Ibiza hotel reopens with chic “beach house” concept

After completing a renovation that began in October last year, the Petunia hotel , located in Ibiza, Spain, has just reopened its doors with a completely renovated architectural and interior design project. Inspired by the concept of "casa payesa", traditional architecture from the Spanish island, the five-star hotel began receiving its first guests in mid-April, on the eve of the start of summer in Europe. With breathtaking views of the island of Es Vedrà , one of Ibiza's postcards, the hotel has reopened with a new composition where organic shapes, white walls, smooth textures, wood and natural elements predominate. The combination, meticulously designed by the team of Argentine architect Lula Galeano , gives the new hotel the feel of a chic “beach house”. Immersed in the project to revitalize the Petunia, the architect moved from New York, where Studio Galeón is located, to Ibiza for six months to closely monitor the works. “A renovation of this size requires someone dedicated full time,” said Galeano in an interview with CASACOR .

“ Our concern was to make each room different and have its own style ,” says Galeano, who helped to search for decorative items, such as lampshades, chandeliers and mirrors, on the island itself. The interiors are decorated in a vibrant 1970s style , with pop elements and a bright color palette, including standout pieces such as Percival Lafer armchairs , Anfibio sofas , Toscanoll chairs , tiled tables by Roger Capron and palm mirrors by Vivai le Sud . In restaurants, the offering has been expanded with new gastronomic concepts that, like the decor, also celebrate local products. La Mirada serves as a rooftop bar , with local drinks, some of which are signature, and views of the sunset. La Mesa Escondida is a space with its own garden where chef Lorenzo reinvents Mediterranean dishes accompanied by an extensive selection of wines. Los Olivos Trattoria & Pizzeria offers an à la carte menu that includes the renowned pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Check out more photos of the Petunia hotel in Ibiza in the gallery:
