Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa

About Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa

Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa suits travellers who want apartment space with hotel services at the southern end of Ibiza. The four-star property sits on Carrer de les Begonies in Playa d'en Bossa, with the beach about 0.9 km away in a straight line and Ibiza Town about 3.1 km. Couples who eat out and families who need a kitchen both fit the layout. The property carries a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 156 reviews.

Expect a self-catering base with resort facilities rather than a full-board hotel. Apartments are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a balcony or terrace, air conditioning and, in some layouts, a sofa bed. Outside the apartment, the listed amenities include an outdoor pool with a separate kids pool, a spa with sauna and jacuzzi, massage, a fitness centre, a solarium, a restaurant and a bar.

Location: Playa d'en Bossa

Playa d'en Bossa is the longest beach on Ibiza, a long strip of sand with the island's large clubs standing behind it. Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa sits a block back from that shoreline, with the sand about 0.9 km away on a straight line. The neighbourhood is busiest in July and August, when the beach fills early and traffic along the coast road slows. In May, June, September and October the same streets are calmer and easier to walk.

Walking covers the beach and the immediate streets. Everything else is a short ride: Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila about 3.1 km and 3.2 km, the port about 3.7 km, Talamanca about 4.8 km and the airport about 3.5 km, all straight-line figures. A hire car helps for the south coast and the Salinas; otherwise taxis and the island buses do the work. Check current bus lines with the island bus operator, as summer timetables differ.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to use the apartment as a base and the spa as the treat. The listed facilities include a spa, sauna, jacuzzi and massage, an outdoor pool with a solarium, a fitness centre, a restaurant and a bar or snack service. Kitchens and kitchenettes make breakfast and late lunches simple, and air conditioning, a safe, a TV and wifi are all listed for the apartments. Balconies and terraces are listed too, so a quiet hour outside is part of the plan.

Families get the most from the layout: family rooms, cots, sofa beds, a kids pool and a babysitting service all appear on the list, with a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security for late arrivals. Lifts, a laundry service and wheelchair access are listed as well. Confirm the details that matter to you with Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa before booking: check-in and check-out times, cot provision, kitchen equipment, spa bookings and pool towels.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies about 3.5 km away in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the quickest option for the last leg, and a hire car booked at the airport gives freedom for the rest of the stay; both take longer on the road than the straight-line figure suggests. Local buses run from the airport towards Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. Check current routes with the island bus operator.

From Ibiza Town port, about 3.7 km away, ferries leave for La Savina on Formentera, with fast crossings of about 30 to 35 minutes, and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. A taxi from the port to Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa is straightforward, and buses along the Playa d'en Bossa road run more often in summer. Winter brings fewer flights and fewer sailings, so check times with the operators before travelling.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sand is Playa d'en Bossa itself, about 0.9 km away. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, is about 4.8 km off, and the dunes of Ses Salines about 6.3 km. History sits closer still: the Puig des Molins necropolis is about 2.4 km away and the walls of Dalt Vila about 3.2 km. All figures are straight-line distances.

Eating is part of the reason to stay here. Ibiza's fish stew, bullit de peix, is served in two courses, and arròs a banda, a rice dish cooked in fish stock, appears on many menus in Ibiza Town and along the coast. Fresh fish and rice dishes are the things to order. Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa has kitchens in the apartments, so market lunches and simple dinners are easy to arrange.

A day from Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa

Start with a swim: walk the 0.9 km to Playa d'en Bossa before the sand gets busy, then return for a late breakfast in the apartment. Mid-morning, take a taxi or bus the 2.4 km to the Puig des Molins necropolis, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground that forms part of the island's UNESCO listing. Lunch back near the hotel, then use the pool or book a massage at Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa.

In the afternoon, head 3.2 km to Dalt Vila and walk the Renaissance walls above the port, with the cathedral at the top. Stay for the early evening, then return south for dinner. Keep another morning for the Ses Salines dunes, about 6.3 km away, where the salt pans are still worked. Taxis and buses cover these hops; a hire car makes the Salinas easier. Book the car before the morning you need it.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates of Ebano Hotel Apartments & Spa before booking a winter trip. July and August are the peak, with the beach and the coast road at their busiest. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added by the accommodation for each person per night; the rate depends on the type and category of the property and the season, is lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Ask the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
