Casa Esquitx

About Casa Esquitx

Casa Esquitx is an unrated apartment or villa set in a quiet part of Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the west coast of Ibiza. It suits travellers who want a base with space, a garden and a pool, without being in the middle of the nightlife. The property is about 2.3 km from the town centre, so you can enjoy the sunset strip and the bay while staying somewhere calmer.

The villa is not rated with stars and has no guest score. It offers free parking, free wifi, an outdoor pool, a terrace, a garden and a picnic area. There is also an arcade, which makes it a practical choice for families or small groups. The accommodation is simple and self-catering, so you organise your own meals and daily routine.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Casa Esquitx sits on the Carretera De Cap Negret, on the north shore of Sant Antoni bay. That shore is known as the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening to watch the sun drop into the sea. Sant Antoni de Portmany itself is a working town with a long promenade, a marina, shops and restaurants. It faces due west, so the light in the late afternoon is strong and warm.

The villa is 2.3 km in a straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany, so the town centre is a short drive or a longer walk. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 0.9 km away, which is closer than the town, but the road is winding and there is no pavement for the whole way. A car is the easiest way to move around, though taxis are available. In high summer the area is busy, but in May, June and September it is more relaxed.

Rooms and facilities

The property is listed as an apartment or villa, so it likely has a living area, a kitchen and bedrooms, though the exact layout is not given. The facilities include free wifi, an outdoor pool, a terrace, a garden and a picnic area. There is also an arcade, which suggests space for games or a covered walkway. The property is not described as beachfront, so the nearest coast is Cala Salada at 0.9 km straight line.

For couples, the villa offers privacy and a pool to cool off in. For families, the garden and arcade give children room to play. There is free car parking, which helps if you hire a car. Late arrivals should check with the property about key collection and arrival times, as these are not listed. Confirm the number of bedrooms, the kitchen equipment and whether the pool is open all year.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 15.7 km from Casa Esquitx in a straight line. A taxi takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic, and a hire car is a good option because you will need it for the coves. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni, but the route may not stop near the villa, so check the island bus operator for current lines and stops. The villa has free parking, so a car is convenient.

If you arrive by ferry, Ibiza Town port is 16.3 km away. From there, you can take a taxi or drive along the main road to Sant Antoni. There are also ferries from Sant Antoni to some mainland ports in season, which could be useful for a day trip. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines stop running. Check the ferry operators and the bus company for current timetables.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 0.9 km from Casa Esquitx, a pair of small coves with clear water and pine trees. They are popular in summer, so go early. Cala Comte is 6.8 km away, known for shallow water and offshore islets, and it is a good spot for swimming and watching the sunset. Cala d'Hort is 13.3 km away and faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet that nobody lands on.

Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.3 km away and has a promenade, a marina and a range of shops and restaurants that stay open year round. The island's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses. You can find these in many restaurants in the town. For a view, Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 9.1 km from the villa.

A day from Casa Esquitx

Start the day with a short drive to Cala Salada, 0.9 km away. The cove is small, so arrive early to find a spot. Swim in the clear water and then walk to Cala Saladeta, which is just around the headland. In the middle of the day, head back to the villa for lunch by the pool. The garden and picnic area are good for a relaxed afternoon.

In the late afternoon, drive to Cala Comte, 6.8 km away, and find a place on the rocks or the sand to watch the sun go down. The water is shallow and clear. On the way back, stop in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.3 km from the villa, for dinner. Try the local fish stew. If you have energy, walk along the promenade before returning to Casa Esquitx.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Casa Esquitx about its opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and the highest demand for cars. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged by the accommodation per person per night; the rate changes with the season and the type of accommodation, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for the current rate.
