Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil

About Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil

Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil suits travellers who want a sociable bed in the middle of Sant Antoni de Portmany and a base for the west coast. The address is Calle De Santa Rosalía 25, 0.6 km from the town centre, so the bay, the sunset strip and the everyday shops are all a walk away. Groups of friends, solo travellers and younger families can use the same building.

It is a hostel rather than a hotel, rated two stars, and it runs on the practical rhythm of a hostel: a reception that never closes, a kitchen for guests, a pool and a bar area. That makes it a fit for travellers who prefer company to a quiet corridor. Ask which room or dormitory category you are booking, because the building mixes spaces and the layout and privacy differ between them.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

The bay at Sant Antoni de Portmany opens to the west, which is why its north shore fills at sunset, and Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil sits 0.6 km back from the water on Calle De Santa Rosalía. Streets behind the front carry the shops, bakeries and cafés that a hostel stay needs. The main towns of the island stay open through the year, and Eivissa is the nearest of them.

Walking covers the town: Sant Antoni de Portmany is 0.6 km from the hostel door. The closest swimming is Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta at 2.5 km, and the climb to Sa Talaia is 7.5 km out. Cala Comte, 6.9 km away and known for its sunset, and Cala d'Hort at 12.5 km are easier with a car, a bus or a taxi. High summer crowds the bay and the west-coast roads, while late spring and October leave more room on the pavement.

Rooms and facilities

The listed room features point to a practical base rather than a hotel suite: air conditioning, a balcony, a bath, a hairdryer, a safe and a television, with sofa beds in some units for a family or a group sharing. A 24-hour front desk, 24-hour security, express check-in and luggage storage all help when a flight into Ibiza Airport, 14 km away, lands late in the evening.

Outside the room the hostel lists an outdoor pool with a pool bar and solarium, a garden and terrace, a games room with table tennis, darts and karaoke, a night club, free wifi, free car parking and a garage. A kitchen, laundry service, dry cleaning, an iron and board and a business centre cover longer stays. Confirm with the property which of these run all year, whether breakfast and dinner are served daily, and whether babysitting and the shuttle need booking ahead.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 14 km from Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis wait at the terminal and the island bus operator runs lines towards Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more services in summer; check the current timetable before travelling. Picking up a hire car at the airport puts the west-coast coves within easy reach.

Ibiza Town port, 14.7 km from the hostel, is the main gateway for ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and Sant Antoni itself has some mainland routes in season; ask the ferry operators for current sailings. Arriving by sea, the transfer is a road journey of the same scale as the airport run. Winter trims the flight and ferry schedules, so leave room in the plan.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Swimming from Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil means the coves on this side of Ibiza. The closest coves, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, are 2.5 km from the door and the shortest trip from the hostel. Cala Comte, 6.9 km away, draws a crowd for the sunset over the islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km south, faces Es Vedrà and lies inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park.

Walkers can take the climb to Sa Talaia, 7.5 km from the hostel and about 475 m at the summit, the highest point on Ibiza. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.6 km away, handles the everyday eating, and the island's two-course fish dishes, bullit de peix and arròs a banda, are the local thing to order. Rice dishes and grilled fish make up much of the west-coast menu.

A day from Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil

Begin with the walk into Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.6 km from Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil, for breakfast and supplies, then head to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.5 km away, for a morning swim. These two coves are the shortest outing on the list, which leaves the afternoon free. A bus, a taxi or a hire car covers the rest of the day.

After lunch, choose the climb to Sa Talaia, 7.5 km from the hostel and about 475 m high, or the drive to Cala Comte, 6.9 km off, where the sunset over the islets is the reason people go. Es Vedrà and Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km to the south, need a half-day of their own. Finish on the strip north of the bay, a short walk from the hostel.

Practical tips

The busiest weeks at Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza Albergue Juvenil fall in high summer, when Sant Antoni de Portmany fills and the west-coast coves and roads are at their most crowded. Many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza shut roughly from November to April, so check the hostel's own opening dates before a winter booking. Rates for the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the accommodation, vary by season, category and length of stay, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
