Hostal Roig

About Hostal Roig

Hostal Roig suits travellers who want a straightforward, no-frills base in the centre of Sant Antoni de Portmany. The guesthouse is within a short walk of the bay and the shops, bars and restaurants of the town. It is a practical choice for solo travellers, couples or small groups who plan to spend most of their time out exploring the island rather than at the accommodation.

The guesthouse is rated with two stars. Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a desk, a fan, a safe, a TV, a telephone and a terrace. The location puts the town's amenities on the doorstep, and the west-facing bay means the evening sun is visible from the nearby promenade.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Hostal Roig is in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the west coast of Ibiza. The town's bay faces due west, and the north shore is known as the sunset strip. The guesthouse is 0.2 km straight line from the centre of Sant Antoni, so the harbour, the main beach and the evening promenade are all within a few minutes on foot. In high summer the town is busy with visitors, and the restaurants and bars along the front are lively until late. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the pace is quieter, and the streets are less crowded.

For beaches beyond the town, a car or taxi is the most practical option. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.9 km straight line north of the guesthouse. Cala Comte, with its shallow clear water and offshore islets, is 7.2 km straight line south-west. Cala d'Hort, which faces the islet of Es Vedrà, is 12.5 km straight line south. The highest point on Ibiza, Sa Talaia, is 7.3 km straight line south-east and can be reached by car or on foot if you are prepared for a steep climb.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Hostal Roig are listed with air conditioning, a desk, a fan, a safe, a TV, a telephone and a terrace. The guesthouse does not list a swimming pool, restaurant or bar, so guests should expect a basic stay focused on the room and the location. The terrace offers a private outdoor space, which is useful for a quiet moment after a day out.

The guesthouse is best suited to couples or solo travellers. Families with young children may find the room size and the lack of dedicated family facilities limiting; it is worth confirming the room configuration directly with the property. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure with Hostal Roig in advance, as reception hours may vary outside the main season.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.6 km straight line from Hostal Roig. A taxi from the airport to Sant Antoni takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island, and the guesthouse is close to the main road into Sant Antoni. In summer, buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni; the bus stop in town is a short walk from the guesthouse. In winter, flights are fewer and bus services are reduced, so a taxi or hire car is more reliable.

Ibiza Town port is 14.2 km straight line from the guesthouse. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni also has some mainland ferry routes in season. From the port in Ibiza Town, a taxi or the bus to Sant Antoni are the options. The guesthouse is 0.2 km straight line from the centre of Sant Antoni, so once you reach the town you can walk to the door.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches within walking distance are the town beach in Sant Antoni bay. For clearer water and a more natural setting, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.9 km straight line north; these two coves are set among pine trees and have fine sand and rocks. Cala Comte, 7.2 km straight line south-west, has shallow water and views of small islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km straight line south, faces the limestone islet of Es Vedrà, a nature reserve where landing is not allowed.

The guesthouse is in Sant Antoni itself, so shops, supermarkets, pharmacies and the evening promenade are all within a few minutes' walk. The sunset strip along the north shore of the bay is a short stroll away. For a walk with a view, the climb to Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7.3 km straight line south-east. The island's food specialities include bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes; these are widely available in the town's restaurants.

A day from Hostal Roig

Start the morning with a walk along the Sant Antoni promenade, then take a hire car or taxi the 7.2 km straight line to Cala Comte. The cove has shallow clear water and views of the small islets offshore. Spend the late morning swimming and resting on the sand. For lunch, the area around Cala Comte has several places serving fresh fish and rice dishes, though you can also bring your own supplies from Sant Antoni.

In the afternoon, drive 12.5 km straight line south to Cala d'Hort, the cove that faces Es Vedrà. The limestone islet rises about 380 m from the sea and is a nature reserve with no landing allowed. The view from the cove is the main attraction. Return to Sant Antoni in the late afternoon. The bay faces due west, so the evening sun is visible from the promenade or the north shore. Dinner in town finishes the day.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Hostal Roig's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, when Sant Antoni is at its busiest and accommodation fills early. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, often called the 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 with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
