Would you sleep in a transparent room, visible to everyone, in exchange for free accommodation in Ibiza? Paradiso is a super chic hotel with a Miami Beach slash 70s Art Deco-style concept and an exciting twist that has left a lasting impression on the island of Ibiza.
Located on the beach in the San Antonio Bay area, the Paradiso is a 60-room hotel that was entirely renovated by Ilmio Design in 2018.
At Paradiso, everything revolves around creativity. There are great DJ sessions, concerts, a shop with fantastic vintage clothes, 80s-style aerobics, the possibility of getting a tattoo, and exhibitions of contemporary artists. If that wasn't enough, there is the Zero Suite Project, which offers the option of staying one night for free.
The hotel features pastel pink tones, neon glamour, palm trees, and 70s-style furniture, creating a unique and eye-catching atmosphere.
The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, including the colorful mosaics on the floors and in the bathrooms, the Smeg minibar, Marshall speakers, and even a Rubik's cube for relaxation (or annoyance) in the rooms.
The Art Deco hotel was used as a filming location for an episode of a series about the life of Spanish porn film actor Nacho Vidal.
It was also used for filming several scenes of "The Mystery of the Pink Flamingo," a funny documentary directed by Javier Polo that explores and reflects on the pink flamingo as a quintessential kitsch symbol.

Free room for the brave
Zero Suite is the hotel's concept room where crazy extrovert people and artists can spend a maximum of one night a year, free of charge. Zero Suite stands for zero privacy in exchange for zero euros.
The room is located next to the hotel's reception, with a transparent glass wall dividing you from all the other guests passing by. Don't mind being a part of an improvised reality show where you are the main character? Then, it's time for you to shine!
According to Paradiso, Zero Suite has no shortage of venturesome applicants, and it's been a success since its introduction in 2018. Cancellations are not uncommon, though. Some people freak out at the sight of the totally transparent room exposed to curious eyes and opt for a paid room. So, would you dare to stay for the night here?
Suite
When you get one of the "paid" suites, you get what you deserve. The hippest, most eccentric interiors you can find on the island of Ibiza.
Each suite has a unique character, as the wildly colored designs are complemented by contemporary art pieces by local artists, like this red cat on a blue background.
A retro phone and a Rubik's cube are on one side of the bed, and a quality (Marshall) speaker is on the other. The Smeg fridge in the corner is your mini-bar, and with a stool and a retro bar table, you have a private place to start your evening with some drinks.
The bathrooms have pretty mosaics everywhere, a stone sink, and a spacious walk-in shower for (at least) two.
Private balcony
Grand Suite
The hotel's big pool area hosts a significant portion of the Sonorama Ibiza Festival's concert program. Indie rock bands from all over the country perform here.
Sun and fun come together in the two pools, which are split by an original circular bar where music plays non-stop and refreshing cocktails are made.
Food selection from Andy's Restaurant
You will find it difficult to leave the hotel, lying on one of the large sun loungers, tanning, and trying Andy's delicious foods consisting of exotic starters, salads, pokes, pasta, burgers, wraps, and sweets.
