Showcasing a vista cast across the yacht-strewn waters of Talamanca Bay and Ibiza Town is Ocean Drive Talamanca. A five-star property that revels in a prime location and enjoys one of the finest sunrises on the island, this hotel originally conceived in the 1970’s embodies a time when the golden days of Ibiza first sparkled.
From OD hotels, the five-star escape alludes to its cool 70s character with 117 rooms and suites that subtly blend Mediterranean materials with design elements that reflect the decade it was first built. The hotel’s home in Talamanca, which includes a nature reserve nearby, offers an oasis that enjoys all Ibiza has to offer at a couple’s fingertips. Championing slower, relaxed moments in contrast to many other party-centric properties found in Ibiza, Ocean Drive Talamanca is a great option for couples who want the best of both worlds, from late nights in some of the world’s most iconic nightlife destinations to tranquil mornings with the ocean.
With rooms and suites across all categories looking out over the cerulean waters, honeymooning couples can discover a curated series of romantic touches and experiences to enhance their stay. From ice cold bottles of sparkling wine to enjoy on arrival, the concierge team can also arrange for the hotel’s signature locally inspired breakfast to be served in the room, perfect for slow mornings. Meanwhile for newlyweds to maximise their stay and lap up the delights of their ocean-facing room, late check-out can also be arranged.
A highlight of Ocean Drive Talamanca is the OD Sky BAR: the refined rooftop bar, restaurant, and pool that is the ultimate platform for the hotel’s gorgeous views over the beautiful bay. For couples, the luxury of reserved sunbeds awaits before evenings roll around for twilight cocktails and a line-up of polished dishes from the kitchen. Meanwhile, at the spa, intimate wellness experiences notably include the Kobido wellness massage – a Japanese facial and upper back treatment to ensure couples return home with complete with a honeymoon glow.
When it comes to weddings, the hotel’s event team will take couples under their wing to curate an exceptional celebration that personally reflects the pair. The comprehensive wedding planning service includes start-to-end coordination, décor, a content team, and a DJ. This is in addition to bespoke menus from the culinary experts with Mediterranean flavours and a variety of traditional Spanish dishes mixed expertly with Asian elements. Notably, ladies of the wedding party can enjoy a gourmet in-room bridal breakfast to set the stylish tone for the day ahead. This is in addition to the variety of on-site accommodation for their guests to enjoy and parking to make full use of.
Providing a true sense of place in the heart of the Mediterranean is the OD Sky BAR. With two large terraces, it is one of the hotel’s most popular spaces for private events and celebrations. From wedding welcome drinks to reception parties for the big day itself, here Ocean Drive Talamanca can seat up to 70 people, or 150 for standing receptions with exciting food stations such as local Iberica ham slicing. Embracing couples’ personal visions, the events team understands that every celebration is different. To complement the rooftop experience, Ocean Drive Talamanca also has Club Piropo. Unveiled here is the hotel’s soundproofed club and event space which can welcome up to 120 people. This club space allows wedding guests to party into the early hours, in the knowledge that they’re not disturbing those around them.
The variety of guest experiences, personalised touches, and complimentary surprises on hand at Ocean Drive Talamanca ensure the hotel makes a lasting impression for each couple who choose to celebrate with them. Whether it’s crafting an intimate and romantic moment on site to the backdrop of the iconic island, the team can also arrange the best experiences across Ibiza, from exclusive yacht charters, VIP club access and securing in-demand dining hotspots.
