Sunrise Suites

About Sunrise Suites

Sunrise Suites suits travellers who want a straightforward base on the edge of Ibiza Town rather than a large resort. The address, 22 Carrer De Carles Roman Ferrer, sits between the old town and Playa d'en Bossa, which makes it easy to mix city wandering with beach time. Couples who would rather walk than drive, and small families who make use of a kitchenette, tend to get the most from it.

Sunrise Suites is a three-star hotel, scored 3.9 out of 5 from 57 reviews. Expect a functional, self-catering kind of stay: the listed facilities include a kitchen and kitchenette, a terrace and a restaurant, with a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals. It is a practical choice for a first visit to Eivissa, when the priority is a bed, air conditioning and a short walk or bus ride to the sights.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town lie 1.5 km from Sunrise Suites: the walled upper town on its hill, the cathedral at the top and the port below, where ferries leave for Formentera. The surrounding streets are the working centre of the island, with year-round life rather than a seasonal strip. Playa d'en Bossa, the long beach with the big clubs behind it, is 1.6 km away in the other direction.

The streets around the address are walkable, and both the old town and Playa d'en Bossa are realistic on foot. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina, is 3.2 km off and easier by bus, taxi or car, as are the Ses Salines dunes at 7.6 km. High summer brings heat, traffic and full car parks; spring and early autumn are gentler for the climb to the cathedral.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to a self-catering stay: kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, coffee, plus a sofa bed in some layouts. Couples can treat the kitchenette as a breakfast station and eat out in town; families get flexibility from the sofa bed and the extra space a kitchen brings. Air conditioning, a safe, a hairdryer, toiletries and wifi cover the basics, with a TV, radio and telephone in the room.

Late arrivals can use the 24-hour front desk and the wake-up service, and lifts serve the upper floors. A balcony and a terrace are listed, and a sea view is flagged, so ask which rooms have them before booking. Confirm with Sunrise Suites whether the restaurant and bar are open on your dates, how often housekeeping visits, and what the sofa bed measures for a family of four.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 5 km from Sunrise Suites in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. The quickest transfer is a taxi or a pre-booked car, which suits anyone arriving with luggage or after dark. Local buses link the airport with Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; ask the hotel which stop is closest, since the walk from the town terminus is short but not level.

From Ibiza Town port, 2.1 km away, ferries run to La Savina on Formentera, and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for current timetables. Anyone arriving from Formentera lands at the port and can reach the hotel in a few minutes by taxi. Flights and sailings thin out between November and April, so a winter visit needs more planning around fixed schedules.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 0.8 km from Sunrise Suites, an easy walk and one of the four parts of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999, alongside the posidonia meadows, Sa Caleta and Dalt Vila. The walls of Dalt Vila are 1.6 km away, with the cathedral at the top of the climb. For sand, Playa d'en Bossa is 1.6 km and Talamanca, calmer and shallower, is 3.2 km.

The Ses Salines dunes are 7.6 km from Sunrise Suites, inside a natural park where salt is still harvested and the posidonia meadows keep the water clear. Eating out in Ibiza Town means fish and rice: bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the island's two-course fish stew, served in sequence, with fresh fish and rice dishes on most menus. The front desk can say what is open out of season.

A day from Sunrise Suites

Start early with the 0.8 km walk to Puig des Molins, before the day heats up, then continue to the walls of Dalt Vila, 1.6 km from Sunrise Suites, and climb through the Renaissance gateways to the cathedral. Coffee and a late breakfast fit naturally around the port, 2.1 km from the hotel, where you can also check the Formentera sailings for another day.

Afternoon is beach time: Playa d'en Bossa at 1.6 km is the closest sand, while Talamanca at 3.2 km is quieter and shallower for children. A car or a seasonal bus opens up the Ses Salines dunes at 7.6 km. Return for a shower, then eat fish and rice in town and walk back along the lit streets; taxis are easy to find around the port.

Practical tips

Sunrise Suites sits in an area that stays open year-round, but much of the island's tourism business shuts roughly from November to April, so confirm the hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter trip. July and August bring the highest demand and the busiest roads. Accommodation in Ibiza adds the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) per person per night; the rate varies with the type of accommodation and the season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
