Opening in mid-May, Dunas De La Formentera will be a secluded and tranquil hideout in the laid-back island of Formentera, which is a short ferry ride from Ibiza. The hotel will sit under the Marugal portfolio, which already boasts properties in Spain, France, Portugal and Switzerland. Set among the dunes of Mijorn beach, with just 44 rooms, the hotel’s low key, chic interiors have been designed by the Palma-based studio Antonio Obrador, who have worked on previous properties in the brand’s portfolio. With respect for the surrounding environment, the design team has taken an existing hotel property and modernised it for today’s traveller. The large rooms and suites, some in the main building, some in private bungalows, are all connected by pathways and boardwalks through the dunes.
The interior hues are in harmony with the surrounding landscape with a sandy and off-white colour palette, reflecting the sunshine and natural daylight. Jute, luxurious linens, terracotta, stucco, wood and ceramic latticing and continuous flooring all create a feeling of uncomplicated, effortless privacy. The menu of the all-day restaurant, will feature native ingredients from the land and the sea, complemented by Mediterranean produce, changing daily with the morning’s catch and seasonal nuances. As well as being a stone’s throw from the beach, Dunas de Formentera will have a large infinity pool with views over the sea.
