Directly on a beach in a quiet area of Playa d’en Bossa, the luxurious Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa has a pool with underwater loungers and kiddy section, a buffet restaurant, and daily entertainment. Additionally, it offers guests free access to facilities at neighboring sister property Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, which has themed restaurants, a fully equipped fitness center, an upscale spa, kids’ and teens’ clubs, and two more pools. The resort’s 430 appealing, contemporary rooms have wooden floors, a bright color palette, and furnished balconies or terraces. Some rooms are a little tight, while units overlooking the bar area can get some noise at night. Opened in mid-2015, the Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa is a more luxurious and stylish option than its sister resort.
Scene
A relatively quiet beachfront all-inclusive resort offering access to a huge array of amenities
Formerly the Fiesta Club Palm Beach, the property reopened in the summer of 2015 as the Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa after top-to-bottom renovations. It is a large beachfront all-inclusive with a medium-size pool, various dining and drinking options, and daily entertainment. It also offers a wide array of family-friendly amenities, but they are all located at neighboring sister property Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, which makes this resort somewhat quieter and more relaxing. Decor is contemporary and cheerful throughout, with a light color palette and bright fuchsia accents. With cream-colored floors, pillars, and walls, and a few fuchsia and turquoise poufs around low tables, the lobby has a particularly fresh, casual feel. The restaurant is also modern and stylish, with white round ornaments standing out against the dark ceilings, and a mix of yellow and black chairs. Grounds have a modern, Mediterranean vibe with bright green lawns and palm trees standing out against the stark white buildings, light stone walkways, and blue skies and pools.
Location
On a quiet, sandy beach near some of the top clubs in Ibiza
The beachfront hotel sits on a quiet stretch of Playa d’en Bossa, the largest beach in Ibiza. Most of Ibiza’s top nightclubs -- including Space, Bora Bora, and Ushuaïa -- are within 10 to 15 minutes' walking distance, but this part of town is much quieter than areas north of the property. There is not much in the immediate vicinity aside from the beach, but restaurants, bars, and shops can be found within easy walking distance of about five minutes, and the hotel offers shuttle service. The town of Ibiza is a five- to 10-minute drive away, and the Ibiza Airport is within a five-minute drive. There's a bus stop within 50 meters of the main entrance, and service is frequent.
Rooms
Sunny and contemporary, with furnished balconies and wooden floors
The 430 rooms at Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa are stylish and contemporary, with wooden floors, large windows opening onto furnished balconies or terraces, and a cheerful color mix of white, browns, and fuchsia accents. Units range from Standard Rooms to Suites, and all have flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, electric kettles, air-conditioning, safes, and either empty mini-fridges or (in Junior Suites and up) stocked minibars. MP3 docks, pillow menus, and robes are available with fees. Bathrooms are appealing and modern, with white tiles, heated towel racks, and white sinks over dark brown counters; there are walk-in showers in Standard Rooms, and jetted tubs in Junior Suites and Suites. Some rooms have ocean views, while others overlook the pool area. Suites have outdoor whirlpools and sliding doors separating the living areas from the bedrooms.
