Talamanca is a small and quiet resort lining a beautiful bay and has a long sandy beach.
Talamanca perfectly combines the best of both worlds - whilst peaceful, more lively entertainment is on hand with Ibiza Town close by. You can enjoy some fantastic views of the walled citadel of the old town as well as Formentera, which is often clearly visible in the distance.
The beach
The sheltered beach follows the line of this pretty semi-circular bay and is blessed with fine golden sand and very shallow water, ideal for safe bathing or splashing about.
At the back runs a long promenade which makes for a delightful walk all around the bay - at any time of year.
Restaurants and bars
Along the promenade there are many bars and restaurants serving good-quality food and well-mixed cocktails to satisfy all kinds of palates and budgets. This long stretch has everything from rustic beach huts and beach clubs to Mediterranean restaurants in all price ranges.
There are also exclusive and mid-range hotels with restaurants open to the public. Some of the restaurants and hotels are open all year round. The long promenade and beach of Talamanca are much favoured by locals who come here on summer and winter weekends to unwind.
Furthermore, within walking distance of Talamanca are the exclusive restaurants in the marinas of Ibiza Town, Marina Ibiza and Marina Botafoc. Think stunning views of Ibiza old town while enjoying excellent dishes, all with a beautiful cosmopolitan crowd adding to the ambience.
Things to do
Nearby activities include a good choice of boat excursions and boat charters from the nearby marinas in Ibiza Town - a day on the water is simply a must for any Ibiza holiday.
Location
Talamanca lies on the north side of Ibiza Town. The marinas can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Here, you will see some of the world's most impressive yachts, and the area is also home to a wide choice of restaurants and bars.
From Marina Botafoc, water taxis take you to Ibiza Town - it's a lovely ride across to the other side of the harbour, with the citadel Dalt Vila towering above you.
You can also walk into the centre of Ibiza Town, along the broad harbour promenade which is lined with tall palm trees and wide green lawns, passing Marina Ibiza on the way. It is a lovely stroll of about 20 to 30 minutes.
Jesús, a small neighbouring village, is a 30-minute walk or a short car ride away. Here, you will also find a good range of bars and restaurants.
Nightlife
Part of Talamanca's success as a resort is in attracting canny clubbers who relax there by day and wander the short distance to Ibiza Town in the evening for its amazing nightlife offering a wide selection of clubs and bars.
World-famous super-club Pacha, where you can see some of the best DJ's in the world, is just a ten-minute walk away, as are the nearby clubs Chinois Ibiza and Lío Ibiza.
Near the north-eastern end of the bay is Destino Five Ibiza, a spectacular open-air venue in a luxury hotel of the same name, belonging to the Pacha group.
Accommodation
Most hotels in Talamanca are situated right in front of the beach: in some you can literally step from your room onto the sand. Some of them are also open all year round with their restaurants and sunny terraces being favourites among locals during winter.
Alternatively, there are plenty of rental villas in and around Talamanca. Why not enjoy a holiday like the rich and famous do, in your own private holiday pad?
