Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

The Standard Ibiza is on Carrer De Bartomeu Vicent Ramon 9, in the area of Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town. Dalt Vila is the walled old town on the hill above the port, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Renaissance walls and the cathedral at the top are about 0.4 km away. The port is 0.5 km from the hotel, with ferries to Formentera, Palma and the mainland. Talamanca beach is 1.6 km away, and Playa d'en Bossa is 3.1 km away.

In high summer, the streets around the hotel are busy with visitors and traffic. The area stays lively late into the night. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the pace is calmer, and the old town is more relaxed. Many restaurants and bars in the town centre remain open year-round, though some seasonal places close from November to April. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the port, the marina and the shops of the modern town below the walls.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check The Standard Ibiza's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the highest demand and the busiest streets. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of hotel, and it is reduced in low season and for longer stays. Children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
