Hotel Florencio

About Hotel Florencio

Hotel Florencio suits travellers who want a simple, well-placed base in Sant Antoni de Portmany rather than a resort with a long list of extras. The address on Carrer Soledat is 0.3 km from the town centre, so the bay, the promenade and the buses are within a short walk. Couples touring the west coast and families who want a pool at the end of the day fit easily here.

Hotel Florencio is a three-star hotel with a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 882 reviews. The listed facilities point to a practical town property: an outdoor swimming pool, a terrace, a lounge, a bar and a restaurant, with air conditioning, free wifi and a 24-hour front desk. A 24-hour front desk covers late arrivals when a flight lands after dark.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany is built around a bay that faces due west, and the north shore of that bay is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening to watch the sun go down over the water. The town has a harbour and a long promenade, and it stays awake outside the main season. Hotel Florencio is 0.3 km from the centre.

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.7 km from Hotel Florencio in a straight line, the nearest coves to the hotel. Cala Comte is 7 km away, Sa Talaia 7.4 km and Cala d'Hort 12.4 km, so a hire car or a taxi is the sensible way to reach the coast beyond the bay. Bike rental and car rental are listed, which helps for shorter and longer trips.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Hotel Florencio are listed with air conditioning, a TV, a safe, a bath, a hairdryer and toiletries, and non-smoking rooms are available. Family rooms and cots are listed for those travelling with children. A 24-hour front desk and luggage storage are useful if you land late or leave on an evening sailing from Ibiza Town port, 14.4 km away.

Confirm a few things when you book: the room type and whether a cot is needed, how the pool and terrace are used on your dates, and whether breakfast or lunch fits your plans. Special diets are listed, so mention any requirement in advance. Scuba diving and surfing feature on the hotel's list of facilities, and reception can explain how these are arranged.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.7 km from Hotel Florencio in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the quickest transfer with luggage, and a hire car collected on arrival gives you transport for the whole stay. There are bus connections between the airport and Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more lines in summer; check times with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port is 14.4 km away in a straight line, which matters if you arrive from Formentera, Palma or the mainland. Some mainland routes also run from Sant Antoni in season, which can shorten the transfer. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check timetables with the operators. The last 14.4 km from the port is best done by taxi or hire car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.7 km away, make an easy half day from Hotel Florencio. Cala Comte, 7 km from the hotel, has shallow water and islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 12.4 km away, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands. The climb to Sa Talaia, Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, begins 7.4 km from the hotel.

Fish and rice shape the menu on this coast. Look for arròs a banda and bullit de peix, the island fish stew served in two courses: first the fish, then the rice cooked in the broth. Sant Antoni de Portmany has plenty of places to eat within 0.3 km of Hotel Florencio, from bakeries in the morning to long dinners near the bay.

A day from Hotel Florencio

Begin with breakfast at Hotel Florencio, then use the pool or terrace while the morning is still cool. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.7 km away, so a bike from the rental service or a short taxi ride gets you into the water early. Another option is the trail to Sa Talaia, 7.4 km from the hotel, for the climb to about 475 m.

Move west in the late afternoon to Cala Comte, 7 km from Hotel Florencio, for shallow water and a view of the islets. Return to Sant Antoni for sunset over the bay, with the sunset strip 0.3 km from the hotel, then eat in town. With a second day, take the car rental service for the 12.4 km run to Cala d'Hort and the view of Es Vedrà.

Practical tips

Hotel Florencio is at its busiest in July and August, when Sant Antoni de Portmany fills and the west coast coves get crowded early in the day. Many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so confirm the hotel's own opening dates before booking flights. Your booking also carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that depend on category and season and children under 16 exempt; the Govern de les Illes Balears sets the rules.
