Perched high on the roof terrace of the five-star Aguas de Ibiza complex, with sweeping views over the Santa Eulalia bay, marina and its surrounding pine glades, across to Formentera and up into the seemingly endless sky is Air Ibiza - the ritzy new chill out bar and event location enticing hotel guests and locals alike to linger, lounge and luxuriate from 8pm each night.
The magical moments between dusk and sunset are when Air Ibiza truly comes alive. As the lights of the marina begin to twinkle, the sea reflects the sky’s purple haze, striking blue LED globes light up the wooden decking and the stunning amber-tiled pool (the bar’s piece de resistance if we may say so) becomes illuminated from within, slowly switching hues and creating an ambient atmosphere accessorized with flickering candles surrounding its edges.
Swivel in oversized Phillipe Starck armchairs as you stare at the stars, schmooze by the bar as you sip expertly prepared drinks (though table service is swift) or laze on the stylish red day beds and snack on specialty items from the hotel’s room service menu (light bites and classics like club sandwiches).
High precision cocktails are the order of the evening at Air Ibiza, with a menu ranging from natural fruit juices and the very finest classics like martinis to modern favourites like mojitos.
DJs spin chilled beats, deep house and global sounds to accentuate your evening, and for those who can’t resist the temptation to take a dip (hotel guests are also welcome throughout the day) the pool boasts an impressive underwater sound system, meaning you never need miss a minute of music!
