FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's a saltwater pool that relies on the sun. Refreshing in July, brisk in May/October.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, but it's 'chill kid' friendly. There's a small kids' pool and kids' menu, but no loud water slides or animation teams.
How far is the party zone?
Ibiza Town and the big clubs (Pacha, Ushuaïa) are a 20-25 minute drive. This is the quiet side of the island.
Do I need a car?
Not strictly. You can walk to everything in Santa Eulària and take the ferry to Formentera or Ibiza Town. But a car helps for exploring northern coves.
Is the beach private?
Technically public (all Spanish beaches are), but the hotel has a dedicated section with serviced loungers for guests.
What is the pet policy?
Very pet-friendly for dogs up to 30kg, but it costs €138 per stay and they can't be left alone in the room.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes north to the marina for the ferry to Formentera—a perfect day trip without the hassle of Ibiza Town port.
- ✨
The 'Tribe' garden often has live acoustic music or a DJ playing chill beats at sunset—grab a spot early.
- ✨
Ask for a room with a bathtub if that matters to you; many only have rainfall showers.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Mountain View' is really just a 'Street/Hill View'—don't expect the Alps.
💡The bathroom doors are sometimes glass/sliding, offering limited acoustic privacy.
💡You can hear the ocean waves from bed in the Sea View rooms if you crack the door.
💡The concierge can book you a 'wellness day pass' that includes massage and ice bath even if you aren't staying (good for friends visiting).
💡Room service stops around 10:30 PM, so don't plan on a midnight feast.
