Vives was born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands. During her career, she won two WTA singles and 16 doubles titles. She won the silver medal at the 2005 Mediterranean Games, losing the final to compatriot Laura Pous Tió.
She was the doubles champion at the 2009 WTA Tour Championships, playing with María José Martínez Sánchez. They defeated Serena and Venus Williams en route to a 7–6(0), 5–7, [10–7] victory over top seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber.
On 11 November 2013, it was announced that she would be suspended until 7 September 2015 after testing positive for methamphetamine at the 2013 Bank of the West Classic. She subsequently announced her retirement from professional tennis on 20 November, as a result of the ban ending her hopes to play at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
