Hotel Mongibello

Named for the fictional town in author Patricia Highsmith’s masterpiece, The Talented Mr Ripley, Hotel Mongibello whisks guests away to the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast of the 1960s, effortlessly blending this golden era with the salacious energy of Ibiza’s past and present. The meticulously crafted spaces echo retro Italian design through the hotel’s gorgeous restaurants and bars, 136 luxury rooms and 32 indulgent suites. With a seafront location in Siesta providing the magical backdrop for hedonists on a quest for decadent island escapades, this exquisite adult-only Ibiza boutique hotel celebrates the concept of la dolce far niente – loosely translated as ‘the art of pleasure’ – with gusto.

The pristine waters of Caló de s’Alga are just steps away from Hotel Mongibello, where guests are transported into a captivating vintage world created by Diego Calvo and the team at Concept Hotel Group, alongside interior designers Michele Corbani and Andrea Spada of Ilmiodesign. Each room boasts sea or mountain views and is decked out in crisp navy blue and white with decadent deep red accents in keeping with the hotel’s distinct colour palette. Plush beds, old school dial-up telephones, Marshall speakers, retro minibars and air-con are all part of the parcel.

Each of the 32 suites at Hotel Mongibello have been designed in homage to legendary Ibiza characters including Pacha founder Ricardo Urgell and PR guru Carlos Martorell, Spanish motorcycle champion (and long-term island resident) Angel Nieto, fashion designer Charo Ruiz, World Family matriarch Merel Krielaart, and visionary Amnesia founder Antonio Eschotado among many others. All have been honoured with stunning portraits hung throughout the Ibiza boutique hotel by renowned Ibiza artist Marco Torres.

The culinary offerings at this stylish Ibiza boutique hotel remain firmly within its wonderfully eccentric ethos. Bar Aperitivo spreads out under elegant striped parasols alongside Hotel Mongibello’s expansive swimming pool – crowned by El Gazebo, the perfect spot for an Instagram moment. Sparkling sea vistas expand from the patio of the stunning Ibiza boutique hotel, where a bold concept is provided by the über-cool Dante NYC, featuring tasty appetisers, crispy salads, burgers and sandwiches, pizzas and pastas for lazy pool days.

La Terrazza channels a mix of Italian flair and Mediterranean flavours with upper east side elegance to deliver Hotel Mongibello guests delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. After dark, stop by the clandestine Lola’s, the Ibiza boutique hotel’s secret room named after one of the island’s first discotheques. Seductive and intimate, this is the spot to indulge in spontaneous connections lubricated by curious cocktails and a provocative soundtrack.

Channel your inner Monica Vitti or Marcello Mastroianni with Insta-snaps lazing on Hotel Mongibello’s lipstick-red Alfa Romeo Spider or classic Vespa. Outsiders and island residents can also enjoy this incredible Ibiza boutique hotel with a day-pass along with a program of special events including open-air movie nights featuring the classics of Italian cinema. Surrender to the irresistible charm of Hotel Mongibello, where the essence of la dolce vita and the magic of Ibiza intertwine to create an unforgettable island getaway.
