El Divino Apartamentos

About El Divino Apartamentos

El Divino Apartamentos suits travellers who want a simple base beside the water in Talamanca and a short walk into Ibiza Town. The two-star apartments put the marina, the port and the old town within about a kilometre, so you can leave the car parked and cross to Dalt Vila on foot. Couples who prefer cooking a few meals, and small families on a budget, tend to get the most from this kind of stay.

The property is listed as a two-star apartment building, with kitchenettes rather than hotel service, so the rhythm of the stay is your own: shopping, cooking, eating on the balcony. Expect straightforward, functional accommodation in a strong location rather than a resort with staff on hand all day. Reception hours, key collection and arrival arrangements are worth confirming with El Divino Apartamentos before you book, particularly if you land on a late flight.

Location: Talamanca

Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, which makes it quieter than the southern beach strips while keeping the town close. El Divino Apartamentos sits on Avenida Ocho de Agosto in this corner of the bay, with Ibiza Town port about 0.7 km away in a straight line and the shallow water of Talamanca about 1 km off. Boats moor in the marina, the water stays shallow a long way out, and evenings are mostly about the waterfront rather than clubs.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are about 1 km away in a straight line, so the walls, the cathedral and the old-town lanes are a walk rather than a drive. Playa d'en Bossa lies about 4 km south and the Ses Salines dunes about 9.9 km away, both easier by bus, taxi or hire car. Ibiza Airport is 7.5 km off. In high summer the marina road is busy in the evening; in May and October the same walk feels open and unhurried.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities listed for El Divino Apartamentos include air conditioning, a balcony, a kitchenette with fridge and microwave, a safe and a TV, which covers the basics for a self-catering week. Lifts serve the building, there is a launderette, and a terrace and bars are listed on site. Families can plan simple meals, couples can keep costs down, and late arrivals should confirm access arrangements in advance.

Ask El Divino Apartamentos about the layout of the apartment, which floor it is on, and how the kitchenette is equipped beyond the fridge and microwave. Payment is by credit card, currency exchange is listed, and a safe is provided, but it is worth confirming check-in times and what happens out of hours. Guests with young children should ask about lift access and balcony height before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 7.5 km south-west in Sant Josep, so a taxi or a hire car is the quickest way to reach El Divino Apartamentos with bags. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, and the last stretch from the town centre to the apartment is a walk of roughly a kilometre. Check the island bus operator for current lines and summer timetables before you rely on public transport with luggage.

Ibiza Town port is about 0.7 km away in a straight line, which matters if you arrive by ferry from Formentera at La Savina, or from Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia; the walk from the terminal to El Divino Apartamentos is short. Talamanca is about 1 km off and Playa d'en Bossa about 4 km. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so check operators and the property's own opening dates before fixing dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Talamanca bay is 1 km away in a straight line, a shallow curve of water good for slow swimming, and Playa d'en Bossa, the island's longest beach, is about 4 km south. For walking, the walls of Dalt Vila are 1.1 km off, the Puig des Molins necropolis 1.7 km, and the Ses Salines dunes 9.9 km, where the salt pans are still worked inside a natural park declared in 2001.

Eating out around Ibiza Town means fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's two-course fish stew with rice, are the dishes to look for, along with simply grilled fish. Self-caterers at El Divino Apartamentos can shop in town and cook in the kitchenette, which keeps a family's evenings flexible. In the shoulder months the waterfront is calm enough for a long lunch; in August book ahead and eat later.

A day from El Divino Apartamentos

Start early with the walk to Dalt Vila, about 1.1 km away, and go up through the Renaissance walls to the cathedral before the day heats up. Come down through the old town to the port, 0.7 km from El Divino Apartamentos, and cross the marina back to Talamanca for a swim in the shallow bay, roughly 1 km from the door. Lunch at the apartment, then rest through the hottest hours.

In the late afternoon, take a bus, taxi or hire car to the Ses Salines dunes, 9.9 km off, and walk the paths near the salt pans; the Puig des Molins necropolis, 1.7 km away, fills a shorter slot closer to town. Finish with the evening light on the walls of Dalt Vila, then a slow meal back near the marina. Movement between these points is short: most of the day sits inside a few kilometres of the apartment.

Practical tips

Outside high summer, much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates at El Divino Apartamentos before booking a winter stay; the busiest weeks fall in July and August, when the marina fills and the bay is at its liveliest. The accommodation charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night, at a rate set by the type and category of the property and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays and waived for children under 16. Rates change, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
