BIBA
Eighty-five years after its storied beginnings, BIBA has been reimagined as a private members’ club and boutique hotel in the historic El Cid neighborhood. Conceived as a sense of place, a way of life, and a state of mind, BIBA blends art, design, gastronomy, and culture to create an intimate sanctuary for a discerning international community.
More than a destination, BIBA is a stage for creativity, conversation, and connection. Here, members savor refined experiences across dining, hospitality, and events, all within a tropical enclave that evokes the cosmopolitan spirit of Paris, London, New York, and Milan.
