Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only

About Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only

Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only is a two-star apartment building in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on Ibiza's west coast, and it is adults only. The address is Carrer de Santa Rosalia, a short walk from the bay. Couples who want a quiet base with a pool, a bar and a 24-hour front desk, and who plan to spend days on the coast or climbing Sa Talaia, fit the place well.

The rating is two stars and the guest score is 4.8/5 from 10 reviews, so the stay is simple and well liked rather than full service. Apartments give more room than a standard hotel bedroom, which suits a week in Sant Antoni more than a night or two. The listed facilities are an outdoor pool, a pool bar, a bar/lounge, a lounge, an arcade and a 24-hour front desk.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

From Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only, Sant Antoni de Portmany is 0.7 km away in a straight line, so the bay, the harbour front and the shops of the town are a short walk. The bay faces due west and the north shore is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening. Staying slightly back from the waterfront keeps nights quieter while leaving bars and bus stops within reach on foot.

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.4 km away, Cala Comte 6.8 km and Cala d'Hort 12.5 km, all in a straight line, and the roads to the last two wind uphill, so a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus works better than walking. Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, is 7.6 km off. The west coast fills early in summer; May, June, September and October give the same coves with fewer cars.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities at Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only are listed as a 24-hour front desk, free wifi, multilingual staff, luggage storage, a lounge, an arcade, a bar/lounge, an outdoor pool and a pool bar. For couples the pool and the pool bar carry most of the day, and the lounge and arcade fill a cloudy hour. The 24-hour front desk helps anyone landing at Ibiza Airport, 14.1 km away, late in the evening.

Confirm with Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only what each apartment includes, how many people share it and whether pool towels are supplied. Ask about check-in and check-out times when booking, because the property sets them and they can move with the season. Anyone arriving after midnight should tell the property in advance so the desk expects them. Ask as well about parking, since the streets around Sant Antoni de Portmany fill in summer.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 14.1 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars make the run direct, and airport buses serve Sant Antoni with more lines in summer. Collecting a car at the airport helps if the plan takes in Cala d'Hort at 12.5 km or Sa Talaia at 7.6 km, both well beyond a walk.

Ibiza Town port is 14.8 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only in a straight line, and ferries leave it for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for current sailings. The port run means a car, a taxi or a bus along the coast road. Winter brings fewer flights and fewer crossings, so a stay outside the season needs more planning.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.4 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only, are the closest coves for a swim. Cala Comte, 6.8 km off, has shallow clear water and islets offshore and is the usual place for a sunset; Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km away, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7.6 km away; the climb suits a clear morning.

Ibiza's fish stew, bullit de peix, and the rice dish arròs a banda come in two courses and are the plates to try, with fresh fish and rice dishes alongside. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.7 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only, has plenty of places to eat in the evening, and the town keeps going for much of the year while many coastal bars close in winter. Ask at the desk which places are open in the week you visit.

A day from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only

Begin with the short walk into Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.7 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only, for coffee and supplies. Take the coast road to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.4 km away, and swim before the parking fills. Move on to Cala Comte, 6.8 km off, for the middle of the day, then come back to the pool and pool bar before the evening.

A second day can head south-west: Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km from Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only, for a swim with Es Vedrà in view, then the climb to Sa Talaia, 7.6 km away and about 475 m high, in the cooler late afternoon. Finish with the sunset over the bay at Sant Antoni, 0.7 km off, and dinner in town. A car makes the loop simple, and summer buses run more often.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates of Apartamentos Formentera II Adults only before booking a winter trip; Sant Antoni de Portmany itself stays open all year. Demand on the west coast is heaviest in July and August. The Balearic ecotasa, the sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by the accommodation at rates that depend on the type of accommodation and the season, with reductions in low season and on longer stays. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rates.
