Monte Mulini and Riva Destinations Celebrate the Beginning of an Exclusive Partnership in Rovinj
An exclusive event was held last night at Maistra’s Hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj to mark the beginning of its partnership with the legendary Italian brand Riva and the launch of the Riva Destinations concept, placing Rovinj among a select circle of prestigious global destinations including Monaco, Venice, Paris, Como and Mallorca.

Set against sunset views, live music, gourmet offerings and an ambience inspired by the aesthetics of the Italian Dolce Vita, guests were among the first to experience the new face of Hotel Monte Mulini, which reopened on 14 May following a €9 million investment cycle. The renovated hotel features refreshed accommodation units, restaurants and public areas, alongside an elevated level of personalised service.

At the heart of the evening was the new Riva Lounge, an elegant seafront space designed in the unmistakable style of the Riva brand, with details inspired by the legendary Riva boats – mahogany finishes, references to the iconic Aquarama models and a sophisticated atmosphere evoking the timeless charm of Italian nautical lifestyle. During the evening, guests were also introduced to exclusive Riva experiences, including private cruises aboard the Riva Aquariva Special, a contemporary interpretation of one of the brand’s most iconic models.
“Through this partnership, Monte Mulini is opening a new chapter in its development while further strengthening Rovinj’s position as one of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious destinations. Collaborating with a brand such as Riva is a natural continuation of our strategy focused on exceptional experiences, personalised service and premium offerings that bring added value and emotion to every stay,” said Tomislav Popović, President of the Management Board of Maistra.

The atmosphere of the opening event and the guests’ first impressions further confirmed the excitement surrounding Monte Mulini’s new chapter. Alongside the striking design and new gastronomic offering, guests particularly highlighted the sense of privacy, the immediate connection with the sea and an experience that combines contemporary luxury with a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.
With the arrival of the Riva Lounge, Monte Mulini continues to develop Rovinj’s luxury lifestyle offering while further positioning the destination among the Mediterranean’s most desirable addresses for luxury travel and experiences.
