Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only

About Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only

Couples who want the west coast on the doorstep and a calm base after dark tend to settle into Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only. The hotel is for adults only, which keeps the pool terrace and the garden easy through the afternoon. Its address on Avinguda De Portmany puts Sant Antoni de Portmany 0.3 km away, so the bay, the sunset strip and the town's restaurants are a short walk rather than a drive.

Three stars and a guest score of 4.5/5 from 1302 reviews describe a straightforward holiday hotel rather than a resort with a long list of extras. Expect the essentials done properly: a pool, a bar, air conditioning and a lift to the room. Couples travelling in May or late September get the same west-coast base with fewer people around the bay and shorter waits at the pool bar.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany wraps around a bay that faces due west, and the north shore is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening to watch the sun drop into the water. Behind it the town is a working, year-round place with a harbour and a promenade. West-facing means warm light late in the day and a sea that stays shallow a good distance out, and out of season the resort returns to that working character.

The town centre is 0.3 km from the door, an easy walk for dinner or for the bus station. Everything beyond needs wheels: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta sit 3.3 km away, Cala Comte 7.4 km, and the start of the climb to Sa Talaia 7 km. Buses cover the main routes in summer, and a hire car or taxi is simpler for the small coves. In July and August the bay fills up, while May, June and October leave more room on the sand.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a television, a refrigerator, a safe and a hairdryer, which covers the practical side of a beach holiday. The balcony is the useful part: somewhere to dry towels and sit out in the evening. Non-smoking rooms are listed, and the lifts make an upper floor no problem with a suitcase. Housekeeping and cleaning are listed, so a shorter stay does not mean managing linens yourself.

Downstairs the hotel lists an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a garden, a terrace and a lounge, plus a bar and snack service. There is a 24-hour front desk, which suits late arrivals from flights that land after dark, along with parking, a car rental service, laundry service and free wifi. Confirm with the property which of these run all season, how parking spaces are allocated, and whether the pool bar keeps evening hours.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.2 km away in a straight line, south-west of Ibiza Town and across the island from Sant Antoni. A taxi is the direct option with luggage, and a hire car collected at the airport ends the drive in the town centre, 0.3 km from the hotel. Buses link the airport with Sant Antoni, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator before relying on one.

Ibiza Town port is 13.8 km away in a straight line, the terminal for ferries to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Arriving by sea means a transfer across the island to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.3 km from Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, and much of the island's seasonal business closes from roughly November to April, so the hotel's own opening dates matter.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves lie west and south of town. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 3.3 km away in a straight line, a pair of small sandy inlets below pine. Cala Comte is 7.4 km, with shallow clear water and islets offshore, and Cala d'Hort 12.4 km, a cove facing Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands. All three are easiest by car or seasonal bus.

Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia begins 7 km away; at about 475 m it is the highest point on Ibiza, and the route up gives the whole west coast at once. Food in Sant Antoni leans on the sea: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. Plates are built for sharing, and the town's tables are a short walk from the door.

A day from Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only

Start with the pool terrace before the sun is high, then walk the 0.3 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany for coffee and a look at the harbour. Take a car or seasonal bus to Cala Salada, 3.3 km away, and swim in the morning calm, with Cala Saladeta alongside. Back in town for a late lunch of rice or fish, and a couple of hours out of the sun.

In the late afternoon, drive the 7.4 km to Cala Comte for sunset, or stay closer and join the north shore of the bay, where the sun drops straight into the water. The 12.4 km run to Cala d'Hort is the alternative, with Es Vedrà offshore and the cliffs of the natural park behind. Evenings end near the hotel: dinner in town, then the 0.3 km walk back.

Practical tips

Hotel Vibra Marco Polo II Adults Only sits in a bay that empties in winter: much of Ibiza's tourism business closes from roughly November to April, and July and August are the peak, so confirm opening dates with the hotel before booking a spring or autumn trip. Expect the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) to be added per person per night by the accommodation, with the rate set by accommodation type and season, lower in low season and on longer stays, and under-16s exempt; check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
