Platja d'en Bossa
Platja d'en Bossa
Ibiza's longest beach and its biggest party strip, just south of Ibiza Town, home to world-famous clubs Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza.
Platja d'en Bossa, often written Playa d'en Bossa, is a busy resort just south of Ibiza Town, built along the longest beach on the island. By day it is all beach clubs and pool parties; by night it is the island's main clubbing hub, home to two of the most famous nightclubs in the world. It sits minutes from the airport.
What Platja d'en Bossa is known for
Platja d'en Bossa is best known for its nightlife and its beach clubs. The resort is home to Ushuaïa, a huge open-air club where star DJs play around a hotel pool by day, and Hï Ibiza across the road, repeatedly voted the best club in the world. Along the sand are well-known beach clubs and bars, busy from morning pool parties to late nights. Behind them runs a long strip of bars, restaurants and shops. The beach itself, the longest on Ibiza at over two kilometres, has a calmer, more family-friendly feel at its southern end.

Experiences and things to do in Platja d'en Bossa
The big draw is the clubbing: a day party at Ushuaïa and a night at Hï Ibiza are the classic pairing. Along the beach, the beach clubs run from relaxed sunbathing to full pool parties. By day you can swim, try water sports or simply walk the long sand, which is quieter and calmer at the southern end. Ibiza Town and its old town are a short ride or a coastal walk away.

Travel tips for visiting Platja d'en Bossa
The central stretch near the clubs is the liveliest; head south for a calmer, more family-friendly stretch of beach. Tickets for Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza are cheaper booked in advance than on the door. It is the closest resort to the airport, handy for short trips but with some aircraft noise. A coastal path links the beach to Ibiza Town in about 30 minutes on foot. The club season runs from May to October; out of season it is much quieter.
