Renovated Hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj introduces prestigious Riva Destinations

As part of this €9 million investment, Hotel Monte Mulini introduces Riva Destinations, the exclusive lifestyle concept of the legendary Italian brand Riva. With this addition, Rovinj joins a select circle of just eleven global destinations, including Monaco, Venice, Paris, Naples, Como and Mallorca.

This spring, Maistra’s Hotel Monte Mulini reopens following a €9 million investment cycle, which included the refurbishment of accommodation units, restaurants and public areas. The hotel enters the new season with a refreshed identity and contemporary design, aimed at further elevating the guest experience.

As part of this milestone investment, Monte Mulini introduces Riva Destinations, the exclusive lifestyle concept of the legendary Italian brand Riva, part of the Ferretti Group, a global leader in the luxury yacht segment. With this addition, Rovinj joins a select circle of just eleven global destinations, including Monaco, Venice, Paris, Naples, Como and Mallorca, offering guests the full Riva experience beyond yachting.

Within the Riva Destinations concept, the hotel presents Riva Lounge and Riva Privée – spaces conceived as a reinterpretation of the iconic aesthetics of Riva yachts. The Riva Lounge restaurant, located on the hotel’s lowest level, combines a bright indoor area with a panoramic sea-facing terrace, while Riva Privée offers a more intimate setting for private gatherings and special occasions. The interior design draws inspiration from the 1950s and the Dolce Vita aesthetic, featuring signature materials such as mahogany, ribbed maple, polished steel, chrome and aquamarine tones. The space is enhanced with authentic design elements, including Aquariva lamps and chairs inspired by the Aquarama model, as well as archival photographs that evoke the heritage and enduring prestige of the Riva brand. The concept is defined by subtle elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, without overt extravagance, in line with the identity of Hotel Monte Mulini.

Guests will also have access to the Riva Aquariva Special speedboat, a contemporary version of one of the brand’s most celebrated models and a symbol of its modern spirit. This extends the Monte Mulini experience to exclusive sea journeys through the Rovinj archipelago, from exploring hidden coves to curated sunset experiences and private events on the water.

With the introduction of the Riva Destinations concept and continued investment in quality and offerings, Hotel Monte Mulini enters a new phase of development, combining its 17-year tradition of exceptional hospitality with the timeless elegance of one of the world’s most prestigious nautical brands.
