Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza

About Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza

Apartment stays suit travellers who want a base rather than a full-service hotel, and Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza fits that brief in Playa d'en Bossa. The building has an address on Avenida Pere Matutes Noguera, a short straight-line hop from both Ibiza Town and the island's longest beach. Couples who like to cook, small families needing a washing machine, and anyone who prefers coming and going without a lobby will find the format practical.

Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza is a three-star apartment property, so the offer is space and independence rather than hotel services. Kitchens, laundry and a terrace or balcony carry more weight than a reception desk, and the address puts the south of the island within a short drive. It is a useful choice for a first visit to Ibiza as well as for a repeat stay built around the beach at Playa d'en Bossa and evenings in Eivissa.

Location: Eivissa (Ibiza Town)

Playa d'en Bossa is the longest beach on Ibiza, with the island's large clubs lined up behind the sand. Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza has an address on Avenida Pere Matutes Noguera in the resort, and the sand lies 1.4 km away as the crow flies. Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Eivissa, is 1.7 km off, and the port 2.4 km, so the historic centre and the ferry quay are close enough to reach without a car.

Walking covers the beach and the edge of Ibiza Town, though the midday return is better avoided in high summer. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina, is 3.5 km from Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza and easier by bus, taxi or car; the airport is 4.8 km to the south-west. In July and August the resort runs at full volume and the approach roads are slow. In May, June, September and October the beach and pavements are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Inside, the apartments are set up for self-catering: a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and toaster, plus coffee-making kit, and a washing machine and iron and board for longer stays. Air conditioning, wifi and a TV cover the practical side, and a balcony or terrace is listed, which extends the living space in warm weather. Cleaning and a laundry service are listed too, along with a safe, hairdryer and desk.

For couples the apartment works as a counterpoint to the clubs behind the beach, with a kitchen for breakfast and a safe for passports. Families gain space, a cot and a washing machine that lightens the packing. Anyone arriving late should confirm reception hours and key collection with Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza in advance, and it is worth asking about cleaning days, cot availability and whether the balcony or terrace is private.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 4.8 km south-west of Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza on a straight line, a short transfer by taxi or hire car. Buses run from the airport into Ibiza Town and towards the south beaches, with more lines in summer and fewer in winter; the nearest stop and the current timetable are worth checking with the hotel or the island bus operator.

Travellers arriving by sea reach Ibiza Town port 2.4 km from the door, which makes the apartments workable for a night before or after a ferry to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia. Dalt Vila is 1.7 km away and Talamanca 3.5 km, both on the town side. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm times with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The closest sight is the Puig des Molins necropolis, 1.1 km away, part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing that Ibiza shares with its posidonia meadows, the Phoenician site of Sa Caleta and Dalt Vila. The walk around the walls of Dalt Vila begins 1.8 km from Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza, and the dunes of Ses Salines Natural Park are 7.4 km south. For swimming, Playa d'en Bossa is 1.4 km and Talamanca 3.5 km.

Eating on Ibiza leans on fish and rice. The island dishes to look for are bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses: first the fish with potatoes, then the rice cooked in the broth. Guests at Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza can cook the same ingredients at home, and shopping in Eivissa covers fish, vegetables and cheese. A kitchen makes a late lunch simple after a morning at the beach.

A day from Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza

Start with a swim at Playa d'en Bossa, 1.4 km from Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza, before the sun gets high. Walk or take a short ride into Eivissa and spend the late morning at the Puig des Molins necropolis, 1.1 km away, then climb to Dalt Vila, 1.7 km from the apartments, for the circuit of the walls and the cathedral at the top. Lunch back at the apartment breaks the day.

In the afternoon, drive or take a bus 7.4 km south to the dunes and salt pans of Ses Salines Natural Park, where the posidonia meadows keep the water clear. Return through Talamanca, 3.5 km from the apartments, for a calm swim in shallow water, then eat in Eivissa before the short trip back. In high summer the clubs behind Playa d'en Bossa run late, and the apartment's air conditioning and kitchen suit a slow start.

Practical tips

Playa d'en Bossa empties out roughly from November to April, when many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses stop, while Eivissa stays open all year; check opening dates and reception hours with Apartamentos Esmeralda Ibiza before booking. July and August bring the biggest crowds, while May, June, September and October offer warm sea temperatures with quieter roads. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night at rates the Govern de les Illes Balears sets by property type and season, lower in low season and for longer stays, with children under 16 exempt.
