Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza

About Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza

Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza suits travellers who want a town base rather than a beach resort. The four-star hotel stands on Carrer de Carlos III, 0.3 km from the edge of Dalt Vila and 0.6 km from the ferries at Ibiza Town port. Couples can walk up to the old town for the evening, families have a pool and cots to ask about, and anyone heading to Formentera has the harbour 0.6 km away on foot.

This is a working four-star hotel, not a converted townhouse or a country finca. Guests have scored it 4.1 out of 5 across 1409 reviews. Expect a staffed desk at all hours, express check in and lifts, with a pool and spa downstairs. It works well for a first visit to Eivissa, when the walled town, the harbour and the airport road all need to be close and simple.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

The address sits on the flat street grid between the harbour and the hill, in the municipality of Eivissa, with Dalt Vila rising directly above. Carrer de Carlos III is an ordinary town street of shops and apartment blocks, not a seafront promenade, and the port, the Formentera ferries and the centre are all within 0.6 km. The neighbourhood stays lived-in through winter, with the town's services running all year rather than closing in November.

Almost everything central is on foot: the walls of Dalt Vila at 0.6 km, the Puig des Molins necropolis at 1 km, and the port at 0.6 km. Talamanca bay, 1.6 km away, is a short walk or taxi ride. Playa d'en Bossa at 3.3 km and the Ses Salines dunes at 9.1 km are easier by bus, taxi or a car from the hotel's listed rental service. July and August bring heat and heavy traffic; May, June, September and October are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, minibar, coffee, TV and telephone, and bathrooms with a bath, bidet, bathrobe, slippers and toiletries; some categories add a balcony or a terrace. Families can ask about cots and sofa beds, couples may want a balcony for the evening, and late arrivals can rely on the 24 hour front desk and express check in. Free wifi runs through the building.

Beyond the rooms, the listed facilities include an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a solarium, a fitness centre, and a spa with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and massage. There is a bar and snack service, laundry, luggage storage, a banquet room and wheelchair accessible rooms. Confirm with Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza which pool and spa hours apply on your dates, whether the listed shuttle service runs in your season, and the arrival time to give the desk.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 6.7 km south-west of the hotel, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and the island bus network cover the run into Ibiza Town, with more bus lines in summer than in winter; ask Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza about its listed shuttle service when you book. A hire car makes sense for touring the island, not for the centre, where the streets below Dalt Vila are narrow.

From Ibiza Town port, 0.6 km away, ferries cross to La Savina on Formentera in about 30-35 minutes on fast sailings and about an hour on conventional ones, and there are routes to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Talamanca is 1.6 km from the door and Playa d'en Bossa 3.3 km, both reachable by bus, taxi or the listed car rental service. Flights and ferries are fewer between November and April, so check operators before fixing dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza is not on the sand. The nearest swimming is Talamanca, 1.6 km across the marina, a calm shallow bay, and Playa d'en Bossa, 3.3 km, is the longest beach on the island. Sand dunes and working salt pans fill the Ses Salines Natural Park, 9.1 km south. Closer in, the walk along the walls of Dalt Vila begins 0.6 km away and the Puig des Molins necropolis is 1 km off.

Eating in the centre follows the sea. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, turn up on menus around the port and in the old town, with grilled fish and rice dishes beside them. Dalt Vila is busiest after dark. Eivissa keeps its restaurants and shops going through the year, while many seasonal places elsewhere on Ibiza close roughly from November to April.

A day from Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza

Begin with the climb to Dalt Vila, 0.6 km from Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza. The 16th-century Renaissance walls, the cathedral at the top and the harbour below fill a morning at an easy pace. Come down into the centre for lunch, then walk 1 km to Puig des Molins, where the Phoenician-Punic necropolis forms part of the same UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. Both sit close enough to cover on foot between meals.

Spend the afternoon at the pool and solarium, or take a bus or taxi 1.6 km to Talamanca for shallow water. A longer half-day goes south to the Ses Salines dunes, 9.1 km away, best reached by car or taxi. Finish with dinner in the old town, then walk down to the port 0.6 km away, where the Formentera ferries load and the harbour lights come on.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, including beach bars, boat trips, seasonal buses and many restaurants, though Eivissa itself stays open. Ask Eurostars Puerto de Ibiza about its own dates and any reduced winter service. July and August are the peak; May, June, September and October are gentler. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is collected by the accommodation for each person and night; rates vary with the hotel category and season, are lower in low season and on longer stays, and under-16s are exempt. Check with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
