Ocean Drive Talamanca hotel
Ocean Drive Talamanca is one of our favourite places to stay in Ibiza; it’s seriously our second home. Set moments from the beach, in the local’s much-loved neighbourhood, Talamanca, it’s the perfect location if you’re wanting to do a little bit of everything: it’s close to Ibiza Town and the clubs, and it’s close to the beach and the marina, too. Home to many a DJ passing through, the clientele here may be global, but the staff, many who have been here for several years, instantly make you feel right at home.
For more information or to book, visit their website.
BA
With numerous direct flights daily in the summer to Ibiza, from three different UK airports, they are our airline of choice. If you’re a Silver or Gold member in their Executive Club, you also get access, when you’re flying BA, to the Ibiza airport VIP Cap des Falcó lounge; head for Gate 1 and you’ll find it.
