Hostal Baleàric Adults Only

About Hostal Baleàric Adults Only

Hostal Baleàric Adults Only suits couples and friends who want a simple, adults-only base a short walk from Sant Antoni de Portmany. The guesthouse holds two stars, so expect straightforward comfort rather than resort extras, and the adults-only rule keeps things calm. It works well for travellers who spend the day at the coves and the evening in town, then come back to a quiet room without the noise of a large complex.

The property is a hostal, a small Spanish guesthouse rather than a full-service hotel. Facilities listed include air conditioning, free wifi, a garden, a terrace, a patio and a lounge, which cover the basics for a short break. Breakfast is listed, and there is a bar and snack service on site. Nothing here suggests a large complex, so the stay is personal and low-key, with the desk able to help with the practical side of a week on the west coast.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Hostal Baleàric Adults Only sits on Carrer De La Soledat, in the street grid of Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.5 km from the town in straight-line terms. The bay here looks west, and the sunset strip runs along its northern shore, within walking distance of the guesthouse. The harbour and promenade are on the doorstep by town standards, so evenings need no transport at all.

Walking covers the town and its waterfront. For everything beyond it, a car, a bus or a taxi is needed: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.6 km away, Cala Comte is 6.9 km, Cala d'Hort is 12.4 km and the climb to Sa Talaia begins 7.5 km from the door. In July and August the coast roads fill early and parking near the coves goes quickly, while May, June and September leave more room to move.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a desk, a refrigerator, a safe, a hairdryer and a TV. Couples get the essentials for a week of swimming and late dinners, and the adults-only rule means no family noise. Express check-in, a wake-up service and luggage storage cover late arrivals and departure days, and non-smoking rooms are listed, with a smoking area elsewhere on the property.

The listed extras also include a garden, a patio, a terrace, laundry service, a market and a barber and beauty salon. Confirm with Hostal Baleàric Adults Only which of these are open during your week, when breakfast is served and whether the shuttle service runs on your dates. Check-in and check-out times vary between small guesthouses, so settle yours with the property before booking flights.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.9 km from Hostal Baleàric Adults Only in straight-line terms, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the simplest route with bags. Buses from the airport serve Sant Antoni, with more lines in summer, and collecting a hire car on arrival gives freedom for the coves. Expect heavier traffic on the approach into town in the evening.

Ibiza Town port is 14.6 km from Hostal Baleàric Adults Only, which matters if you arrive from Formentera or the mainland. Sant Antoni also has some mainland ferry routes in season, so check the operators for current sailings. Ibiza Town holds Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, and makes a full day out. Seasonal buses reach more of the west coast in summer; winter brings fewer services and fewer flights.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.6 km from Hostal Baleàric Adults Only, are the closest swims on this stretch of coast. Cala Comte, at 6.9 km, is known for shallow clear water and its sunset, while Cala d'Hort, 12.4 km south, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that nobody lands on. All three are easiest by car or taxi, and the approach roads narrow near the coves.

Eating follows the island pattern: fish stew served in two courses, bullit de peix followed by arròs a banda, and grilled fish with rice. The town's restaurants and bars line the bay and the streets behind it, and the guesthouse lists a bar and snack service for evenings when you stay close to base. Many places close roughly from November to April, so winter choices narrow considerably.

A day from Hostal Baleàric Adults Only

Start early and drive the 2.6 km to Cala Salada before the parking fills in high summer. Swim, then move on to Cala Comte, 6.9 km from Hostal Baleàric Adults Only, for shallow water and a late-morning swim among the islets offshore. Return to the guesthouse, eat something light and rest through the hottest part of the afternoon.

Later, walk the 0.5 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany and follow the north shore of the bay as the sun drops. For a different shape of day, drive 7.5 km and climb Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, or head 12.4 km to Cala d'Hort to watch Es Vedrà change colour. Book a taxi back if the sunset runs late.
