About Apartamentos Rita

Apartamentos Rita suits travellers who want a simple, self-catering base in the west of Ibiza, close to the town of Sant Antoni de Portmany. It is a one-star apartment property, so the stay is practical rather than luxurious. The apartments work well for couples and families who prefer to cook their own meals and keep costs down, while still having bars, restaurants and the bay within easy reach.

The property sits on Calle Bartomeu Vicenç Ramon, about 0.3 km from the centre of Sant Antoni de Portmany. That puts the sunset strip, the promenade and the ferry links within a short walk. The listed facilities include kitchens or kitchenettes, air conditioning, free WiFi, a balcony or terrace, and a 24-hour security presence. This is a straightforward, functional choice for a west-coast holiday.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany is a bay that faces due west, and its north shore is known as the sunset strip. The town has a lively promenade, a marina, and a range of bars and restaurants that fill up in the evening. Apartamentos Rita is 0.3 km from the town centre, so most of what Sant Antoni offers is walkable. The nearest beach, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, is 2.8 km away in a straight line, and Cala Comte is 7.1 km away.

In high summer, Sant Antoni is busy and noisy, with crowds along the front and traffic on the main roads. The apartments are on a side street, which helps with the noise. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the town feels calmer, and many seasonal businesses start to close from November. The location is good for exploring the west coast, but a car is useful for the coves and viewpoints further out.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with kitchens or kitchenettes, so self-catering is straightforward. Each unit has a refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee-making facilities. Air conditioning and a fan are listed, along with a safe, a TV, a radio and free WiFi. There is a balcony or terrace, a sofa bed for extra guests, and a desk in some units. Bathrooms come with a bath or shower, hairdryer and toiletries.

Families are catered for with cots and family rooms, and a laundry service is available. The property lists a restaurant, a bar or snack area, and a concierge. A 24-hour security service and smoke detectors are in place. For late arrivals, luggage storage is listed. Confirm with the property whether the restaurant is open in your dates, as seasonal closure affects many places on Ibiza.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.7 km away in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic, and a hire car gives flexibility for the west coast. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni in summer, with fewer services in winter. The straight-line distance is 13.7 km; the road route is longer.

The ferry port at Ibiza Town is 14.3 km away in a straight line, so travellers arriving by ferry from the mainland or Formentera will need a taxi, bus or hire car. Sant Antoni also has some mainland ferry routes in season, which puts the apartments about 0.3 km from the port. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April, so check schedules with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.8 km away in a straight line, a pair of coves with clear water and pine cover. Cala Comte, 7.1 km away, is known for its shallow water and islets offshore, and is a popular spot for watching the sunset. Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km away, faces Es Vedrà, a limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing allowed.

For a view, Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7.4 km away in a straight line. The climb rewards with a panorama of the island. In Sant Antoni itself, the promenade and the sunset strip are within walking distance. Food on the island includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. No restaurant names are given here.

A day from Apartamentos Rita

Start the day at Apartamentos Rita with breakfast in the apartment, using the kitchenette. Walk the 0.3 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany and take a morning stroll along the promenade. Then drive or take a taxi the 2.8 km to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta for a swim. The coves have shallow water and shade from the pines, though they fill up quickly in summer.

In the afternoon, head to Cala Comte, 7.1 km away, for the clear water and the islets offshore. Return to the apartment to rest, then walk to the sunset strip on the north shore of the bay for the evening view. For a longer excursion, drive to Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km away, to see Es Vedrà from the cove. End the day with a meal in Sant Antoni, using the restaurants within walking distance.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Apartamentos Rita about its opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and the highest prices. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of stay, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
