Apartamentos Casa Maria

About Apartamentos Casa Maria

Apartamentos Casa Maria suits travellers who want a base in the middle of Sant Antoni de Portmany rather than a resort on the edge of it. The address on Obispo Torres puts the bay, the waterfront and the town's evening life within a short walk, and the apartments give self-catering flexibility that a standard hotel room does not. Couples on a first visit and families mixing beach days with town time both fit here.

This is a three-star apartment building, so expect practical comfort rather than full resort service. The facilities list includes a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, air conditioning and a balcony, with an outdoor pool, a solarium and a lounge in the shared areas. Breakfast and lunch are both listed, which makes a short stay simpler. Longer stays work too, with cleaning and a laundry service on the list.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany is 0.1 km from the door, which in practice means the apartments sit inside the town rather than outside it. The bay faces due west and the north shore is the sunset strip, so evenings here revolve around the water and the light. Shops, cafés and the town's own streets are on foot; the harbour area has mainland ferry routes in season, and Ibiza Town port is 14 km away by straight line.

Some beaches need wheels. Cala Comte is 7.2 km away and Cala d'Hort 12.3 km, both west-coast coves best reached by car, taxi or a seasonal bus, and the island bus operator has the current lines. In high summer the town is busy after dark and the pool becomes the calm option. By May, June, September and October the same streets are easier to walk and the coves quieter, though fewer seasonal services run.

Rooms and facilities

Couples will find the layout practical: a kitchenette and refrigerator for breakfast on the balcony, air conditioning for August nights, and a safe for documents. Families get more room from a sofa bed where one is listed, plus a games room and a pool that keeps children busy between beach trips. Late arrivals can rely on the 24 hour front desk and luggage storage, and lifts help with bags and pushchairs.

Smoke detectors, security features and 24 hour security are on the list, alongside a first aid point. Guests who need step-free access should ask about the wheelchair accessible areas and how the lifts serve each floor, since layouts vary between apartments. Confirm with Apartamentos Casa Maria which units have a balcony or terrace, whether the kitchenette includes a hob, and whether breakfast comes as a tray in the apartment or in the bar and snack area.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.4 km away in a straight line, south-west of Ibiza Town and on the far side of the island from Sant Antoni. Taxis and hire cars cover the run directly; buses from the airport serve Sant Antoni, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for the current timetable before landing. A hire car arranged through the apartments' car rental service is the simplest option for a beach-heavy week.

From Ibiza Town port, 14 km away, the road crosses the island to the west coast. Ferries from that port go to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and a fast ferry to La Savina takes about 30-35 minutes, so the crossing is a realistic day out if you leave early. Sant Antoni's own harbour has mainland routes in season. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm times with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 3.1 km away, the closest coves to the apartments and an easy half-day by car or taxi. Cala Comte, 7.2 km, is known for shallow water and islets offshore and is the standard sunset outing from Sant Antoni. Cala d'Hort, 12.3 km, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands, inside a protected natural park.

Walking from Apartamentos Casa Maria means the town and the bay; everything else is a drive. The climb to Sa Talaia, Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, starts 7.1 km away. On the food side, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, and plain grilled fish with rice. Menus in Sant Antoni lean towards both, and the town stays open through the winter.

A day from Apartamentos Casa Maria

Start early with coffee from the kitchenette and walk the bay before the heat builds. Take a car or taxi 3.1 km to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta for a morning swim in shelter, then return to town for lunch at the apartments. The afternoon is for Sa Talaia: the climb begins 7.1 km away and gives the widest view on Ibiza from about 475 m.

Late afternoon, drive 7.2 km to Cala Comte, where the water is shallow and the sunset over the islets is the reason people come. If the coves are full, stay local: the north shore of Sant Antoni bay faces due west and the sunset strip is a short walk from the door. Come back for a swim in the pool and a drink at the pool bar, then eat in town.

Practical tips

Book around the seasons at Apartamentos Casa Maria. Peak demand falls in July and August, with the busiest roads and the fullest pool terrace. The shoulder months bring warm sea, about 18-19 °C in May and 23-25 °C in September. Many tourism businesses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so check the apartments' own opening dates before a winter stay. A Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears has the current rules.
