from the Spritz collection by Archirivolto Design answer the Ibiza sun loungers by Eugeni Quitllet for Vondom. Two signatures that share the same quality of line: light shapes and a natural presence that gives way to the landscape.
Both were designed to withstand intensive use and constant exposure to the sun. A technical requirement that, in the case of the Mondrian, comes with a narrative one: these sun loungers must last, but also keep convincing season after season.
Vela by Ramón Esteve, the architecture of waiting
The daybeds from the Vela collection, designed by Ramón Esteve, introduce a clear, architectural geometry that structures the space. Where Ibiza and Spritz play on the horizontal, Vela brings verticality and composition.
These daybeds create real places to pause, observe and linger. A grammar of furnishings that turns a simple pool area into a succession of microclimates of use.
Blow by Stefano Giovannoni, the plant identity
In the access areas and shared spaces, the pots from the Blow collection by Stefano Giovannoni bring a recognisable organic gesture. They subtly link architecture and vegetation, softening the circulation routes and reinforcing the visual identity of the whole.
Without ever imposing themselves, these curved volumes play a key role: through them, vegetation becomes an element of the composition rather than mere ornament. A typical way for the Giovannoni studio to add a pop touch without breaking the overall serenity.
A design that does not seek to dominate, but to extend
The Mondrian Ibiza illustrates an approach in which outdoor furniture does not demand the spotlight: it accompanies it. Four Vondom collections form a discreet score there, in the service of a more open, more sensitive Ibiza, deeply connected to its territory.
This approach reflects the new generation of high-end establishments: the one that puts the guest experience before immediate visual effect. A lesson in restraint that, for many, defines today's luxury.
