The world of luxury increasingly looks to the sky, seeking to satisfy discerning guests with experiences that celebrate nature’s most stunning spectacles. A perfect example of this evolution is the rise of sophisticated rooftop terraces — open-air spaces offering breathtaking panoramic views. But beyond these qualities, in recent years these venues have been elevated with premium services like those found in the Star Prestige category, where sunshine, gastronomy, and ambiance take center stage. With these tips, you’ll know how to recognize a truly modern terrace.
First feature: the furniture. It’s all about hammocks, loungers, Balinese beds, and even jacuzzis. Today, it’s not enough to relax your eyes with a calm maritime horizon — your body also deserves the comfort of a soft seat from which to see the world from a far more pleasurable perspective.
Room for everyone! That’s right. Gone are the days of crowded terraces. These are places to relax, unwind, and enjoy the feeling of space without having to rush to get the best view of the Caribbean from your table. It also means having attentive, efficient service that transforms your personal corner of leisure into an open-air suite.
The third feature might seem obvious, but it isn’t: location. It’s not enough to simply be outdoors; the idea is to have Barcelona right at the foot of your lounger or to feel the Caribbean breeze at Playa Paraíso without even touching the sand. To make that happen, always opt for terraces where a modern skyline or the waves form the perfect visual symbiosis.
At our hotel in Ibiza, you’ll find the perfect blend of peace, panoramic views, Mediterranean style, and spaciousness. The only question is whether to enjoy the evening’s celestial show from a modern lounge chair or while floating in the serene pool of this adults-only hotel.
Last but not least, a premium terrace must connect with its surroundings in as many ways as possible. The most obvious, of course, are the views — like those at the Iberostar Suites Jardín del Sol, with its privileged panoramas over the Santa Ponça cove. But it doesn’t stop there. Both the design and the menu should feature local products and dishes that create a multisensory connection with the flavors and aromas of the region, making the experience as complete as possible. And now that you know how to tell a premium terrace from an ordinary one — there’s only one thing left to do: experience it!
