Hotel Vibra Marítimo

About Hotel Vibra Marítimo

Hotel Vibra Marítimo suits travellers who want the old town on foot rather than a resort strip. The address is Ramón Muntaner 48, in Ibiza Town itself, with Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 0.6 km away and the port 1.3 km away. Couples on a short break, friends using the town as a base for the island and anyone arriving by ferry find the position practical. The harbour and the streets around it are within a walk.

This is a three-star town hotel rather than a resort. The emphasis is on position, a terrace, a fitness centre and simple comforts, not on extensive grounds. Hotel Vibra Marítimo carries a guest score of 4.2/5 from 3248 reviews. Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, a desk and a TV, and some have a balcony. It works well for a few nights in Eivissa and for anyone who plans to spend the days out.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila is the walled upper town of Eivissa, on the hill above the port, with Renaissance walls built in the 16th century and the cathedral at the top. Below it, Ibiza Town wraps around the harbour where ferries leave for Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Both form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. From Hotel Vibra Marítimo, the old town is 0.6 km away and the port 1.3 km, easy walks in the same neighbourhood.

Most of the immediate day is walkable. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 0.1 km from the door and the walls of Dalt Vila 0.8 km. Talamanca and Playa d'en Bossa are each 2.4 km away, close enough for a walk in mild weather or a short bus or taxi ride. The Ses Salines dunes, 8.3 km off, are easier with a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus. High summer fills the old town from mid-morning, while the shoulder months leave the same streets calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities at Hotel Vibra Marítimo are listed rather than promised, and the useful ones for a town stay are air conditioning, free wifi, a safe and a desk, plus a 24 hour front desk that helps with a late landing or an evening ferry. There is a fitness centre, a terrace, bars and a restaurant. Lifts, luggage storage and a laundry service make longer stays simpler. Families should confirm which room types take an extra bed before booking.

Balconies, baths and sea views appear in the hotel's facilities, so ask which rooms include them when booking Hotel Vibra Marítimo. Smoking preference matters, since non smoking rooms are listed but not every category. Breakfast, check-in and check-out times and any deposit for the safe are worth settling with the property in advance. Anyone arriving by car should ask about parking nearby, as space in the town centre is limited.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits in Sant Josep, about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, and it is 5.9 km from Hotel Vibra Marítimo on a straight line. A taxi from the rank outside arrivals is the simplest way in with luggage. Local buses run from the airport into Ibiza Town and on to Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for the stop nearest the hotel.

From the port the transfer is short: the terminal for Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia is 1.3 km from Hotel Vibra Marítimo, a walk with a light case or a brief taxi ride. Arriving from Talamanca or Playa d'en Bossa, both 2.4 km away, takes minutes by taxi or local bus. Schedules thin outside the season and flights are fewer in winter, so check current timetables with the operators before fixing dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 0.1 km from Hotel Vibra Marítimo, effectively the end of the street, and the circuit around the walls of Dalt Vila is 0.8 km away. For swimming, Playa d'en Bossa is 2.4 km off, the longest beach on Ibiza with the big clubs behind it, and Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina, is the same distance. The dunes of Ses Salines are 8.3 km away.

Eating in Ibiza Town is mostly fish and rice. Bullit de peix is the island fish stew served in two courses, broth with rice first and the fish after, and arròs a banda is rice cooked in fish stock. Both turn up across the town and along the port. Kitchens in the streets below Dalt Vila keep going through the year, while many seasonal places on the island close roughly from November to April.

A day from Hotel Vibra Marítimo

Begin with the Puig des Molins necropolis, 0.1 km from Hotel Vibra Marítimo, then climb to Dalt Vila, 0.8 km away, and walk the Renaissance walls to the cathedral. Check opening times before setting out. The morning continues downhill to the port, 1.3 km from the hotel, where ferries leave for Formentera and the harbourfront makes an easy loop back towards lunch.

In the afternoon, a taxi or a seasonal bus covers the 2.4 km to Playa d'en Bossa for a swim, or the same distance to Talamanca for shallow water. A car opens the Ses Salines dunes, 8.3 km away, for a late walk. Return to Ibiza Town for dinner below the walls, then walk back to Hotel Vibra Marítimo, where the 24 hour front desk covers a late return.

Practical tips

Hotel Vibra Marítimo has the advantage of a town that keeps working all year, but much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's own opening dates for a winter stay. Peak demand falls in July and August, when Dalt Vila and the port fill up. Expect the ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, added per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies with establishment type and season, is lower in low season and on longer stays, and under-16s are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
