OKU Hotels is delighted to announce the appointment of Enrique Mandl as Chief Operating Officer of the collection and General Manager of OKU Ibiza.
Enrique brings with him a wealth of experience from the European hotel and tourism industry. He joins OKU Hotels from his role as General Manager at LIO Restaurant Club Cabaret in Ibiza, where he was also responsible for overseeing the operations of LIO globally.
Prior to this, Enrique worked as General Manager at Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay and El Lodge Ski & Spa Resort in Sierra Nevada in Spain respectively.

While at El Lodge Ski & Spa Resort, Enrique led the team during the pre-opening and opening phase, positioning the property as one of the leading ski resorts in Spain and Europe.
A native Austrian, Enrique embarked on his career having successfully completed the management trainee programme at Hotel Im Palais Schwarzenberg in Vienna.

He has since set up home in Ibiza having spent years working in many of the hotels across the island. Enrique looks forward to joining the team at OKU Hotels, overseeing the development of the brand and the upcoming launch of OKU Ibiza.
OKU Ibiza, which is set to open in May 2021, is a Balearic retreat on the south west of the island home to one of the largest pools on the island, and just a moment’s walk from the beautiful Cala Gracio bay and beaches. Inspired by nature and barefoot living, the laid-back hotel is designed with slow living and enriching experiences at its heart. The hotel will offer 189 guest rooms and suites as well as a luxury 4-bedroom private villa, which is perfect for those looking for the utmost privacy.
