Palladium Hotel Group in association with Spain Tourism Board and Spain Consulate Mumbai recently organised an exclusive dinner for select travel trade partners in Mumbai. Attended by close to 30 travel experts, the event proved to be an excellent platform to gain first-hand knowledge on the latest travel guidelines to Spain and hotel updates by Palladium Hotel Group.

Founded and headquartered in Ibiza, local hotel group Palladium Hotel Group has rounded up a selection of new developments at the island’s most sought-after venues. It includes the brand-new TRS Ibiza Hotel which is an adults-only venue and the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach, which will host a series of live shows by Duran Duran during the summer.

The company will begin to open its beach hotels in Ibiza, Menorca and Sicily from April 1, with Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, Palladium Hotel Don Carlos and Palladium Hotel Palmyra the first to welcome guests alongside Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa. The group’s only beachfront hotel in mainland Spain, Palladium Hotel Costa del Sol, has already opened for the season.

During the brief presentation, Sandra Polo Canudas, Asia Pacific Sales Manager, Palladium Hotel Group provided all the updates on the upcoming hotels and events and predicted a strong summer season for the hotel group. She said, “This year, we will open even earlier than we did in 2019 as people start to rediscover the allure of travel once again. Some of the hotels within the Palladium portfolio have been repositioned ahead of the 2022 season, while the TRS Ibiza Hotel is due to open in mid-May.”

The long-awaited summer season in Ibiza is within touching distance and it is getting ready to welcome holidaymakers back to the White Isle for what is expected to be one of the longest summer seasons yet. Many establishments are opening earlier this summer to capitalise on a growing appetite for travel and hotels have spent millions of euros in preparation.

TRS Ibiza Hotel

TRS Ibiza Hotel is one of the most anticipated openings of the year and will be the only five-star, all-inclusive property on the island that is exclusively for adults. It will revolutionise the all-inclusive concept, giving guests access to not just the services and facilities at the hotel, but also to dining and entertainment experiences at the island’s most outstanding venues thanks to exclusive partnerships.

Located on the west coast of the island, the hotel’s sky lounge with infinity pool is set to become a hotspot for watching the famous San Antonio sunsets, accompanied by live music. Three à la carte restaurants offer guests high quality international and local dishes, and personalised butler service for every guest will allow for ultimate relaxation.

BLESS Hotel Ibiza

Spanish chef Martin Berasategui, who has 12 Michelin stars to his name, launches a new tasting menu at his Ibiza restaurant Etxeko for this season, with dishes that will focus on local produce. Alongside its award-winning restaurant, BLESS Hotel Ibiza’s EPIC Infinity Lounge will feature a series of jazz events against a backdrop of breath-taking sea views during the season.

The hotel is also launching new wellness packages with activities and events focused on relaxation and rejuvenation.

Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel

Playa d’en Bossa’s flagship property, Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel returns this season with refreshed luxury, gastronomy and entertainment experiences that have made the hotel a globally recognised brand. The avant-garde hotel has updated interiors, new dining options and a full live events programme for the first time in two years.

The hotel-meets-venue will open the same weekend as its opening party, which takes place on April 30 and will be its earliest ever season opener. Joining forces with superclub Hï Ibiza to present Better Together across the opening weekend, the two clubs will feature performances by many of the biggest names in electronic music.

Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza

Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza will this season recognise some of the greatest moments in music history. Guests will be able to enjoy memorabilia from legendary artists that are connected to significant milestones, such as albums The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars from David Bowie and The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St, which both turn 50 this summer.

The music immersion will continue with Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza’s weekly events agenda, which will once again feature international artists at its beachfront, open-air stage, while live pop-up performances will delight guests at other locations across the hotel. Opening on April 8.

Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa and Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa

The five-star all-inclusive resorts, Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa and Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa offer a touch of luxury underneath the glorious Balearic skies. The neighbouring properties are located at the far end of Playa d’en Bossa, just a short walk from the beach clubs that have made the area famous.

Within the resort, an all-new wine and tapas bar will open to guests this season, adding to an already gleaming list of culinary options including 11 onsite bars and restaurants. Opening April 1 and April 8.

Agroturismo Sa Talaia

Sitting atop a hill in the countryside above San Antonio, Agroturismo Sa Talaia is a relaxing, rural destination for adults-only surrounded by idyllic gardens featuring jasmine, pine and citrus. With just 12 bedrooms, the former mansion house provides a remote yet sophisticated space for couples or groups of friends to disconnect in the middle of nature.

Rooms are set in separate buildings around the grounds, creating an exclusive oasis surrounded by pine trees and exquisite gardens. The manor’s alluring central pool framed by palm trees and a modern indoor restaurant serving tapas next to a chic bar complete the intimate atmosphere.
