About Apartamentos Playa Grande

Apartamentos Playa Grande suits travellers who want a self-catering base close to Ibiza's longest beach and within easy reach of the airport. The three-star apartment building in Playa d'en Bossa keeps a garden, pool and tennis court, so days can pass without a car. Couples who eat out in the evening and families who need a kitchenette both fit here. The sand at Playa d'en Bossa is 0.8 km away, and Ibiza Airport is 3.6 km from the door.

The stay is an apartment rather than a hotel, listed with a kitchenette, air conditioning and a terrace, plus a restaurant and buffet for evenings when cooking does not appeal. A 24-hour reception helps late arrivals from the airport, and parking is listed for anyone exploring by car. Guests looking for a simple, independent base near the beach, rather than full hotel service, tend to settle in well here.

Location: Playa d'en Bossa

Playa d'en Bossa runs along the south coast of Ibiza as the island's longest beach, with the big clubs set behind the sand. Apartamentos Playa Grande sits back from the water in this part of the coast, 0.8 km from the beach itself. The strip is busy and late-night in summer, and quieter in the shoulder months when some venues close. Shops, meals and the sand are all close at hand.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are 3 km from Apartamentos Playa Grande, and the port is 3.6 km, both short by taxi or bus and walkable for a steady walker. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 2.3 km away. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, lies 4.7 km from Apartamentos Playa Grande. A car helps for the salt pans and the west coast.

Rooms and facilities

Apartamentos Playa Grande is listed with air conditioning, a kitchenette, a minibar, a safe and a television in the apartments, plus a terrace. Couples can use the kitchenette for breakfast and eat out later; families get space to prepare simple meals and keep drinks cold. The 24-hour reception helps with flights that land late, and the garden, outdoor pool and tennis court give children room to run after a beach day.

Facilities at Apartamentos Playa Grande are listed rather than guaranteed in every apartment, so ask the property which come as standard: kitchenette equipment, terrace size, minibar and safe. Confirm the layout for the number of people in your party, whether the pool and tennis court are open for your dates, and how parking works. Reception can answer these questions before you book, and a short email settles most of them.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits 3.6 km from Apartamentos Playa Grande, a short run that makes a taxi the simplest option with luggage. There are bus connections between the airport, Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for the route and stop nearest the apartments. A hire car collected at the airport suits days out beyond Playa d'en Bossa.

From Ibiza Town port, 3.6 km away, ferries leave for Formentera's La Savina, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so Apartamentos Playa Grande works as a base before or after a crossing. Playa d'en Bossa's beach is 0.8 km from the apartments and Dalt Vila is 3 km off. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings; check operators and the hotel's own opening dates before booking a low-season stay.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Beaches are the main draw here. Playa d'en Bossa's long sand is 0.8 km from Apartamentos Playa Grande, and the calm shallow water of Talamanca lies 4.7 km from the apartments. The dunes of Ses Salines are 6.3 km away, inside a natural park where salt is still harvested. Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila, with the cathedral at the top, are 3 km off, and the Puig des Molins necropolis is 2.3 km.

Fish and rice shape the menu on Ibiza: bullit de peix, the island's fish stew served in two courses with arròs a banda to follow, appears around Playa d'en Bossa and in Ibiza Town, a short ride from Apartamentos Playa Grande. The kitchenette in the apartments and the listed buffet and restaurant cover evenings when a late night or an early start gets in the way.

A day from Apartamentos Playa Grande

Start early with the 0.8 km walk from Apartamentos Playa Grande to Playa d'en Bossa for a swim before the sand fills up. Later, head 2.3 km to the Puig des Molins necropolis, then 3 km into Ibiza Town to walk the Renaissance walls of Dalt Vila and see the cathedral at the top. Return to the apartments for a rest by the pool before dinner.

On a second day, take a car or taxi the 6.3 km to Ses Salines to walk the dunes and see the working salt pans, then continue to the calm shallow bay of Talamanca, 4.7 km from Apartamentos Playa Grande, for a quieter swim. Evenings can stay local in Playa d'en Bossa, with the beach 0.8 km away, or move into Ibiza Town, 3 km off, for a later dinner.

Practical tips

Apartamentos Playa Grande works best in the warmer months, when the beach and seasonal buses are running. Outside that window, many hotels, beach bars and boat trips on Ibiza close, roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's own opening dates before a winter stay. Crowds peak in July and August. On top of the room rate, a sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night; rates vary with accommodation type and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears sets the rules.
