Casa Maca Hotel

About Casa Maca Hotel

Casa Maca Hotel suits travellers who want space and quiet while staying close to the old town. The property is listed as an apartment or villa, so it appeals to couples who prefer a self-contained base and to families who need room to spread out. Lanes lead down towards Eivissa, and the pool and garden give somewhere to retreat once the town fills up. Days can be split between the old town and the water without much travel.

The stay is a three-star address with a guest score of 4.2/5 from 974 reviews. It is an apartment or villa rather than a large hotel, so public spaces are fewer and the rhythm is more domestic. Facilities listed include an outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace, a library and a lounge, plus a restaurant and a bar. Think of it as a practical base for exploring Eivissa, not a resort with an entertainment programme. Confirm current opening dates with the property before booking.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Casa Maca Hotel sits in the Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town area, on the Eivissa side of the island. This is the historic quarter: the walled upper town rises on the hill above the port, its Renaissance walls built in the 16th century, with the cathedral at the top. Below, the harbour handles ferries to La Savina on Formentera and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Residents and visitors share the same narrow streets, and the climb to the walls is part of daily life.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town is 2.1 km from Casa Maca Hotel on a straight line, the port 2.5 km, Talamanca 3.2 km and Playa d'en Bossa 3.6 km. Walking into the old town is realistic for many guests, though the final climb is steep and a taxi helps in the heat. Buses and taxis serve the beaches; a hire car is useful for the north and west of Ibiza. The port is busy late into the night in July and August, while May, June and October feel calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities listed for Casa Maca Hotel cover the practical side of a stay. A 24-hour front desk, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage and a safe help guests arriving on a late flight. Couples may value the library, lounge and fireplace outside high summer, while families can use the playground, the kids pool and the babysitting service. Free wifi, free car parking and a laundry service are listed too, along with dry cleaning.

The property also lists a bar, a café, a restaurant, a picnic area and a garden terrace, plus a beauty salon, a business centre and a meeting room. Some of these, the bar and restaurant in particular, may keep seasonal hours, so confirm what will be open for your dates. Wheelchair access is listed; ask which areas it covers. Horse riding, sailing and surf are listed as well, and it is worth asking how each is arranged and whether babysitting needs booking ahead.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 6.2 km from Casa Maca Hotel in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the simplest way with luggage, and the drive is short. A hire car gives freedom for the coves later in the stay, and free parking is listed at the property. Airport buses serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 2.5 km away, has ferries to La Savina on Formentera and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Fast ferries to La Savina take about 30-35 minutes. Talamanca, at 3.2 km, and Playa d'en Bossa, at 3.6 km, are a short ride from the property. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so check schedules with the operators before fixing dates at Casa Maca Hotel.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Puig des Molins necropolis is 2.1 km from Casa Maca Hotel, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999 with Dalt Vila, Sa Caleta and the posidonia meadows. The walls of Dalt Vila are 2.4 km away and are best walked early. Sa Caleta Phoenician settlement, on the south coast, is 9.3 km off. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay, is 3.2 km away and Playa d'en Bossa 3.6 km.

Island cooking leans on the sea. Look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew, often served in two courses, rice with broth first and the fish after. Fresh fish and rice dishes appear widely, and the old town has plenty of places to eat within reach of the port. Guests can eat in town and walk or ride back towards the property afterwards.

A day from Casa Maca Hotel

Start early and walk down towards the old town, 2.1 km from Casa Maca Hotel, then climb to the cathedral before the heat builds. The walls of Dalt Vila, 2.4 km away, take an hour or so to circle at an easy pace. Continue to Puig des Molins necropolis, 2.1 km from the property, for the Phoenician-Punic burial ground. A taxi back up the hill saves the steepest stretch.

Spend the afternoon at Talamanca, 3.2 km from Casa Maca Hotel, where the bay is shallow and sheltered, or at Playa d'en Bossa, 3.6 km away, for a longer shoreline. Return for the pool and a late walk along the port. For a longer outing, Sa Caleta Phoenician settlement is 9.3 km off and is best reached by car or taxi. Evening meals are easiest in town.

Practical tips

Casa Maca Hotel is busiest in July and August, when Ibiza is at its fullest. Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's own opening dates before booking outside summer. Spring and autumn bring fewer visitors and fewer flights. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on the season and the type of property, and children under 16 are exempt, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
