Concava Camp

About Concava Camp

Concava Camp suits travellers who want a rural base on Ibiza instead of a resort address. The three-star hotel sits in the countryside outside Sant Antoni de Portmany, in the west of the island, with a garden, terrace and picnic area on the grounds. Couples planning to drive to coves, walkers, and families needing space and parking fit here best. Sports facilities on the property give active guests plenty to fill the hours between outings.

The stay is practical rather than design-led: three stars, a long facilities list and a countryside setting. Air conditioning, a safe and a television appear among the room features, and some categories add a kitchen or kitchenette. Free wifi and free car parking make a week's stay easy to organise. Dinner is listed on site, bars are listed, and housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning services cover the practical side.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Concava Camp has a rural address in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the western side of Ibiza, away from the resort strips and their late noise. Pine slopes, dry stone walls and small farms make up the surroundings. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 11 km away in a straight line, Santa Eulària des Riu 13.2 km and Portinatx 12.4 km, so the main corners of the island sit within a manageable drive.

Very little is walkable beyond the lanes around the property, so a car or the island bus network does the work. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 10.5 km off in a straight line, the north coast calas paddled by kayak 13.4 km, and Ibiza Town port 15.2 km. In high summer the west coast roads fill early and cove parking goes first; in May, June and late September the same drives are quicker and quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to take a room with a balcony or patio and use the tennis court, squash court and archery range between beach trips. Families book the family rooms, where a kitchenette, oven and washing machine make a longer stay easier to run. Cots, high chairs and a babysitting service are listed, which helps parents plan an evening at the bar. Aerobics, massage and a solarium also appear.

Because the facilities are listed rather than described in detail, several points are worth confirming with Concava Camp before booking: whether the kitchenette comes with a full set of utensils, whether the balcony looks over the garden, and how the babysitting service is arranged. Late arrivals should ask about reception hours and express check-in, as rural hotels often keep a shorter desk day. Guests with mobility needs should ask about the grounds.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 19.2 km from Concava Camp in a straight line, south-west of Ibiza Town in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Collecting a hire car at the airport is the simplest way to reach a rural address, and free parking at the hotel means it can stay put. Taxis cover the run. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the operator for the nearest stop.

Ibiza Town port, 15.2 km away in a straight line, handles ferries from Formentera and the mainland, and the drive across the west of the island is straightforward outside peak hours. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 11 km off, is the closest town of any size and the obvious first stop for supplies. Portinatx is 12.4 km away and Santa Eulària des Riu 13.2 km. Winter brings fewer flights and thinner bus timetables, so check connections before fixing plans.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 10.5 km away in a straight line, are the closest named coves, north of Sant Antoni de Portmany, with shallow water and pine running down to the rocks. The north coast calas suited to kayaking are 13.4 km off and make a good day out with a boat or a guided paddle. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, 13.6 km away, runs on Saturdays in season; check current days.

The island kitchen is built on fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the dishes to look for, a fish stew served in two courses, broth with rice first and the fish after. Port cafés at Sant Antoni de Portmany and village bars inland both serve versions. With a kitchenette and oven at Concava Camp, cooking in after a long beach day is a simple alternative.

A day from Concava Camp

Begin early at Concava Camp and head west before the heat builds. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 10.5 km off in a straight line, take the first swimmers of the day, and the water is calmest in the morning. Drive on into Sant Antoni de Portmany, 11 km away, for coffee and a look at the bay, then return to the hotel for the shade of the garden, terrace or solarium.

Late afternoon suits the north coast, where the calas used for kayaking lie 13.4 km from the hotel; a paddle there, or a drive up to Portinatx at 12.4 km, fills the gap before dinner. On a Saturday in season, Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, 13.6 km away, works as an evening stop, though current days are worth checking. Dinner at the hotel, then a drink at the bar.

Practical tips

Plan around the season: many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, though the main towns stay open all year. Concava Camp's own opening dates should be confirmed with the hotel before a winter booking. July and August form the busiest stretch, with sea temperatures around 25-26 °C and slow traffic on west coast roads. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the property type and the season, under-16s are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the rules in force.
