About Apartamentos Mar i Vent

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany is a resort town on Ibiza's west coast, built around a bay that faces due west. The north shore of the bay is known as the sunset strip, lined with bars and restaurants that draw crowds for the evening sun. The apartments are on Calle Balanzat, 0.5 km straight line from the centre of Sant Antoni, so the bay, shops and bus stops are within walking distance.

The area is busy in July and August, with a lively atmosphere along the front. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, it is quieter but still open. A car is useful for reaching the coves further out: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 3 km straight line away, and Cala Comte is 6.6 km. The airport is 13.6 km straight line, and Ibiza Town port is 14.5 km.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, a sofa bed and a balcony or terrace. Air conditioning is listed, as are a TV, a safe and a hairdryer. Free WiFi is available in the rooms. The property has lifts and non-smoking rooms.

For late arrivals, the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage are useful. Guests should confirm the exact room layout and the number of beds with the property when booking, especially if travelling with children or in a group. Toiletries are listed as provided.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.6 km straight line from the apartments. A taxi takes about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni, with more services in summer and fewer from November to April. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the west and south coasts.

From Ibiza Town port, the distance is 14.5 km straight line. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni itself has some mainland ferry routes in season. The apartments are 0.5 km from the centre of Sant Antoni, so arriving by taxi or bus from the airport or port is straightforward.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches to the apartments are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 3 km straight line away, a pair of coves with clear water and pine cover. Cala Comte, 6.6 km straight line, has shallow clear water and islets offshore, popular for sunset views. Cala d'Hort, 11.9 km away, faces Es Vedrà, a limestone islet nature reserve where no one lands.

Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7 km straight line from the apartments. A climb gives views over the island. Local food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. Many restaurants in Sant Antoni serve these, but none are named here.

A day from Apartamentos Mar i Vent

Start the morning with breakfast on the apartment's balcony or terrace, then walk to the bay in Sant Antoni, 0.5 km away. Take a taxi or bus to Cala Comte, 6.6 km away, for a morning swim in the shallow water. The coves have no shade, so bring a hat and water.

Return to the apartments for lunch, using the kitchenette. In the late afternoon, drive or take a taxi to Sa Talaia, 7 km away, for the climb and the view. End the day back in Sant Antoni on the sunset strip, watching the sun go down over the bay. Dinner can be at one of the town's restaurants or cooked in the apartment.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the apartment's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more crowds. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and accommodation type, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
