Ocean Drive Talamanca

Hidden just behind the sweeping golden curve of Talamanca, Ocean Drive Talamanca feels like the south coast’s best-kept secret. This is a five-star Ibiza boutique hotel with some serious style credentials and an easygoing attitude that makes you want to unpack and stay forever. Designed by local architectural duo Victor Rahola and Mayte Matutes, this chic retreat pairs modernist lines and Mediterranean materials with a soft, tranquil energy that’s made it the go-to choice for Ibiza’s jetset, visiting DJs and international artists, in addition to island insiders and in-the-know visitors. It’s just a two-minute walk to the beach, a short drive to the buzz of Ibiza town and conveniently located for hopping on the highway and exploring the rest of the island.

Rooms at Ocean Drive Talamanca all face the sea and each comes with  creature comforts like Bluetooth speakers, a pillow menu, a Nespresso coffee machine and a selection of Taschen books. For something indulgent, there are Duplex Suites with private swimming pools and private terraces, two spacious bedrooms, plus a kitchen with a separate entrance so the hotel’s catering service can do their thing without disruption. The Junior Suite offers a separate living space as well as a comfy bedroom and can be connected to a Deluxe Room, making it the perfect choice for families staying at the Ibiza boutique hotel. Both the Duplex and Junior Suites include a car for the duration of your stay and convenient on-site parking means there’s no scrambling for parking after a long day at the beach. The innovative Lofts are wonderfully expansive with vast windows that open wide to let the Mediterranean in – ideal for couples seeking extra space to unwind.

The hotel’s interiors are a celebration of light and natural textures. Clean lines and design-led details are enveloped with thoughtful extras that ensure a stay that feels personal and polished. One of the few five-star Ibiza boutique hotels on the island that allows fur babies (as well as the human variety obviously), its proximity to the swank and swagger of Marina Botafoch make it ideal for morning walkies, while nearby clubbing hotspots Chinois Ibiza and Pacha Ibiza make this hidden gem the perfect base from which to enjoy all the after-dark dancing Ibiza has to offer. Ocean Drive Talamanca also comes with a whole host of services that are the perfect yin to the island’s often wild yang. A full-service spa, luxe gym and four swimming pools mean the only decision left to make is whether to take a dip, stretch it out or dive into spa mode.

There are eats aplenty at Ocean Drive Talamanca. The Up & Down restaurant, where you can lounge poolside throughout the day and well into the evening, offers a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavours using KM0 produce, while the rooftop OD Sky Bar is all about imaginative cocktails, breathtaking views of Dalt Vila and laid-back beats. With its low-key glamour, impeccable location and thoughtful design, Ocean Drive Talamanca an Ibiza boutique hotel showcases the best of Ibiza in a quietly confident way. Whether you’re here for beach days, city nights or poolside lounging with a twist, this is one of those places you’ll want to keep to yourself – but probably won’t be able to stop talking about it.
