Bon Sol Apartments

About Bon Sol Apartments

Bon Sol Apartments suits travellers who want a simple, self-catering base within reach of both the beach and Ibiza Town. The building is listed with two stars and a long set of practical facilities, from a pool and a sauna to parking and a garden. Couples planning long beach days, families who need a kids pool, and groups drawn by the clubs behind Playa d'en Bossa all fit the same brief here.

This is an apartment-style stay rather than a full-service hotel: two stars, apartments with balconies, and a list that takes in air conditioning, wifi, a safe, iron and board, and a reception area. Shops, bars and restaurant facilities are listed on site, so a day can pass without leaving the address. Confirm apartment layout, kitchen equipment and pool hours with the property before booking.

Location: Eivissa (Ibiza Town)

Playa d'en Bossa is the longest beach on Ibiza, a long sweep of sand with the island's big clubs directly behind it. Bon Sol Apartments sits in the streets just inland at C/Manuel De Falla 4, 0.9 km in a straight line from that beach and its summer crowds. Expect a resort that runs at full volume from June, with bars and shops busy into the early hours and the sand filling by mid-morning.

The beach is the nearest thing to the door; Ibiza Town port is 3.3 km away and Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 2.7 km, both usually covered by bus, taxi or hire car. Talamanca is 4.4 km and Ibiza Airport 3.9 km. In July and August the resort is loud and crowded, while in May, June, September and October the same streets are calmer and the beach has room.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a TV, a telephone, a safe and iron and board, the basics that make a week in the heat manageable. Couples get space to spread out; families have a kids pool and a garden. Late arrivals should note the reception area and the listed concierge, and ask the property about out-of-hours arrival before travelling.

Other listed facilities take in a swimming pool, a sauna, a spa, a restaurant, bars, shops, currency exchange, car parking, lifts, wifi, facilities for disabled guests and pets allowed. Treat this as the property's own list rather than a promise that every service runs all season. Confirm what is open during your dates, whether parking needs reserving, and what the pet policy covers.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 3.9 km from Bon Sol Apartments in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars cover the run at most hours; airport buses link with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check current times with the island bus operator. Winter flights are fewer.

Ibiza Town port is 3.3 km from Bon Sol Apartments, the arrival point for ferries from Formentera's La Savina and the mainland, and Dalt Vila is 2.7 km while Talamanca is 4.4 km. Buses are more frequent in summer and thinner in winter, so check timetables with the island bus operator and time a late arrival with the property in advance.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Playa d'en Bossa, 0.9 km away in a straight line, is the beach most guests use, backed by the clubs. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the water from Ibiza Town, is 4.4 km off. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 2 km from the door and the walls of Dalt Vila 2.8 km, while the dunes of Ses Salines lie 6.7 km south.

Eating out is part of the point: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, are the dishes to order, along with fresh fish and rice. Bon Sol Apartments lists restaurant facilities and shops on site, so a first-night meal needs no planning, and grilled fish is easy to find along the coast.

A day from Bon Sol Apartments

Start early at Playa d'en Bossa, 0.9 km away, before the sun gets serious and the sand fills. Take a short ride to Puig des Molins, 2 km off, to see the Phoenician-Punic necropolis while it is cool, then go on to the walls of Dalt Vila, 2.8 km from Bon Sol Apartments, climbing the 16th-century ramparts to the cathedral at the top.

Return for the pool and the sauna, then take the 3.3 km run to Ibiza Town port to watch the boats, or stay local in Playa d'en Bossa for the clubs behind the beach. A hire car or taxi opens up the dunes of Ses Salines, 6.7 km away, in late afternoon light. Keep the last evening loose: Ibiza Airport is 3.9 km from the door.

Practical tips

Bon Sol Apartments and much of the resort around it trade mainly from spring to autumn, with many businesses closing roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter stay. The peak months of July and August bring the loudest nights and the fullest sand. Expect the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) on your bill, charged per person per night; rates depend on accommodation type and season, drop in low season and for longer stays, and under-16s are exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
