Los Escondidos Ibiza

About Los Escondidos Ibiza

Los Escondidos Ibiza suits travellers who want space and quiet at the edge of Playa d'en Bossa rather than a room above a club. The three-star hotel sits on the road into the resort, with a garden, an outdoor pool and parking, and the sand is about 0.8 km away. Couples who eat out and drive round the island, and families who need a kitchenette and a cot, both fit the set-up here.

This is a small-scale, practical base rather than a resort with entertainment laid on. Los Escondidos Ibiza is rated three stars and carries a guest score of 4.9/5 from 102 reviews. Air conditioning, wifi, a safe and a desk cover the basics, while a kitchen, kitchenette, microwave and toaster make simple meals possible. Confirm the room type and arrival arrangements with Los Escondidos Ibiza before booking, including which rooms have a balcony.

Location: Playa d'en Bossa

Playa d'en Bossa is the longest beach on Ibiza, and the island's large clubs stand behind the sand. Los Escondidos Ibiza sits on the road into the resort rather than on the seafront, so the address works as a base a short hop from the water. The beach itself is about 0.8 km away. With the clubs close by, the garden and outdoor pool give a quieter place to return to at the end of a long night.

The beach and the nearest shops are a walk of roughly 0.8 km from Los Escondidos Ibiza. Most other runs are easier with wheels: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are about 3.6 km away, Ibiza Town port about 4.2 km, Talamanca bay about 5.3 km and the Ses Salines dunes about 5.7 km. A car kept in the hotel garage covers them quickly. More bus lines run in summer, so ask the hotel or the island bus operator about current routes and times.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is the arrival point, about 3.1 km from Los Escondidos Ibiza in a straight line, which makes the transfer one of the shortest on the island. A taxi or a hire car collected at the terminal covers it in a few minutes, following the road into Playa d'en Bossa. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check current routes with the island bus operator.

From Ibiza Town port, about 4.2 km away, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so a stay at Los Escondidos Ibiza can combine a beach base with island hopping. Dalt Vila stands about 3.6 km off and Talamanca about 5.3 km. Flights and sailings thin out in winter and some seasonal business closes, so check timetables with the operators and confirm the hotel's own dates before a low-season booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The beach at Playa d'en Bossa, about 0.8 km from Los Escondidos Ibiza, is the closest swim and the longest stretch of sand on the island. Talamanca, roughly 5.3 km away, is a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. The dunes and working salt pans of the Ses Salines Natural Park begin about 5.7 km off, and the Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is about 2.9 km away, on the way into town.

Eating on this coast means fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, appear on menus across the south, and grilled fish with rice dishes is the other reliable order. Away from the resort strip, the villages of Sant Josep de sa Talaia and Santa Eulària des Riu keep quieter kitchens. The kitchenette at Los Escondidos Ibiza lets you build a picnic for a day at the dunes.

A day from Los Escondidos Ibiza

Start with the short walk to the sand at Playa d'en Bossa, about 0.8 km from Los Escondidos Ibiza, before the sun gets strong. Mid-morning, drive about 3.6 km to Dalt Vila and walk the 16th-century Renaissance walls and the upper town, or stop at the Puig des Molins necropolis, about 2.9 km away, on the way. Lunch back near the pool, then a siesta in the garden while the resort wakes up.

Late afternoon suits the Ses Salines dunes, roughly 5.7 km from Los Escondidos Ibiza, where the light softens over the salt pans and the juniper. Alternatively, take the 5.3 km run to Talamanca for a shallow swim. Return, change, and head into Ibiza Town, about 3.6 km off, for dinner in the old town before the clubs along the strip fill up. A taxi covers the evening; the garage holds the car overnight.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, and the strip around Playa d'en Bossa is at its busiest in July and August. Confirm the opening months of Los Escondidos Ibiza for the year you plan to travel before booking outside the main season. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the category and season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
