As the glass doors part at the Hotel Riomar, a Marriott Bonvoy Tribute Portfolio Hotel on Ibiza, you’re greeted by a lobby filled with comfy chairs, low-hanging plants, and a vibrant bar. Walk straight ahead, and you’ll find yourself on the outdoor patio area, with dreamy views of Santa Eulalia Bay. It’s the perfect stay on this island that is equal parts all-night party center and wellness destination.

The interiors have colors of cream, beige, and burnt-orange, and the beautifully designed marble floors, hints of light wooden furniture, and subtle lighting bring to life the coastal Ibizan vibes. Similar to the Ibizan landscapes, rooms are simplistically bright, with natural light seeping through the large bay windows overlooking the beach. From the room, you can start your morning with the soft sound of waves crashing, catch a sunrise behind the turquoise waters, and enjoy breakfast on a private terrace.

Tribute Portfolio Hotels are known for inviting, open spaces that attract hotel guests and locals. Hotel Riomar is no exception. The pool area is a great day-time escape, filled with lounge chairs and lush cabanas. You can get away in TRIBE, the secluded garden area filled with floating cabanas. Massages and facials are available for ultimate relaxation.

Begin your day with clarity with one of Hotel Riomar’s complimentary wellness classes. Ask the front desk for a schedule, and enjoy morning hatha, vinyasa, restorative, or bliss yoga. Or find a different type of wellness on the beach.

Lounge chairs are available for hotel guests to enjoy the views of Santa Eulalia Bay from the sand, with beach-side dining available (be sure to try one of the hotel’s protein shakes that are light, refreshing, and made with an array of fruits and greens).

An all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast of fruits and pastries is offered every day makes it easy to start the morning off refreshed as you take in the stunning views of the beach. Though you don’t have to head into the hotel for the first meal — instead, you can schedule a take-out breakfast to be delivered to your room next morning.

Just outside on the main deck, you’ll find Ocean Brasserie & Bar. A sun-drenched escape from the beach hustle by day and a buzzing hub by night, this spot is perfect for unwinding and taking in the ubiquitous music that defines Ibiza. The menu features highlights like hand-picked local produce, fresh seafood, Iberian ham, tuna tartare, and beef carpaccio along with an assortment of burgers and salads. From the bar, three types of sangria are served by the liter, and signature spritzes and cocktails join the menu alongside classic cocktails, an impressive wine list, fresh juices, and smoothies.

If you’d rather make your drinks, you can take an hierbas class at the hotel booked through the front desk. This anise-flavored Spanish liqueur is a staple throughout the country. Master your senses and listen to your body, as you’re presented with a variety of flavors and scents. Choose flavors based on your palate, learn how to properly mix the ingredients, and lock your bottle away for about 6 months to allow the flavors to age.
