Mondrian Ibiza

About Mondrian Ibiza

Mondrian Ibiza suits couples and families who want a five-star base on Ibiza's east coast with a quiet cove within easy reach. The hotel stands in Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, and the bigger resorts stay at arm's length: Santa Eulària des Riu is about 3.6 km away and Ibiza Town port about 8.4 km. Guests who plan to split days between the pool, the cove and the island's markets and old town fit the place well.

This is a large five-star hotel rather than a small guesthouse, and it carries a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 327 reviews. The listed facilities include an outdoor pool, a kids pool, a spa, a fitness centre, restaurants and bars, so a stay can be spent largely on site. It works for travellers who want a full-service base with a 24-hour front desk, and for those using the hotel as a starting point for the east coast's beaches and towns.

Location: Cala Llonga

Mondrian Ibiza has an address on Calle Atalaya in Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet between wooded headlands on Ibiza's east coast. The water in the bay is shallow, which makes it an easy place for children to swim, and the cove keeps a low-key feel next to the island's larger resorts. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, is about 3.6 km away, with a promenade, a marina and a river running through it.

Little beyond the bay is easily walkable: the shallow inlet at Cala Llonga is about 0.3 km away, while Talamanca lies about 7.3 km off and Ibiza Town port about 8.4 km. A taxi or hire car covers those trips in comfort, and seasonal buses serve the east coast with more lines in summer. July and August are the busiest weeks, with heavier traffic towards Santa Eulària des Riu; May, June, September and October are calmer, though some nearby businesses keep shorter hours outside the main season.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to a hotel built for long days on site. Couples have a spa, a fitness centre, an outdoor pool, a terrace and a lounge, plus bars and a café for the evening. Families get a separate kids pool alongside the main swimming pool, and the shallow inlet nearby adds another option for young swimmers. Toiletries, housekeeping and dry cleaning are listed, which helps on a week-long stay, and lifts and wheelchair-accessible facilities are listed too.

Late arrivals can rely on the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage, and bell boy, concierge and multilingual staff are listed for help with bags and plans. Practical extras include free wifi, car parking, an ATM on site and a shuttle service, so it is worth asking what the shuttle covers. Bicycle hire, canoe and motor boat hire, diving, fishing, sailing and horse riding appear among the listed activities; ask Mondrian Ibiza which it arranges directly and which it books through local operators. Confirm pool hours, spa access and parking with the property before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies about 15.6 km from Mondrian Ibiza in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the simplest way to cover that with luggage, and a hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the rest of the stay. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. Ask the hotel which connection suits your arrival day.

Ibiza Town port, about 8.4 km away, is where ferries leave for Formentera's La Savina, and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Fast ferries to Formentera take about 30-35 minutes; conventional ferries take about an hour. Santa Eulària des Riu is about 3.6 km from the hotel and Talamanca about 7.3 km. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check current timetables with the operators and confirm travel dates with Mondrian Ibiza.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swim is the beach in the inlet at Cala Llonga, about 0.3 km away. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, is about 7.3 km from Mondrian Ibiza. Santa Eulària des Riu, about 3.6 km off, has a promenade and a marina for an evening out. Two markets sit inland: Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, about 7.5 km away, and the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar, about 7.9 km. Check current market days, as these change with the season.

Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Eivissa, is about 9 km away; walking its Renaissance walls and climbing to the cathedral fills half a day. Mondrian Ibiza is not on the beach itself, so plan swims around the Cala Llonga inlet or a short drive south. On the food front, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, along with fresh fish and rice dishes in Santa Eulària des Riu and the smaller coastal villages.

A day from Mondrian Ibiza

Start with an early swim in the inlet at Cala Llonga, about 0.3 km from Mondrian Ibiza, before the bay fills in high summer. Return for breakfast, then use the outdoor pool or the fitness centre. Mid-morning, take a car or taxi about 7.5 km to the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, checking current market days first. Lunch back near the hotel keeps the afternoon free.

Spend the afternoon on the sand at Talamanca, about 7.3 km away, where the bay is calm and shallow. In the late afternoon, head about 9 km to Dalt Vila and walk the old town walls as the light softens. Return to Cala Llonga for dinner, or stop in Santa Eulària des Riu, about 3.6 km from Mondrian Ibiza, for a promenade stroll before the short drive back.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business, including many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, while the main towns stay open all year. Check Mondrian Ibiza's opening dates before booking; July and August are the peak weeks. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the hotel; the rate depends on the category of the accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
