Ibiza hotels are grouped by town. Choosing what town to stay in depends on whether you're on a family holiday, a romantic break or a wild and boozy week of pubbing and clubbing with your friends.

Ibiza town
Ibiza town can be found on the south side of the island and is definitely the place to go if you're after partying and fun! The main nightlife areas of the town are the port areas of Sa Penya and La Marina. During the day these trendy areas are busy with visitors out and about shopping and sightseeing, while in the evenings the bars come alive and are overflowing with a pre clubbing crowd.

If you want to be within steps of a beach then look for Ibiza hotels in Talamanca. Talamanca is a quiet and peaceful resort just a stone's throw from Ibiza town. It has a long wooden boardwalk overlooking the beach, which is lined with bars and restaurants. There are lot of hotels located on the beach.

Beach lovers should also stay at Figueretas, a suburb of Ibiza town, which boasts a magnificent sandy beach. Figueretas is the closest beach to Ibiza town and boasts spectacular views of the Old Town.

Playa d'en Bossa is another resort at the edge of Ibiza town. It is home to the longest beach in the island and has lots of beach bars and restaurants.

San Antonio
San Antonio is the hard party town of Ibiza. This is the destination for you if you love bar-hopping, all night parties and nightclubs that stay open until the next day!
The main nightlife area of the city is Sunset Strip which is lined with pubs and restaurants aimed at the pre-nightclubbing crowd. As the sun sets, most of this crowd head to the waterfront where most of the towns major clubs are located like Eden and Es Paradis.
If you have the family in tow, then it may be better to avoid the high season of July and August when the town is extremely busy with party goers.

Santa Eulalia del Rio
This is a quieter more relaxing destination so it's popular with couples and families. Santa Elulia can be found just 15km north of Ibiza town and just 21km from the airport. It is famous for having some of the island's best restaurants, exclusive shopping and many cultural centres. It's got a lively nightlife too but nothing compared to that of Ibiza or San Antonio.
Its old town is definitely worth exploring and you could easily get lost here for hours. Check out the extravagant yachts in the port area! You can enjoy a ferry trip from the port to the paradise island of Formentera.

Hotels in Ibiza range from humble 1 star hotels to exclusive 5 star hotels. If you need cheap hotels in Ibiza then book a 1 or 2 star hotel which provide clean and comfortable accommodation for your stay. These hotels are basic but perfect if you are more of a nightowl!

Of course, there's plenty of mid-range hotels and if you want to splurge then check out Ibiza's magnificent 5 star hotels.
There are so many hotels in Ibiza to choose from - you can book a family hotel, a spa hotel, a self catering hotel, a beach hotel, an apartment hotel and lots more.
Hope you find the perfect Ibiza hotel for your stay!
