Riu Palace La Mola reopens as four-star superior hotel

Riu Palace La Mola has reopened as a four-star superior hotel following an extensive overhaul, the company says.

The project marks a milestone for RIU as Luis and Roberto Riu Rodríguez were given full control of the refurbishment, “a first for the brothers,” reads a press release.

The Hotel Riu La Mola, located on the island of Formentera, opens its doors after joining the top-level Riu Palace line, embodying the charm of the Mediterranean island.

In addition, the hotel, which is next to Migjorn beach, has been upgraded from a four-star to a four-star superior hotel.

The hotel is the same size as it was before, but after the renovation its spaces have been optimized and a unique atmosphere has been created.

The hotel’s new décor incorporates details that enhance its Mediterranean roots and lend it an exclusive touch that is very much in line with the style of the island of Formentera.

Property-wide upgrades

The improvements to the hotel include the expansion of the lobby, which is now bigger in terms of both space and height, offering guests a striking first impression thanks to its bright and thoughtful design.

Another aspect to highlight is the extension of the terrace. Here, panoramic views and a new outdoor area for performances can be enjoyed.

The hotel still has 345 rooms, but they all have a new look and have become more spacious in some cases. The hotel now boasts more suites, however. There are now a total of eight with prime views of the Mediterranean.

The range of cuisine has also been expanded. A new “à la carte” restaurant has been added, making a total of three restaurants: “Sargantana”, the main restaurant, “Krystal”, the gourmet à la carte restaurant, and “Ilios”, the hotel’s snack restaurant by the sea.

In addition, the hotel’s fitness centre and SPA have also been given a facelift, as has the solarium, which now offers Balinese beds.

The refurbished Riu Palace La Mola also now has a new RIU Land Kid’s club with a children’s swimming pool, making a total of four pools, three for adults and one for children.
