About Hotel Aire de Bardenas
- The cubes borrow from local agricultural sheds. Stargazing is the desert's after-dark card.
History
Designed by architects Emiliano López and Mónica Rivera, the hotel opened in 2007 as a series of modular aluminum-and-plastic cubes designed to sit lightly on a wheat field without permanent foundations. The structure acts as a wind shelter at the edge of the Bardenas Reales desert, incorporating a minimalist aesthetic that draws inspiration from local agricultural sheds. The property later expanded to include spherical "bubble" rooms that allow for immersive stargazing in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The setting
On a wheat field at the edge of the Bardenas Reales, outside Tudela, Navarra.
