THB Los Molinos Adults Only

About THB Los Molinos Adults Only

THB Los Molinos Adults Only suits couples and friends who want a town base in Ibiza rather than a resort strip, and who like the idea of a grown-up house with no children around. Ramon Muntaner 60 sits between the harbour and the old town, so the evening starts with a short walk. The listed guest score is 4.4 out of 5 from 1,826 reviews. A pool and a garden help on slow afternoons.

This is a four-star hotel in the Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town area, run as an adults only house rather than a beach club. The listed facilities point to a city hotel with holiday space: indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a fitness centre, a garden and a terrace. A 24 hour front desk covers late arrivals, and the address keeps the ferry pier and the walls within walking reach.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Eivissa is the island's capital, and the hotel sits in the Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town area, 0.6 km in a straight line from the walled upper town. Dalt Vila climbs the hill above the port, with Renaissance walls, a cathedral at the top and stepped lanes between white houses. Below it the harbour handles ferries to Formentera and to the mainland, and the marina at Talamanca lies across the water.

Walking covers most of the stay. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 0.1 km away in a straight line and the walls of Dalt Vila 0.7 km, while the port is 1.2 km and Talamanca 2.3 km. Playa d'en Bossa is 2.4 km and the Ses Salines dunes 8.2 km, so those two are a bus, taxi or car trip. High summer brings traffic and heat by midday; May, June and late September are milder for walking.

Rooms and facilities

Couples usually want a balcony or a terrace, and both appear on the list of facilities, along with air conditioning, a safe, a hairdryer, toiletries and a television. Some units are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a toaster and coffee making kit, which suits longer stays and self-catering breakfasts. Wi-Fi is listed as free throughout. Ask the hotel which room types include the kitchenette before booking.

Late arrivals are covered by the 24 hour front desk, and the listed services include room service, luggage storage, laundry, a concierge, car rental and a shuttle service. There is a business centre and a banquet room, and special diets can be discussed with the property. The hotel is adults only, so families with children need a different address; couples and groups of friends are the natural fit. Confirm parking and garage terms with the hotel.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies in Sant Josep, 5.9 km south-west of the hotel in a straight line, and the drive into town is short outside peak hours. Taxis wait at the terminal, buses link the airport with Ibiza Town and other island towns, and a hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the rest of the stay. In winter there are fewer flights, so check schedules before fixing dates.

The port is 1.2 km away in a straight line, and from there ferries run to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; fast ferries to La Savina take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour. Coming from Menorca usually means a flight or a connection through Mallorca, since there is rarely a direct ferry. Talamanca is 2.3 km and Playa d'en Bossa 2.4 km. Check seasonal bus lines with the island bus operator.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 0.1 km away in a straight line, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999, and the walls of Dalt Vila are 0.7 km. The hotel is not on the beach, so for sand the nearest choices are Talamanca at 2.3 km and Playa d'en Bossa at 2.4 km, both a short bus, taxi or car ride. The Ses Salines dunes are 8.2 km away.

Island cooking is built around fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the dishes to look for: a fish stew served in two courses, first the fish, then the rice cooked in the broth. It is a shared meal rather than a single plate. In Ibiza Town the old lanes above the port fill at lunch in summer, and tables are easier in the shoulder months. The hotel is 0.6 km from that area.

A day from THB Los Molinos Adults Only

Start early, before the heat, and walk 0.7 km to the walls of Dalt Vila for the climb to the cathedral and the views over the harbour. Come down through the lanes for coffee, then cross to the Puig des Molins necropolis 0.1 km from the hotel to see the UNESCO-listed tombs. Lunch in town, then a swim: Talamanca is 2.3 km away and shallow, Playa d'en Bossa 2.4 km.

Return for the indoor or outdoor pool and the sauna before the evening, then walk 1.2 km to the port to watch the ferries leave for Formentera and the mainland. Sunset from the walls is a short walk from there. Dine in the old town. A car or taxi opens up the Ses Salines dunes at 8.2 km for a longer day, and the salt pans beyond them.

Practical tips

Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking a winter stay; the main towns stay open, but flights and ferries are fewer. July and August are the peak, with the highest prices and the busiest roads; May, June, late September and October are quieter and better for walking. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
