Rock 'n' roll hotel
2011 SNEAK PEEK! This year, Hotel Es Vive celebrates ten years on the island, so expect plenty of exciting happenings, celebrations, special deals and new features throughout the season, including Radio Es Vive, live broadcasts from around the pool online and via iTunes. Now smack bang in the middle of major refurbishments, Es Vive promises to remain your favourite party hotel... only better!
Tucked away like a miniature enchanted kingdom in Figueretes is the infamous Art Deco-meets-rock’n’roll Es Vive Hotel. With a cool turquoise-on-white façade hiding the decadent thump of a hard-partying heart, it’s easy to see why this funky hotel is renowned as one of the island’s true must-dos.
By day, guests lounge next to the sapphire pool - boasting brand new decking and glossy new tiling for 2011 - sipping icy cocktails and listening to the smooth sounds of resident poolside DJs. Behind the scenes, the Es Vive spa – under the expert care of manager Nikki Porteus - provides the perfect cocoon of indulgence with relaxing massages and beauty treatments leaving post-party skin fresh as a daisy.
Quash any cravings in the restaurant (open to the public) with mouth-watering homemade pizza creations, classic fish and chips, green chicken curry or opt for head chef Juan Dechecco’s signature dish, lamb rack with a seeded crust, served with quinoa risotto and sweet corn relish – lush!
It’s at night however, that the real Es Vive comes out to play. Three intimate rooms with undeniable glamour make up the Experience Bar, where from midnight, regular promoters provide the perfect musical accompaniment. For 2011, the Bar will revamped and 100 percent soundproofed, meaning all night parties won't wake any guests... or neighbours!
Feeling tired? You can always take a disco nap in one of the 53 uniquely furnished rooms (all of which are being renovated for 2011), with all-new double glazed windows guaranteeing a quiet, uninterrupted slumber. But let’s be honest: who wants to go to bed when there’s so much happening? Especially when you can sleep by the pool tomorrow…
