Ryans La Marina

About Ryans La Marina

Ryans La Marina suits travellers who want to be inside Ibiza Town rather than in a resort. The address is Carrer Andenes 5, in the lower town, and the port is 0.2 km from the door, so the ferry to Formentera is a short walk away. Couples on a city break, small groups and anyone arriving on a late sailing will find the position practical. Guests who plan to spend their days on foot rather than driving get the most from it.

Ryans La Marina is a three-star hotel with a listed guest score of 4.0/5 from 446 reviews. That points to a straightforward, well-used city property rather than a holiday complex. A bar with snack service, a restaurant, a terrace and a lounge are listed, along with a 24-hour front desk for arrivals at any hour. Treat the facilities as a checklist to confirm with the hotel before booking.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Ryans La Marina sits in Eivissa, the island capital and one of Ibiza's five municipalities, on the flat streets between the harbour and the hill. The port below handles ferries to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, while the Renaissance walls of Dalt Vila rise above it to the cathedral. This is a working town as well as a holiday one, with the marina and the old quarter a short stroll from Carrer Andenes.

Distances from the hotel are short and mostly walkable: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 0.5 km, Talamanca bay 1.3 km, Playa d'en Bossa 3.3 km. The last two are easier by taxi or seasonal bus, and a hire car only earns its keep for the coves and salt flats further south. In July and August the quays stay busy after dark and the streets are loud; in the shoulder months the same walk is calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities listed for Ryans La Marina cover what a city stay needs: air conditioning, a bath, a refrigerator, a safe, a television, toiletries and, in some rooms, a balcony. Wi-Fi is free, and a lounge, a terrace and a bar with snack service fill the hours between outings. Cots are listed, which helps families with a baby, and express check-in, luggage storage and a concierge desk smooth arrivals.

Housekeeping and cleaning, laundry service, an ATM, first aid, a smoking area, parking and a car rental service also appear on the list, the last two useful if you plan to drive south. Ask Ryans La Marina which rooms have a balcony, how parking is allocated, whether breakfast is served on site, and what the check-in and check-out times are before you finalise a booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 7 km south-west of the town in Sant Josep, so the transfer to Ryans La Marina is short. Taxis and the airport buses serve Ibiza Town, with more lines running in summer; the hotel can point you to the current options. Driving yourself is simple, but parking near the port is tight, so ask about the listed parking before you set out.

The port is 0.2 km from Ryans La Marina, with ferries to La Savina on Formentera taking about 30-35 minutes on the fast boats and roughly an hour on the conventional ones, plus longer routes to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Arriving from Talamanca (1.3 km) or Playa d'en Bossa (3.3 km) is a short taxi ride or a seasonal bus. Winter flights and sailings thin out, so confirm your arrival time with the hotel.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sand is Talamanca, 1.3 km away, a shallow bay across the marina, and Playa d'en Bossa, 3.3 km, the long beach with the large clubs behind it. Ses Salines is 9.1 km off, a natural park since 2001 and a Ramsar wetland where salt is still harvested. None of these is on the doorstep of Ryans La Marina; the harbour is what sits immediately outside.

Sights begin closer still. The walls of Dalt Vila are 0.4 km from Ryans La Marina, a climb through the Renaissance gate to the cathedral at the top, and the Puig des Molins necropolis is 1.1 km, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground listed in 1999 with the old town under the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture. For island cooking, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses.

A day from Ryans La Marina

Begin with the climb to Dalt Vila, 0.4 km from Ryans La Marina, walking the walls before the morning heats up and the upper town fills. Come down through the old quarter to the port, 0.2 km away, and decide between the ferry to Formentera and a slow hour around the marina. Lunch is the natural pause, with rice and fish dishes the local order.

In the afternoon, a taxi or seasonal bus covers the 3.3 km to Playa d'en Bossa for a swim, or the 1.3 km to Talamanca for calmer water. The Puig des Molins necropolis, 1.1 km from the hotel, fills an hour on the way back. Evenings belong to the lower town: eat near the port, then climb to the walls again after dark, when Dalt Vila empties and the harbour lights sit below.

Practical tips

Winter changes Ibiza Town's rhythm rather than stopping it. The capital stays open all year, but many coastal hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, so check Ryans La Marina's own opening dates before booking a low-season trip. The busiest weeks fall in July and August; late spring and early autumn bring easier conditions. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the property, with rates that vary by category and season and children under 16 exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for the current rules.
