AMÀRE BEACH HOTEL IBIZA ENTICES IN THE SUMMER

Ibiza is one of Spain’s most revered party destinations in the summer, but it is also a beautiful spot to visit all-year-round, with beaches like Cala Jondal, Cala D’Hort and Ses Salines attracting celebrities and everyday beach lovers alike, year after year. The Amàre Hotel in Marbella now has a sister hotel in this famed oasis: the Amàre Beach Hotel Ibiza, run by the renowned Fuerte Group of hotels. Amàre is an adults-only brand, making it a great choice for those after a child-free holiday in a frontline beach location.

A GREAT START TO YOUR HOLIDAY

The Amàre Beach Hotel Ibiza is home to 366 rooms, over 80 per cent of which have a sea view. Oliver Cramer, Director of Operations of Amàre Hotels, notes that the launch was a breeze after having experienced similar challenges in Marbella: “The implementation of our standards was easier than we think. On the one hand, Marbella and Ibiza are pretty similar. Moreover, some of the group’s most experienced managers moved to Ibiza to share their expertise and make the transition easier.”

SOMETHING SPECIAL

The Amàre brand is known for a wealth of details that make a stay special. These include special nature-inspired fragrances in common areas and rooms, music to suit areas where people congregate, and happy, neutral, Mediterranean colours in the interiors. All these ingredients inspire relaxation and the kind of mood that spells the start of a great holiday.

FOOD AND FUN

As is the case with her Marbella sister, Amàre Ibiza has a strong gastronomic appeal. Michelin-starred Chef Mauricio Giovanini (of Messina fame) has opened Restaurante Hayaca on the Hotel’s rooftop. There, guests will tuck into fantastic Latin fusion cuisine. No beachside holiday is complete without a cocktail in hand and you won’t be disappointed by the impressive list of drinks created by barman Diego Cabrero (whose Madrid establishment was named one of the World’s 50 Best Bars). At this hotel, you can sample his fare at Belvue – the rooftop bar, which is the perfect spot from which to take in the mysterious beauty of the Ibicenco sunset.

PRIVACY AND TOGETHERNESS

The Amàre Ibiza is meant to be as social or as private as you wish it to be. The Amàre Club is divided into three zones: Amàre Lounge, Amàre Pool, and Amàre Beach. Here, you can de-stress, suntan on a comfy sunbed, or enjoy a swim in the swimming pools or by the beach. The rooftop area has an elegant infinity pool. In these spaces, guests will enjoy live performances, including some by renowned DJs.

A HEALTHY HOLIDAY

The Amàre has a big health focus, with many options for those seeking to take greater care of their physical and mental wellbeing. The Mare Nostrum restaurant contains a wealth of topquality local produce. Before enjoying an energising meal, however, why not head to Amàre Fitness by Technogym, which is open 24/7 and boasts cutting-edge equipment?

You can also avail of the Wellness by Germaine de Capuccini service and take part in activities such as yoga, bike rides, jet skis, and diving. The Hotel is located in a privileged spot in Cala de Bou and it has a small pier from which you can sail via boat to other parts of the island. If you are on a romantic vacation there is plenty of reason to stay indoors, of course; rooms have appealing names like Oh là là, Dolce Vita, Keep the Secret and Make it Happen, which pretty much sum up the appeal of this luxury island escape.
