    CASA GRACIÓ HOTEL S.L.U.

OKU is a lifestyle luxury hotel which is located in Cala Gració and surrounded by lush hills.The architects were inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi and focused on earthy tones and natural materials.The hotel was created in two phases.It comprises 184 guestrooms and suites, a 140m2 signature suite, a standalone four-bedroom villa with a private pool, ocean-view penthouses, two hotel pools –one of them, the largest in Ibiza, a further semi-private pool serving the six swim-up rooms, two restaurants, a gym,and an spa.The simplicity and design offer its visitors the experience of barefoot living, which creates a harmonious relationship with the earth. It makes the most of natural light and shadows. Their ingenious balance gives an enviable energy field where our soul is fully relieved. Each room combines a minimal and bohemian style-which the island used to have-with modern elements(paintings and head sculptures). The majority of the rooms consists of wooden, mobile elements with the aim of offering privacy to the customers but simultaneously,they add another design tone with the shadows. That’s because the balconies are designed as ledges of the interior of the building.
