Seaside glamour

The familiar and fabulous Art Deco façade of Ocean Drive Hotel has been bringing year-round seaside glamour to Marina Botafoch for over a decade. Inside the hotel – a member of Design Hotels and Kiwi Collection – the glamour continues, with 40 sumptuous rooms, a restaurant and the unique rooftop bar.

Located within minutes of Ibiza’s beaches and nightlife, it’s no suprise the hotel’s elegant collection of suites, double deluxe and individual deluxe rooms - furnished by Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier - are booked solid all summer long.

For island locals and guests alike, the suave rooftop lounge bar, Ocean Sky, is the icing on the cake of this island institution. With nightly DJs (look out for the big names) spinning laidback beats, icy cold cocktails and a view to die for, it’s the perfect place to kickstart any evening.

Run with ultra-professional, discrete charm by Viennese director Enrique Mandl, Ocean Drive is a favourite among the fashionable jet set, international party people, DJs and discerning holidaymakers alike. But contrary to what you might think, this is not a party hotel.

The atmosphere is restful and rejuvenating, offering extra touches like breakfast served to your room until 4pm or in the relaxed privacy of the rooftop terrace. A chic, post-party hideaway, where the late checkout is almost encouraged!
