CBbC Suites Port Vell

About CBbC Suites Port Vell

CBbC Suites Port Vell suits travellers who want to be inside Ibiza Town rather than in a resort, with the ferry port, the old town and the evening streets within a short walk of the door. The apartments, listed at four stars, come with kitchens, so a stay runs on your own timetable: breakfast at home, lunch out, a late plate after the climb back down from Dalt Vila.

This is an apartment stay rather than a full-service resort. The listed features cover the apartments themselves, with kitchen equipment, air conditioning, wifi, a safe and cleaning among them, plus a terrace or balcony in some units. It works for couples who want space and for families who need a fridge and a sofa bed, and it puts the Formentera boat a short walk from the entrance.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

CBbC Suites Port Vell stands at 2 Carrer Cipriano Garijo, in the flat streets between the harbour and the hill, 0.5 km from Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town centre and 0.2 km from the port. This is a working town address, not a resort strip: ferries leave from the harbour below, and the walled upper town sits above, with its 16th-century Renaissance walls and the cathedral at the top.

Most of the old town is walkable from the door. The walls of Dalt Vila are 0.4 km away, the Puig des Molins necropolis 1.1 km, and the shallow bay at Talamanca 1.3 km across the marina. Playa d'en Bossa, at 3.3 km, and the Ses Salines dunes, at 9.1 km, are easier by bus, taxi or hire car. July and August fill these streets; May, June, September and October leave room to walk.

Rooms and facilities

Every apartment at CBbC Suites Port Vell is listed with air conditioning, a safe, a smoke detector, a hairdryer, an iron and board, toiletries and a television, which covers the basics for a week in town. The kitchen is the useful part: microwave, refrigerator, toaster and coffee kit make self-catering realistic rather than decorative. Couples can take a smaller unit, while families should ask how many the apartment sleeps.

Confirm the practical points when booking CBbC Suites Port Vell: the sleeping layout, whether your apartment has a balcony or terrace, and the outlook, since sea and river both appear among the listed features. Non-smoking rooms and cleaning are listed too. Ask the property directly about arrival arrangements, key collection and anything you need for children, so the first evening in Ibiza Town goes smoothly.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 7 km south-west of the town, in Sant Josep, so the transfer to CBbC Suites Port Vell is short by taxi or hire car. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, with more lines running in summer, and the last stretch to Carrer Cipriano Garijo is on foot through the port area. Check the island bus operator for current times and confirm meeting points with the hotel in advance.

The port is 0.2 km from CBbC Suites Port Vell, which helps if you arrive by sea: ferries from Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia dock there, and the Formentera boats leave from the same harbour. Talamanca is 1.3 km away and Playa d'en Bossa 3.3 km. Flights and sailings are fewer in winter, so check operators before committing to a late-season crossing.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sand is Talamanca, 1.3 km across the marina, a calm bay with shallow water. Playa d'en Bossa, at 3.3 km, is the longest beach on the island, with the big clubs behind it, and the Ses Salines dunes begin 9.1 km to the south. On foot from CBbC Suites Port Vell, the walls of Dalt Vila are 0.4 km away and the Puig des Molins necropolis 1.1 km.

Eating in Ibiza Town is a matter of fish and rice: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, are the dishes to look for, along with fresh fish and rice cooked to order. With a kitchen at CBbC Suites Port Vell you can shop for breakfast and picnic food and eat out at night, which suits a town stay better than a half-board routine.

A day from CBbC Suites Port Vell

Start early from CBbC Suites Port Vell and walk the 0.4 km to Dalt Vila, climbing through the 16th-century walls to the cathedral before the streets warm up. Back at the port for coffee, then take the 1.1 km walk to the Puig des Molins necropolis, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground that forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. Lunch near the harbour, then a slow afternoon.

Later, cross the marina to Talamanca, 1.3 km, for a swim in the shallow bay, or take a bus or taxi the 3.3 km to Playa d'en Bossa for more sand. Evenings belong to the town: the return from Dalt Vila to Carrer Cipriano Garijo takes minutes, and the port side stays busy in summer. In May or October the same route is quiet.

Practical tips

Time the stay with care. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, while July and August are the peak, so check opening dates with CBbC Suites Port Vell before booking a winter break. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the category and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Confirm the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
