DESIGN HOTELS™ INTRODUCES AGUAS DE IBIZA -

THE ECO-LUXURY EXPERIENCE

Berlin, 26 June 2008 – This September a stunning new hotel concept will hit
the Balearic Islands: the Aguas de Ibiza Spa & Resort. The waterside hotel
is proudly “anchored” in Ibiza’s Santa Eulalia Bay marina. Built by local
architect Juan de los Ríos, designed by Barcelona-based Triade Studio and
run by the Torres family, the Aguas de Ibiza boasts an elegant and modern
ambience. It is warmed by a philosophy of friendly and personalised service
that enables guests to delve into the essence of Ibiza.

In all, Aguas de Ibiza offers 112 individually styled rooms and suites. The
deluxe rooms and suites distributed across the first three floors all come
with private terraces and large glass windows. But the utmost in luxury is
reserved for the exclusive Cloud 9 club on the fourth floor – essentially, a
hotel within the hotel, complete with its own check-in desk, design scheme,
services and amenities. Cloud 9’s luxurious lofts, and the one and only
Presidential Ibiza Loft feature hardwood parquet floors, private terraces
partially with oversized bathtubs and spectacular harbour views. Special
amenities, such as a pillow menu and a welcome pack, guarantee a more
than relaxing stay. Like all rooms in the Aguas, the Cloud 9 lofts also come
equipped with the latest technologies – including digital cable TV shown on
chic Bang & Olufsen monitors and state-of-the-art, energy-saving domotics
for personalized lighting and curtain control.

The interior design by Kim Castells and Jordi Cuenca of Triade Studio is
strongly influenced by the Mediterranean. Dominating colours on the first
three floors are blue and white for a crisp and fresh impression whereas in
Cloud 9 warm tones like beige and brown are used to create an intimate
atmosphere. The Torres family describes the style of the hotel as “eco-
luxurious” combining eco-friendly materials and technology as well as Feng
Shui interior design with an indulging touch. As one of the first hotels
worldwide Aguas de Ibiza reduces energy usage by more than 35 percent in
comparison to other properties in the luxury segment.

Alberto Torres, seasoned hotelier and owner of the new resort: “Aguas de
Ibiza will be the most luxurious hotel on the island. We are blending the
charming character of a rural finca with all the services and the style of a
contemporary hotel like you would find in New York. This mixture creates
an extraordinary new type of guest-experience. To top this off, we are
adding a very personal touch to the whole concept because the hotel is
family run. My children and I were born in Ibiza. The island has given so
much to us and now we felt it was time to give something back.”
 The Aguas offers a gym, climatized pools with mineral salts, three outdoor
pools – including one on the rooftop with impeccable views over the marina
– a beauty salon and a boutique, with wireless Internet available throughout
the hotel. The on-site Business Centre spans 4,300 square feet and consists
of a private garden as well as a multi-use hall that can host up to 300
people. It can also be divided into three independent function rooms. For
top management, the Aguas offers the innovative High Performance
Executive Centre.

Aguas de Ibiza has plenty to offer those guests searching for relaxation,
rejuvenation or some good ole’ fun. Its sumptuous Revival Wellness Club,
conceived by wellness expert Félix Prado, was inspired by the
Mediterranean waters for which the Aguas is named and is accordingly
devoted to the therapeutic properties of H2O. The quiet oasis offers
everything from treatments with Ibiza salts to aromatherapy with seagrass
and almonds. For a more social experience, guests can have a drink at the
lively Scuba cocktail bar or kick back at the trendy Air Ibiza. With this
rooftop bar the Torres family is creating a unique spot on the island. It will
be the first rooftop chill-out bar in Ibiza with an exotic golden-tiled pool
inviting its guests to dip in and indulge. Resident DJs will create the right
soundtrack for a good night out in Ibiza´s hottest location with sweeping
views of the island of Formentera and the Marina of Santa Eulalia. The
Aguas also offers numerous dining options, ranging from sophisticated
tapas at the cheerful Alabastro Lounge, stylish Mediterranean specialities at
the Oligo: Madeinterranean, to modern interpretations of traditional Ibizan
dishes at the gourmet restaurant La Sal.

Nicolás González Mira, Director of the Aguas de Ibiza: “With the Aguas de
Ibiza we want to create an authentic Ibicencan experience for our guests.
We consider ourselves as hosts welcoming friends and guests to our
beautiful island.”
