On a beachfront in a quiet area of Playa d'en Bossa, the upscale Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa has two large freshwater pools, three theme restaurants, a fully equipped gym, a modern spa with an indoor/outdoor pool, extensive sports facilities, and kids’ and teens’ clubs, plus daily entertainment. Spacious, bright rooms range from Doubles to Master Suites with two bedrooms, and have balconies or terraces as well as bathrooms with jetted tubs and showerheads. Some of the rooms have dated decor not up to scratch for this caliber, while others have been updated. Packed with family-friendly facilities, the Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza is also within a five-minute walk of Ibiza’s famous nightlife.

Directly on a beach in a quiet area of Playa d’en Bossa, the luxurious Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa has a pool with underwater loungers and kiddy section, a buffet restaurant, and daily entertainment. Additionally, it offers guests free access to facilities at neighboring sister property Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, which has themed restaurants, a fully equipped fitness center, an upscale spa, kids’ and teens’ clubs, and two more pools. The resort’s 430 appealing, contemporary rooms have wooden floors, a bright color palette, and furnished balconies or terraces. Some rooms are a little tight, while units overlooking the bar area can get some noise at night. Opened in mid-2015, the Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa is a more luxurious and stylish option than its sister resort.

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.

Hotel Club Bahamas Ibiza is a 514-room upper-middle-range property that includes all-inclusive options, a pool, a spa, a fitness center, direct access to a sandy beach, and two restaurants. It's within walking distance of Ibiza’s top clubs and draws many young couples and groups of friends. Rooms are bright and contemporary, with balconies and aquamarine accents, and come with flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. Be aware that the music around the pool can be loud, and the proximity of the airport means planes can be heard as they take off and land.

The 245-room Sirenis Hotel Club Tres Carabelas & Spa is a popular all-inclusive right on the beach. Rooms in this upper-middle-range property are spacious and bright with balconies, and include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and air-conditioning, but except for the renovated Superior Rooms and Superior Junior Suites,decor is plain and dated (renovations are planned for all rooms). The property includes an outdoor pool with whirlpool and snack bar, a kids' pool, a fitness center with cardio- and weight-training equipment, a good buffet-style restaurant, and daily entertainment. But the highlight here is the spa, which includes a large, glassed-roof indoor lap pool, massage cabins, whirlpools, and salon services. The hotel is a popular pick for bachelor and bachelorette parties, which can mean noise at times. Sister property Sirenis Hotel Goleta & Spa is located next door, and while its rooms are more modern, it does not offer all-inclusive rates.
