Ibiza White Aparts

About Ibiza White Aparts

Ibiza White Aparts suits travellers who want the old town on the doorstep rather than a resort strip. The address is on Plaza Dalt Vila, with the walls a minute uphill and the port below. Couples who like walking, friends sharing a base and anyone arriving by ferry fit the place well, and the walled town is the whole point of staying here. A car is optional, which is not always true on Ibiza.

These are three-star apartments rather than a full-service hotel, so the appeal is independence. Among the listed facilities are a garden, an outdoor pool, parking and wheelchair access, with multilingual staff on hand for questions about the town. Couples, families and small groups each get room to spread out, and late arrivals can settle in without a restaurant timetable to meet. Three stars sets expectations at practical rather than plush.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town is 0.3 km away on the straight line, and in practice the climb starts from the door. The walled upper town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed in 1999 with the posidonia meadows, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and the Puig des Molins necropolis. Streets inside the walls are narrow and stepped, with the 16th-century Renaissance walls and the cathedral above the harbour.

Nearly everything here is on foot: the Dalt Vila walls are 0.1 km away, Puig des Molins 0.8 km, the port 0.5 km and Talamanca bay 1.6 km across the marina. Playa d'en Bossa is 3.1 km and the Ses Salines dunes 8.9 km, both easier by bus, taxi or hire car. In July and August the old town fills after sunset, while May and October leave the same lanes quiet enough to walk slowly.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities are listed rather than promised: a garden, an outdoor pool, parking and wheelchair access, plus multilingual staff. For couples the pool and garden give a base between town walks; for families the apartment format means earlier dinners and flexible bedtimes; for late arrivals the parking matters more than the water. Confirm what each apartment contains, from kitchen equipment to bed configuration, when you book.

Ask the property directly for check-in and check-out times, and for how the wheelchair access applies around the apartments, the pool and the entrance. It is also worth confirming where cars are left and whether the pool operates for the whole of your dates. A short exchange before you travel answers most of it, and the multilingual staff can reply in more than one language.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 6.7 km away on the straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars cover the last stretch to Plaza Dalt Vila, while the airport bus reaches the town centre and leaves a short walk up. The final lanes inside the walls are narrow, so luggage is easier wheeled from the port side. Winter flights are thinner, so check schedules before fixing arrival times.

From Ibiza Town port, 0.5 km away, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and the Formentera crossing takes about 30-35 minutes on the fast boats or about an hour on the conventional ones. Coming off a ferry, Ibiza White Aparts is a short uphill walk. Bus lines around Ibiza are more frequent in summer; the island operator publishes the current network.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swimming is Talamanca, 1.6 km across the water, a shallow bay that suits families, and Playa d'en Bossa, 3.1 km, the longest beach on the island with the big clubs behind it. The Ses Salines dunes and salt pans are 8.9 km south, part of a natural park since 2001 and a Ramsar wetland. Buses run that way in summer; outside the season check times before setting out.

Two sights are within a walk: the Dalt Vila walls at 0.1 km and the Puig des Molins necropolis at 0.8 km, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground that shares the UNESCO listing. Island food is built on fish and rice, with bullit de peix and arròs a banda served in two courses, the broth first and then the rice. Most eating places in the old town and around the port stay open through the year.

A day from Ibiza White Aparts

Start early with the walls, 0.1 km from Ibiza White Aparts, walking the ramparts before the heat builds and the lanes fill. Climb to the cathedral at the top of Dalt Vila, then follow the street down to Puig des Molins, 0.8 km, for the necropolis. Lunch fits between the two, in the streets below the walls or near the port, 0.5 km from the door.

Afternoon is for water: Talamanca at 1.6 km is the closest swim, with Playa d'en Bossa at 3.1 km if you want more sand, reached by bus, taxi or car. A longer run south to the Ses Salines dunes, 8.9 km, fills the late afternoon. Back at the apartments, the pool and garden take the last hour before an evening in the old town, where the lanes stay warm well after dark.

Practical tips

Ibiza White Aparts sits in a town that keeps working through the year, though much of the seasonal trade, from beach bars to boat trips, closes roughly from November to April, so check opening dates with the hotel before booking a winter break. Peak pressure comes in July and August. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the property; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, drops in low season and for longer stays, and exempts children under 16. Rates change, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
