Platja d'en Bossa, Beach resort in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain.
Platja d'en Bossa is a 2.7 km beach in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, about 3 km south of Ibiza Town and 3.2 km from the airport. Its fine white sand is 20 to 30 m wide, and the water stays shallow: about half a metre at 25 m out and one metre at 50 m. The bay faces east and is exposed to strong onshore winds, which surfers use. Large hotel complexes, restaurants, shops and both low and high-rise buildings line the shore.
Space Ibiza opened in 1987 in a former conference and exhibition centre that had failed and was sold. In the early 1990s its DJs moved their sessions onto the open-air terrace beside the club, starting the after-hours parties the resort is known for. Ushuaïa later became the area's other main music venue, hosting BBC Radio 1 events.
