Best Value Hotels in Playa d’en Bossa, Ibiza

The 28-room Tropicana Ibiza Coast Suites is an upper-middle-range property that’s just five minutes from the beach. Funky 1970s Miami-style interiors attract young groups of friends and couples who cool off in the pool with a cocktail from the trendy bar. There’s a basic menu offered throughout the day, breakfast in the morning, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The stylish guest rooms feature colorful decor, kitchenettes, minibars, and balconies. Travelers seeking a beachside hotel with a buffet restaurant and spa might prefer the Hotel Garbi Ibiza & Spa. 

Located on a sandy beach in party-oriented Playa d’en Bosa, the budget (by Ibiza standards) Apartamentos Sal Rossa draws lots of vacationing young couples and groups. Within walking distance of the Ushuaia, Bora Bora, and Space nightclubs, the area can get rowdy during peak season, although it quiets down at other times of the year. Its 77 apartment-style rooms are clean, basic but pleasant, with separate bedrooms, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes that include stovetops, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Although most units have been upgraded, guests have complained about dated decor and thin walls in some of the units. There are such kid-friendly amenities as a children's pool and playground on the grounds, but Sal Rossa might not be the most family-focused place to stay in high season.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Playasol The New Algarb Hotel has a prime party location between the beach and main street of Ibiza's Playa d'en Bossa area. After a 2015 overhaul, this 406-room hotel emerged with an all-white minimalist look and new lease on life. Rooms have balconies, AC, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, but thin walls that let in lots of noise. The hotel's low price point and hoards of features, including four bars, beach club, buffet restaurant, poolside DJ and massage tent, and gaming consoles (to name a handful), make this a fantastic and popular beachfront bargain. Optional half-board and all-inclusive plans keep it easy, while the lively summer pool scene and nightly entertainment make it fun. Travelers looking for a quieter location should check out the stylish 40-room OD Ocean Drive off the Marina. 

With higher-end hotels becoming more common in Playa d'en Bossa, the two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Club Can Bossa provides a more affordable option for travelers who don't need much style or substance. The quiet location is a definite plus for most guests, yet it's still within a 10-minute walk of the beach. The outdoor pool is a fine place to recharge for the night ahead, and the poolside restaurant serves food all day. The 157 rooms are basic, but include air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and balconies come as standard. Travelers looking to be more centrally located could check out Apartmentos Sal Rossa, right on the beach -- though rates are slightly higher, and the area does get noisy in high season.

With a nearly 24-hour beach club bar and daily pool parties in summer, Bora Bora Apartments can offer both the party scene and the place to power nap in between. But as temperatures drop, the hotel's nonstop party vibe tends to cool down a bit, too. Located off lively road in Playa d'en Bossa, this mid-range property is close to everything, including some of the area's most popular clubs. This well-worn spot has 90 refurbished apartment-style rooms with contemporary decor, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and balconies; a sidewalk cafe out front; a bumping beach bar and restaurant out back; and central pool with hydrotherapy faucets. Following the cycle of clubbing, this property closes roughly between November and April. For an all-inclusive option with a slightly less intense party vibe, check out the beachfront Hotel Playasol the New Algarb just a few minutes down the road.
