The timeless boutique hotel on Ibiza’s southeast coast is set to awaken from winter hibernation on April 10, 2025.

The southeast coast of Ibiza is slowly awakening from its off-season slumber. Fitness enthusiasts are already pounding the promenade, super-keen sun-worshippers have been spotted on the sands, and the scent of fresh paint lingers in the air as local businesses prepare for the year ahead. On the far south end of Santa Eulalia beach, Hotel Riomar Ibiza is primed and ready to reopen its doors on Thursday April 10, 2025; its dedicated team having happily returned from their winter sojourns, its timeless façade looking as elegant and welcoming as ever, and its enviable beachfront position making it one of the most in-demand hotels in the area for laid-back summer escapes.

Here, you can embrace slow living, letting each day unfold at a lazy pace. It’s your holiday, your way. The beauty of staying at Hotel Riomar Ibiza is knowing that you have the best of the island on your doorstep – beautiful soft sand beaches, world-class gastronomy, a thriving health and wellness scene, and nightlife like nowhere else in the world. It’s all yours when you want to feel a part of the island’s rhythm, but when you just want to kick back and relax, the hotel becomes your own private sanctuary, with the beach, the pool, the restaurant and the garden all just a few easy steps from your stylish room.

Set right on the soft, golden sand at the south end of Santa Eulalia, Hotel Riomar Ibiza has a timeless elegance with a contemporary twist.

There are 116 rooms and suites at Hotel Riomar Ibiza, all light-filled, open and designed to be in harmony with the nature surrounding the venue. With views out to sea, over the countryside and across to the iconic white dome of the Puig de Missa church, there’s beauty wherever you look. Contemporary interior design and plush bedding (hello pillow menu!) make every stay oh-so-comfortable, and each room is equipped with all the mod cons a discerning traveller could ever need. And good news for those travelling with furry friends in tow – the hotel is also pet-friendly.

Modern lifestyles mean that not every holiday to Ibiza is responsibility free, and with this in mind, Hotel Riomar Ibiza will be introducing the new Brisa Meeting Room in 2025 – a peaceful and functional space for guests who’ll be remote working during their stay. Whether you’re travelling with your team for a bonding experience, taking some time out to work on your side hustle or simply fusing family time with the occasional Zoom meeting, it’s the ideal space for sharing ideas, hosting group chats or simply enjoying a change of scenery from your regular office outlook.

When hunger strikes, there’s no shortage of places to sate your appetite at Hotel Riomar Ibiza, from the laid-back surrounds of the Pool Deck – where food and drink can be delivered direct to your daybed or cabana – and the idyllic beachfront sunbeds, to the chic surrounds of the hotel’s flagship restaurant, Ocean Brasserie and Bar. Perched on the stylish wooden decking, with an incredible view over the beach and out to sea, the restaurant is also open to the public for lunch and dinner. Indulge in a menu brimming with fresh Mediterranean flavours, sip on craft cocktails, savour a selection of fine wines from around the world and listen to the sounds of live music – from Cuban bands and Flamenco artists to international visitors and more – all beneath the beautiful Balearic sky. Where the night takes you when the music’s over, well, that’s up to you…

There’s also plenty of fun to be had at Hotel Riomar Ibiza when the time is right, and there’s no better place to find it than the Tribe Garden. Secluded within the grounds of the hotel, this magical grown-up playground – peppered with daybeds and teepees – is a place for gathering with your nearest and dearest. Ideal for private events such as wellness cerremonies, weddings, alfresco dinners and group celebrations (all available on request), it’s a place where you can gather in the morning light or as the sun starts to fade, enjoying the open-air space as the moon and stars rise high in the sky.

Whether you danced until dawn or have just woken up after a full night’s sleep, there’s no denying the appeal of Santa Eulalia Bay at sunrise, as flaming orange sun rises majestically from the sea right before your very eyes. There’s a reason the team at Hotel Riomar Ibiza organise sunrise yoga classes – the energy-shifting magic at this time of the morning is undeniable. The ‘other’ side of Ibiza is certainly not a secret these days, but it’s definitely something guests at the hotel can make the most of, with tailored wellness treatments, massages and revitalising ice baths available daily, plus bike rentals, kayaking, hiking and even more adventurous water and land activities around the island for those who dare.
