The Riva Destination collection is enriched with a new, exclusive destination in the heart of the Mediterranean: a refined Riva Lounge inside the iconic Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá, on the enchanting island of Mallorca.
The official inauguration, held on 15 May with an exclusive gala on the sea, was attended by celebrities, including Chiara Ferragni and Martina Colombari, representatives of institutions and leading figures from Majorcan high society, celebrating the beginning of the collaboration between Riva and the prestigious Gran Meliá hotel group, in the spirit of Mediterranean elegance.
Nestled in a lush garden overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the new Lounge expresses the unmistakeable Riva style, reinterpreted in a contemporary key through iconic furnishings and materials. The result is a unique environment where the timeless charm of the brand that symbolises nautical excellence blends with the sophisticated hospitality of Gran Meliá.
The Riva Lounge is divided into an elegant indoor room and a splendid panoramic terrace facing the sea, complemented by an exclusive Riva Privée. Every element is a tribute to the legendary design of Riva yachts: from the fine mahogany to the striped maple, from the polished steel to the famous Aquariva lamp and the unmistakable Aquarama seats.
To make the Riva experience at the resort even more immersive, a magnificent Rivamare is available for private charter upon reservation, dedicated to both hotel guests and external visitors. A unique opportunity to explore the island’s most picturesque bays, enjoy an aperitif at sunset or experience an unforgettable dinner on the open sea aboard a masterpiece of nautical design.
Designed by renowned Spanish architect José Antonio Coderch and nicknamed “the chocolate building” due to its distinctive ceramic tile cladding, the Hotel de Mar overlooks the coast of Illetes and has been an icon of Majorcan architecture and luxury hospitality for over sixty years.
After Venice, Monte Carlo, Paris and Jeddah, Mallorca joins the Riva Destination universe, a collection of extraordinary locations where guests can relive the sophisticated and timeless atmosphere of the world’s most beloved nautical brand.
