With a sweeping, three-kilometre stretch of beach, Playa d'en Bossa really does have something for everyone, whatever type of holiday you want.
And whilst in Ibiza's most popular resort, would you not want to be right by the seashore? We know we would. Wherever you might want to stay here, all you need to do is step outside and you'll be falling over the bars, restaurants and beach clubs that run its entire length.
By day, you can lie on the beach or - if the mood takes you - try your hand at active pursuits such as boat trips, quad and Jeep tours. By night, it's a hop, skip and a jump to the many bars of the resort or to one of the superclubs.
Formentera, the islet of Es Vedrá, and Ibiza Town are all accessible via the ferries that depart from the Playa d'en Bossa ferry terminal. Boat parties also leave from here.
Here is our selection of some of the best places to stay, whatever your need, budget or vibe - all with an amazing panorama of Ibiza Town, pirate towers, the big blue sky and the sea beyond.
