Talamanca
Popular family beach resort just to the north of Ibiza Town
A pleasant beach for families to enjoy with plenty of facilities and calm and tranquil waters, ideal for bathing.
Quieter than many of the other resorts in Ibiza, especially San Antonio and Playa d'en Bossa, it also helps that there are no towering hotel buildings along the beach. The other reason that Talamanca stands out from many other areas is that it is open all year round. Probably due to the proximity of Ibiza Town.
There is no real town to Talamanca, what was probably once a defined and separate place to Ibiza Town has been developed to the point where the border between the two is invisible. Now what is defined as ‘Talamanca’ is the resort area directly bordering Talamanca beach and possibly part of the marina promenade back to Ibiza Town.
Talamanca has everything you need for your holiday, a well equipped resort town it's an easy walk to the biggest town in Ibiza, you can't fail to find everything you need. Tourist information centres are dotted around and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Sights & Attractions in Ibiza Town
The beach itself and all the sights available in nearby Ibiza Town are Talamanca’s main draws, but it’s also well worth hiking the coastline to the north of the beach for the dramatic scenery, rugged coastline and beautiful remote landscape, surprisingly close to busy Ibiza Town.
Botafoch Marina is located at north end of Ibiza Town's harbour between the main town and Talamanca. It’s extremely exclusive so well worth a wander and a nosy at the millionaire’s yachts. At the end of the marina is Botafoch peninsula tipped by a lighthouse and home to Ibiza’s main ferry terminal.
The marina promenade that connects Ibiza Town to Talamanca is also a lovely place for a wander, bordered on one side by gleaming yachts and the other by equally gleaming restaurants, bars and hotels. The promenade itself is lined with children’s playgrounds and open air gyms making for an enjoyable walk full of people watching opportunities. Make sure you stop for a look at the Boas de Ibiza building with its rainbow balconies, one of Ibiza’s most photographed buildings.
Also bordering Talamanca beach is the ancient area of Ses Feixes, what looks like a scruffy area of greenery surprisingly undeveloped in the midst of this urban area is, in fact, the protected zone of Ses Feixes, what was once the vegetable garden for Ibiza Town. Of Moorish creation and featuring innovative use of irrigation systems, Ses Feixes is a piece of Ibizan history still growing before your eyes, worth a visit especially since admission is free.
