Hotel Mongibello feels like a tranquil escape from the electric pace of Ibiza. It’s a stunning hideaway and its beauty lies in its stylish details. Perched on top of a hill, Mongibello’s entrance leaves an impression. Guests are greeted by a gigantic statue in a fountain circled by cushioned seating. Outside the hotel’s white double doors are blue bicycles and a vintage red Italian car. Its ivory exteriors with touches of rouge are a chic contrast to the hotel’s coastal white and blue colour palette. From the custom teal tiles to the white piano, the beauty of the ocean waves outside are tastefully incorporated into the hotel’s interior design. 

Mongibello is one of several hotels imagined by the Ibiza’s Hotel Concept Group, known for its signature retro themed hotels like fashion hotel Los Felices and art hotel Paradiso. Mongibello, however, stands out from the rest as its aesthetic is a little closer to home than its counterparts inspired by destinations like Miami and Cuba. Mongibello is distinctly Mediterranean, paying homage to the Amalfi Coast with an art deco twist. It is a taste of Italy’s la dolce vita brought to the Balaeriac islands. 

Positioned right by the beach, Mongibello is grand and elegant. Particularly if you get yourself a room with a sea view or one of its 32 suites named after icons of the island. The tiles from the room extend onto the balcony creating a seamless indoors-outdoors connection. Waking up to the chirping of birds and the crashing of waves is a simple pleasure complimented by the lush details of the room, like rouge velvet headboards and custom architectural mirrors. Although it would have been great to see some of the stunning elements of Italian design incorporated into the standard bathrooms too. 

Mongibello has some relaxing activities to explore, too. Whether that be yoga overlooking the ocean on Saturday mornings, dancing at their hidden bar Lola’s in evening or simply lounging by their ocean view pool. The restaurant food is particularly spectacular, with owner Diego Calvo claiming that they have the best carbonara on the island. In all its charm, Mongibello is undoubtedly one of the best stays in Ibiza.
