Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento

About Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento

Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento is a four-star hotel in Eivissa (Ibiza Town), a short walk from the walled old town and above the harbour. It suits travellers who want the town rather than a beach resort: the port, the ferry quays and the lanes of Dalt Vila are all reached on foot. Couples taking a long weekend and families needing apartment space both fit the listed setup.

The property is listed as a four-star hotel with hotel rooms and apartment units under one name, which explains the kitchens and kitchenettes among the facilities. Days can be built around the pool and the old town without needing a car. Late arrivals have a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage helps on a departure day when the flight leaves in the evening.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila sits on the hill above the port, with 16th-century Renaissance walls and a cathedral at the top, and the upper town forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999 as Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture. From Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento, the old town and Ibiza Town centre are 0.5 km away in a straight line, and the port is 1.2 km off.

Walking covers the immediate area: the Puig des Molins necropolis is 0.3 km away and the walls of Dalt Vila 0.7 km. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay, lies 2.2 km in a straight line and Playa d'en Bossa 2.6 km, both easier by bus, taxi or hire car in the heat. High summer brings crowds around the port; the shoulder months are quieter, though much of the island closes from roughly November to April.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a safe, a desk, a television and a telephone, plus toiletries, a hairdryer, a bathrobe and slippers. The kitchen and kitchenette, with a microwave, a refrigerator and coffee, are the reason families and longer-stay guests look here, and a sofa bed and cot appear among the listed items. Lifts serve the floors, and non-smoking rooms can be requested.

A 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and currency exchange cover late arrivals, while the outdoor pool, pool bar, fitness centre, restaurant and bar keep the day on site if wanted. Massage, laundry and a car rental service are listed too, and pets are allowed. Confirm with the property which units have a full kitchen rather than a kitchenette, whether any rooms face the sea, and the pet conditions.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 6.1 km south-west of Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Taxis and hire cars cover the run into town, and buses link the airport with Ibiza Town and other island centres, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for current times. Flights thin out in winter.

Ibiza Town port is 1.2 km away, with ferries to La Savina on Formentera, where fast crossings take about 30-35 minutes, and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for timetables, which shorten in winter. Once at Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento, the old town is a 0.5 km walk, and the car rental service at the hotel helps for coves beyond the town bus lines.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins, part of the UNESCO listing, is 0.3 km from the hotel, and the walk up to the walls of Dalt Vila is 0.7 km, finishing at the cathedral. Both can be done on foot before the day heats up. The lanes below the walls hold the everyday town, with its shops and the quayside.

Talamanca, a shallow bay across the marina, is 2.2 km away and Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on the island, 2.6 km; both are short hops by bus, taxi or car from Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento. The dunes at Ses Salines are 8.5 km off, inside a natural park since 2001. Island cooking means bullit de peix and arròs a banda, fish stew served in two courses.

A day from Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento

Start early with the 0.3 km walk to the Puig des Molins necropolis, then climb to the walls of Dalt Vila, 0.7 km from Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento, and follow them to the cathedral while the morning is still cool. Breakfast back near the hotel, then an afternoon by the pool or a bus to Talamanca, 2.2 km, for shallow water.

Late afternoon suits Playa d'en Bossa, 2.6 km away, when the light softens, and a taxi back is simple. Alternatively, walk 1.2 km to the port and take a ferry to La Savina, about 30-35 minutes fast, for a Formentera day, checking return sailings with the operator. Evenings belong to the old town: fish stew or rice, then a slow walk back below the walls.

Practical tips

Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check Hotel Cenit & Apts Sol y Viento's own opening dates before booking a winter trip; July and August are the peak, with the port and old town at their busiest. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that depend on the property type and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with under-16s exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
