The grand reopening of Mint Bar at the Radisson Blu Split took place in July 2025. This fully reimagined beach bar blends elevated design with laid-back luxury, created by renowned AKSL architects. It combines Mediterranean charm with contemporary craftsmanship, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere.
Located at the heart of the hotel, Mint Bar connects seamlessly to an expansive terrace. Guests are welcomed by a striking stone-clad barista counter, displaying fine pastries. Behind it, a cocktail bar with warm wood tones and a mixology station offers both day and night experiences, from artisanal coffee to handcrafted cocktails.
A custom stone communal table with Nor11 bar stools creates an intimate space, while Aroma del Campo wall lighting sets the mood. The interior features layered panels, tactile wallpapers, and bespoke rope artworks by Madidah Art, reinforcing the artistic design.
Flanking the bar are lounge areas with pink and green armchairs, plush sofas, and lush greenery, enhancing comfort. The terrace offers an outdoor sanctuary with rope-detailed lounge chairs, deep green sofas, and thoughtful touches like macrame dividers, completing the garden-like ambiance.
