The Ultimate Guide to TUI BLUE Aura Ibiza: Local Tips from a Team That's Worked Here Since 2013
Planning a stay at TUI BLUE Aura Ibiza?
You've picked one of the island's most popular family-friendly hotels, perfectly positioned in the peaceful bay of Port des Torrent, just a few minutes from San Antonio. With beautiful sea views, spacious pools, fantastic entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere, it's a hotel that many guests return to year after year.
At Massage Beach Ibiza, we've been part of TUI BLUE Aura since 2013, providing professional massage and beauty treatments for thousands of holidaymakers.
Over the years, we've chatted to guests from all over the world, shared local recommendations and watched families discover their favourite places around the hotel.
So instead of writing another generic travel guide, we thought we'd share the tips we'd genuinely give to friends and family if they were staying here for the first time.
Whether you're travelling as a couple, with friends or bringing the children, these are the little things that can help turn a great holiday into an unforgettable one.
1. Spend Your First Morning Exploring the Hotel
It might sound obvious, but one of the best things you can do after checking in is simply take a walk around the hotel before settling by the pool.
Discover where everything is.
Take in the sea views.
Find your favourite place to sit with a coffee.
Get your bearings before the holiday really begins.
Most guests head straight to the main pool, but TUI BLUE Aura has plenty of peaceful corners that are easy to miss if you don't spend a few minutes exploring first.
It's the perfect way to slow down and ease yourself into holiday mode.
2. Don't Miss the Second Pool
Here's one of our favourite insider tips.
Almost everyone discovers the main pool beside the entertainment stage within minutes of arriving.
What many guests don't realise is that there's another swimming pool tucked away on the opposite side of the hotel.
Walk around to the right-hand side of the stage and you'll find a quieter pool overlooking the sea.
It's often much more peaceful than the main pool and offers some lovely views across the bay.
If you're looking for somewhere to read a book, enjoy a quieter swim or simply escape the busiest part of the hotel for an hour, this is the place.
After working at TUI BLUE Aura since 2013, it's still one of our favourite spots in the hotel.
3. Walk to the Fishermen's Huts
Port des Torrent beach is beautiful, but many visitors never explore beyond the sand.
We'd definitely recommend taking a gentle walk across the beach and continuing around the rocky coastline.
You'll soon come across the traditional fishermen's huts that have been part of Ibiza's coastline for generations.
The views from here are fantastic.
It's also one of our favourite places for a quiet swim away from the busiest part of the beach.
The water is beautifully clear, the surroundings are peaceful and it's a lovely place to spend half an hour simply enjoying the scenery.
It's one of those places that doesn't appear in many guidebooks but is well worth discovering.
4. Pack a Snorkel – You'll Be Glad You Did
If there's one thing we'd recommend bringing with you before travelling to Ibiza, it's a snorkel.
Port des Torrent is one of our favourite places on the island for snorkelling, especially around the rocks near the fishermen's huts.
The water is usually wonderfully clear and there's plenty of marine life to discover.
You'll often see colourful fish swimming around the rocks and, if you're lucky, you might even spot an octopus hiding beneath them.
Full-face snorkels have become incredibly popular in recent years and they're a fantastic option for both adults and children who want to spend more time comfortably exploring beneath the surface.
It's a simple addition to your suitcase that can create some wonderful holiday memories.
5. Discover Some of Ibiza's Best Beaches
One of the biggest advantages of staying at TUI BLUE Aura is its location.
Some of Ibiza's most beautiful beaches are only a short drive away.
If you've hired a car, we'd highly recommend visiting:
Cala Bassa
Cala Conta
Cala Tarida
Each has its own character, from crystal-clear turquoise water and fantastic snorkelling to spectacular sunsets and relaxed beach restaurants.
If you're visiting during July or August, try to arrive early in the day, as parking can become busy during peak season.
Even if you only visit one of them during your holiday, you'll understand why Ibiza's west coast is famous throughout Europe.
6. Enjoy Fresh Fish at Can Pujol
If you're planning to eat outside the hotel one evening and enjoy fresh seafood, there's one restaurant we regularly recommend to guests.
Can Pujol has earned an excellent reputation for serving fresh fish in a relaxed waterfront setting and has long been a favourite with both locals and returning visitors.
It's the sort of place where the quality of the ingredients speaks for itself.
During the height of summer it's well worth booking a table in advance, particularly if you'd like to dine around sunset.
After more than a decade working in the area, it's still one of the restaurants we recommend most often.
7. Take the Ferry into San Antonio
If you'd like a change of scenery without the hassle of driving or finding somewhere to park, the local ferry is one of our favourite ways to visit San Antonio.
It's a relaxing journey along Ibiza's beautiful coastline and a great activity for both adults and children.
Once you arrive, you can browse the marina, enjoy an ice cream along the promenade, explore the shops or simply watch the boats coming and going before heading back to Port des Torrent.
It's a simple trip, but one that many guests tell us becomes one of their favourite afternoons of the holiday.
8. Remember You're on Holiday
One thing we've noticed after working at TUI BLUE Aura since 2013 is that many guests try to fit too much into their holiday.
Boat trips.
Markets.
Beach clubs.
Excursions.
Restaurants.
They're all wonderful experiences, but don't forget to leave time to simply relax.
Spend a morning by the pool.
Read another chapter of your book.
Enjoy a long lunch.
Take an afternoon nap.
Or simply sit and enjoy the incredible sea views.
Some of the best holiday memories aren't planned at all.
They're the quiet moments when you finally slow down.
9. Make Time for Yourself
When you're at home, life is busy.
Work, school runs, cooking, emails and endless jobs all compete for your attention.
Your holiday is your opportunity to press pause.
Many of our guests tell us they nearly didn't book a treatment because they felt they were too busy enjoying everything else Ibiza has to offer.
Almost every one of them says exactly the same thing afterwards:
"I wish I'd booked it earlier."
Since 2013, Massage Beach Ibiza has been providing professional massage and beauty treatments here at TUI BLUE Aura, helping thousands of guests relax during their stay.
Our dedicated treatment cabana is just a short stroll from the pool, making it easy to enjoy a treatment without leaving the hotel.
