One of our favourite places to stay in the area is the Ibiza GranHotel. Even to go just for the breakfast brunch, it’s fantastic! Mimosas, hand-cut iberico, fresh fruits and cakes… it’s all part of the show.
Both inside and out, the hotel exudes luxury. The staff continually go above and beyond for every guest, organising anything you could desire.

Dine in Style
Whether you’re craving the freshest seafood caught right in the waters of Ibiza, or innovative dishes that push culinary boundaries, this is a place to be! We mention varoius restaurants throughout the article, but in this part, we will focus on the two…
Cappuccino Grand Café opens every day at little after 8am and remains open until midnight. It is the perfect place to relax and marvel at the beautiful yachts in the marina. This café is part of a wider chain of premium restaurants across Spain. From Croissants and orange juice enjoyed best in the mid-morning sunshine; to cocktails and sushi at sunset. Cappuccino cultivates a relaxed atmosphere and provides friendly service for locals and tourists alike.
Roto restaurant sits on an incredible platform flying above the sea, meaning it offers amazing, uninterrupted views over the harbour. Roto has a precise aim; to transport their guests back to an earlier Ibiza. They boast a traditional menu with modern twists, aiming to shake up the marina’s culinary scene. The atmosphere in Roto is fun and upbeat, the location is unbeatable, and the food is impeccable. A must visit on your trip to Marina Botafoch.
Relax at Talamanca Beach
Talamanca beach sits just a short stroll away from Marina Botafoch.
The white sand shore stretches for miles, providing ample space for the vast number of visitors that enjoy their vacation here every single year. Even in the busiest summers, you will not struggle to find a place to relax on Talamanca beach. The beach stretches over 900 meters in length and is wide enough to offer lots of space for sunbathers, making it one of the larger beaches near Ibiza Town.
Talamanca is well-equipped with facilities that cater to the needs of its visitors. This includes a variety of restaurants and bars along the promenade, offering refreshments and meals. One of the newer options includes Bes Restaurant, with a super cozy atmosphere, great food and chill vibes. But each of the places in Talamanca offer a pretty laid back atmosphere which is rather in contrast with the sophistication and luxury you would expect from an eatery in this area. We can only say this adds to the charm of Ibiza. Enough options to satisfy yourself, your kids and even your mother in law.
Adding to this, the calm, crystal clear waters provide the perfect place to cool off in the Spanish sunshine. Just an insider tip: we wouldn’t choose this beach for a swim or snorkling session as sometimes we read about sewage coming out of the pipes that are lined there in the sea in front. Locals are working on it to prevent this happening, but there are beaches like Figueretes and Playa Den Bossa, if you’re looking something closer to Ibiza Town, or maybe Cala Longa, Cala Llenya or Cala Tarida, if you want to drive just a bit further away. With over 50 beautiful beaches on the island, we are sure you will find some for your dip in the sea.
And… what about the Shopping, you may ask?
There is a wide variety of shopping options, from luxury brands to unique boutique stores. Enjoy exploring high-end boutiques and jewelry shops, each with a remarkable collection of high-quality items. During your shopping trip, don’t forget to pick up essential sailing gear, a necessity in an area known for all the abovementioned yachting experiences…
Not just clothes or accessories, here you’ll find antiques, art, home decor, wines, and so much more. Whether you’re looking for a souvenir from your trip, a present for someone special, or a unique touch for your home, you’ll find a variety of options in the marina’s shops. Moreover, the staff at the stores go above and beyond to provide a seamless and personalized shopping experience, reflecting warmth and hospitality in every interaction. Marina Botafoch isn’t just a “shopping”, it’s an entire shopping event, waiting to be experienced!
