About MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection

MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection suits travellers who want a town base rather than a resort, with the old town 1.4 km away and the port 2.1 km away. Couples and small groups can walk to dinner in the centre and return without a long transfer. It is listed as a two-star property, so expect a straightforward, well-placed city stay with a pool and spa on site.

This is a town hotel rather than a coastal one. An overall guest score of 4.4/5 from 639 reviews points to steady satisfaction. MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection has an outdoor pool, a spa and a restaurant, which makes it practical for a short break where the focus is Eivissa town, the Puig des Molins necropolis and the Dalt Vila walls. The two sights are 0.8 km and 1.5 km away.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

The hotel stands on Carrer De Carles Roman Ferrer in Ibiza Town, on the south side of the centre. Dalt Vila, the walled upper town with 16th-century Renaissance walls and the cathedral at the top, is 1.4 km away in a straight line and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. The port below it, where ferries leave for Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, is 2.1 km.

Walking works for the centre and the Puig des Molins necropolis, which is 0.8 km away in a straight line, though the uphill climb to Dalt Vila is warmer work in July and August. Playa d'en Bossa is 1.7 km and Talamanca 3.1 km, both easiest by taxi, hire car or the town buses, with more lines running in summer. May, June, September and October are gentler for the same trips.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with a balcony, a bath, a minibar, a safe, a TV and toiletries, which covers the basics for a couple or a small family. A terrace and sea views appear among the listed features, so ask which categories face the water rather than assume. Housekeeping and cleaning are listed, a laundry service helps on longer stays, and first aid is available on site. Confirm the cleaning schedule with MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection if you stay more than a few nights.

The outdoor pool and the spa, which offers massage, give you somewhere to unwind after a morning at the necropolis or on the Dalt Vila walls, and the restaurant and bars mean not every meal needs a walk into town. Confirm with MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection which facilities are open for your dates, whether the pool is heated, and the check-in and check-out times, since these shift with the season.

Getting there

The airport (IBZ) lies 5.1 km from the hotel in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars cover the run, and airport buses link with Ibiza Town, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for current routes. A hire car collected at the airport also makes the south beaches and Ses Salines easier. Tell MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection if you land late, so arrival arrangements are clear.

From Ibiza Town port, 2.1 km away, ferries run to La Savina on Formentera, with fast crossings of about 30 to 35 minutes and conventional crossings of about an hour, plus services to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Playa d'en Bossa is 1.7 km from MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection and Talamanca 3.1 km. Sailings and flights are fewer in winter, so confirm times with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 0.8 km away and the walk around the Dalt Vila walls is 1.5 km; both appear on the UNESCO list from 1999. Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on the island with the large clubs behind it, is 1.7 km from MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection. Talamanca is 3.1 km, and the Ses Salines dunes 7.7 km.

Eating in Ibiza Town means fish and rice: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, turn up on many menus near the port, and fresh fish is common. MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection has a restaurant and bars, useful when you come back late from the old town. For a change of scene, the sand and salt pans at Ses Salines are 7.7 km off.

A day from MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection

Begin at Puig des Molins, 0.8 km from MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection, before the day warms up. Then walk to Dalt Vila, 1.5 km away, and follow the walls to the cathedral at the top. Both morning stops are close enough to reach on foot. Come back for the pool and a late lunch, or take a taxi the 1.7 km to Playa d'en Bossa for the afternoon.

In the evening, return to Ibiza Town for dinner, 1.4 km from the hotel, or eat at the restaurant on site and stay by the terrace. A longer outing takes in the Ses Salines dunes, 7.7 km away, best reached by car or taxi, with salt still harvested and the area a natural park since 2001. Talamanca, 3.1 km off, suits a quiet swim earlier in the day.

Practical tips

Many businesses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, while Ibiza Town stays open all year; check the opening dates of MIM Ibiza Member of Meliá Collection before booking a winter stay. Peak demand falls in July and August. Your booking also carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, or ecotasa, charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on the type and category of accommodation and the season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
