Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza

About Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza

Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza is a five-star hotel on the south coast of Ibiza, about 1.5 km from Playa d'en Bossa. The hotel suits travellers who want a large, full-service base with plenty of facilities on site, close to the island's longest beach and the main nightlife strip. Guest score is 4.6 out of 5 from 4,660 reviews, which points to consistent service and comfort.

The hotel is set back from the beach, so it offers a quieter stay than the seafront clubs, yet the action is a short ride away. With several pools, a spa, a fitness centre, a games room and entertainment activities, it works for couples and families alike. The large grounds and gardens give space to relax, while the bars and restaurants mean you do not need to leave the property for an evening meal.

Location: Playa d'en Bossa

The hotel lies in Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on Ibiza, with the big clubs behind it. The beach itself is 1.5 km in a straight line from the hotel, so you will need a short taxi ride or a walk of about 20 minutes. The area is lively in summer, with beach bars and music venues, but the hotel's position away from the sand keeps some distance from the noise.

Ibiza Airport is 2.4 km away, and Ibiza Town port is 5.1 km away. Dalt Vila and the centre of Eivissa are 4.5 km off, and the Ses Salines natural park is 4.7 km away. In high summer the south coast is busy, and traffic on the main road can be heavy. From November to April many beach bars and seasonal buses close, but the hotel stays open and the town remains accessible.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a minibar, a safe, a bathrobe and slippers. There are family rooms, and cots are available. The hotel also lists a sofa bed in some rooms, which is useful for families. A desk and free wifi cover those who need to work, and the 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals.

For a quieter stay, ask for a room away from the pools and entertainment areas. The hotel lists non-smoking rooms and a smoking area, so confirm your preference when booking. Room service is available, and special diets are mentioned, so the kitchen can likely accommodate requests. Check with the property directly about the exact room layout and any extra charges for the minibar or safe.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport is only 2.4 km from the hotel in a straight line, so a taxi takes about 10 minutes in light traffic. Buses run from the airport to Playa d'en Bossa and Ibiza Town in summer, but the hotel is not at the beach, so you may need a short taxi from the bus stop. A hire car gives flexibility, and the hotel lists a car rental service on site.

If you arrive by ferry, Ibiza Town port is 5.1 km away, about 15 minutes by taxi. Ferries from the mainland and from Formentera dock there. Seasonal buses connect the port with the south beaches, but in winter services are fewer. Check the island bus operator for current timetables. Flights are also fewer from November to April, so plan connections carefully.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Playa d'en Bossa, 1.5 km away, is the longest beach on the island, with shallow water and a long stretch of sand. Behind it are the big clubs, so daytime and nightlife mix. For a quieter swim, the Ses Salines dunes are 4.7 km away, part of the natural park with salt pans and juniper. The Puig des Molins necropolis, a Phoenician-Punic burial site, is 3.8 km away.

Dalt Vila, the walled old town of Eivissa, is 4.5 km from the hotel. Walk the 16th-century walls and visit the cathedral at the top. The town also has the port and the marina. For food, try bullit de peix, the island's fish stew served in two courses, or arròs a banda, a rice dish. Many restaurants in Playa d'en Bossa stay open late in summer, but check opening days in the shoulder months.

A day from Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza

Start the day with breakfast at the hotel, then take a taxi or the seasonal bus to Playa d'en Bossa, 1.5 km away. Spend the morning on the sand or in the water. The beach is long, so you can walk a good stretch. For lunch, head back to the hotel or find a beach bar. In the afternoon, visit the Ses Salines dunes, 4.7 km away, and walk among the juniper and salt pans.

In the evening, go to Dalt Vila, 4.5 km away, and walk the walls as the sun sets. The old town has narrow streets and views over the port. Have dinner in the town or back at the hotel. If you want nightlife, Playa d'en Bossa has the big clubs behind the beach, and a taxi back to the hotel is quick. The hotel's own bars and entertainment offer a quieter alternative.

Practical tips

The hotel stays open year-round, but much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates and the seasonal bus services. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the busiest beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears before you travel.
