Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza

About Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza

Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza suits travellers who want a base in the centre of Ibiza Town rather than a resort out of town. The address on Via Punica puts the port, the old town and the bus network within a short walk, which helps anyone travelling without a car. Couples who like to eat out late and families who need an apartment with a fridge and a sink both fit the same layout here.

The property is a three-star aparthotel with a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 229 reviews. Apartments rather than single hotel rooms are the point of the stay, which means more space and a sofa bed for a third or fourth person. Expect a working town building with a garden, a terrace and a lift, not a holiday village with entertainment laid on. Breakfast can be taken in the room.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town sits 0.3 km from Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza, so the walled upper town and the streets around the port are the immediate neighbourhood. Dalt Vila's Renaissance walls, built in the 16th century with the cathedral at the top, form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. The harbour below runs ferries to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and the port is 1 km from the door.

Two sights are close enough to reach on foot: the Puig des Molins necropolis at 0.4 km and the walk along the walls of Dalt Vila at 0.6 km. Talamanca Bay is 2 km away and Playa d'en Bossa 2.7 km, both easier by taxi, hire car or a seasonal bus than on foot in the heat. The Ses Salines dunes, 8.6 km off, need wheels. High summer fills the old town lanes from mid-morning; in May or October the same walk is quiet.

Rooms and facilities

Apartments here are listed with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a sink and coffee making, which covers simple breakfasts and late snacks. Also listed are a safe, a minibar, a hairdryer, bathrobes, toiletries, a desk, a TV and an iron and board, plus a balcony or terrace in some units. Couples can take a smaller unit; families do better with a sofa bed and a cot. Wifi is free throughout and non-smoking rooms are standard.

Useful extras to confirm with Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza when booking: whether the apartment you choose has a balcony, whether a cot and high chair can be reserved, and whether breakfast in the room needs ordering the night before. Parking, room service, housekeeping, massage, special diets and the car rental service are all listed facilities, so ask how each is arranged. Lifts serve the floors, there are smoke detectors, and the building is non-smoking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 6.2 km south-west in the municipality of Sant Josep, a short transfer. Taxis wait outside arrivals and the drive into town is straightforward; the island bus operator runs services from the airport to Ibiza Town and other resorts, with more lines in summer. A hire car booked through the aparthotel's car rental service is another option if the plan includes coves on other parts of the island.

From Ibiza Town port, 1 km from Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina) and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for current timetables. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes to Formentera. Arriving by sea from the mainland, a short taxi ride or a walk covers the last kilometre. Flights and sailings thin out in winter, so check dates before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Talamanca, 2 km across the marina, is the nearest calm swim, a shallow bay with a long curve of sand. Playa d'en Bossa, 2.7 km away, is the longest beach on Ibiza, with the big clubs behind it and many more people in August. The Ses Salines dunes and salt pans lie 8.6 km south, inside the natural park declared in 2001. None of these is a walk in the midday heat; use a taxi, the bus or a car.

On foot from Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza, the Puig des Molins necropolis is 0.4 km and the Dalt Vila walls 0.6 km, both part of the UNESCO listing. Eating in Ibiza Town means fish and rice: bullit de peix, served in two courses with rice afterwards, and arròs a banda, cooked down in stock. The old town and the port area keep places open through the year, unlike the seasonal beach bars.

A day from Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza

Start early with the Phoenician-Punic necropolis at Puig des Molins, 0.4 km from Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza, before the day heats up. Then climb to Dalt Vila, 0.6 km on foot, and walk the Renaissance walls and the lanes up to the cathedral, with the port laid out below. Both stops are close together, so the morning needs no transport at all, only water and a hat. Coffee and a late breakfast wait back at the apartment, a few minutes away.

After lunch, take a taxi or the bus the 2 km to Talamanca for shallow water, or 2.7 km to Playa d'en Bossa if you want more space and a longer swim. Return to the apartment to change, then spend the evening in Ibiza Town, where the port is 1 km from the door and the old town 0.3 km. A car opens up the Ses Salines dunes, 8.6 km away, for the end of the day.

Practical tips

July and August are the peak months, when Ibiza Town is at its fullest and booking ahead matters for Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza. Seasonal closures hit the island hard: from roughly November to April many hotels, beach bars and boat trips shut, while Ibiza Town keeps going. Ask Aparthotel Urban Spaces Ibiza for its own opening dates before booking a winter trip. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies with category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the details.
