What You Need to Know
The Look of The Standard, Ibiza
Housed in a sleek and boxy white building that used to be an old movie theater, The Standard, Ibiza simply oozes cool. The interiors are effortlessly chic, with soft textures and materials and a neutral color palette that evoke a sense of calm, but are accented by fun pops of color and eclectic artwork. Speaking of art, the property is dotted with striking murals by artist Nicolás Villamiz. Lush green plants help bring the outdoors in, while ‘60s-inspired touches, including vintage couches, add a fun design-forward flair.
The indoor-outdoor restaurant on the ground floor has a similarly '60s-inspired vibe with orb lamps, a dazzling domed ceiling, plenty of plants, and a squiggly accent wall made of wood. The lavender-lined rooftop bar, aptly named UP, is just as chic, with a swimming pool, plush day beds, and panoramic city views. The 53 sun-drenched rooms and suites are minimalist but anything but basic, with retro furnishings and clean lines, all accented by colorfully patterned throw pillows. Select units offer free-standing tubs, Juliet balconies, and separate living spaces.
