About NYX Hotel Ibiza Adults only

NYX Hotel Ibiza Adults only suits couples and friends who want the west coast and the sunset strip within easy reach, with a town base rather than an isolated resort. The hotel stands on Calle S'embarcador at Playa Es Puet in Sant Antoni de Portmany, about 1 km from the town in a straight line. Short breaks, walking weeks around Sa Talaia and late-season swims all work from here.

This is a four-star hotel with a guest score of 4.4/5 from 1305 reviews. An adults-only policy shapes the whole property: the listed bars, the outdoor pool with its pool bar, the solarium and the terrace are set up for grown-up holidays. A garden and lounge give somewhere to sit away from the water, while the games room, table tennis, darts and an entertainment programme fill the hours when you stay on site.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany curves around a bay that faces due west, and the north shore of that bay is the sunset strip. The hotel sits at Playa Es Puet, with the town centre about 1 km away in a straight line, so the harbour, the promenade and the evening crowds are a short ride or a steady walk from the door. The hotel lists a beach nearby rather than direct access, so ask which sand is closest.

Beyond walking range, the west coast opens up by car, taxi or seasonal bus: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are about 4.1 km away, Cala Comte about 7 km, Cala d'Hort about 11.5 km. In July and August the coast road and the town centre are busy from late afternoon, so mornings are easier for swimming. In May, June, September and October the same coves are calmer and the water stays warm enough for long swims.

Rooms and facilities

The listed rooms come with air conditioning, a balcony, a bath, a hairdryer, toiletries, a safe, a minibar, coffee making, a desk and a TV, which covers the basics for a week on the west coast. Sofa beds appear in the list, so some rooms take a third person. Couples who arrive late will find a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and room service to bridge the gap before a first swim.

Because this is an adults-only hotel, ask what the age rule means in practice and how it sits with the family rooms that appear in the facilities list. Breakfast is listed, as are lifts, non-smoking rooms, free wifi, laundry service and free car parking on site. The facilities list also includes a sea entry, so confirm when booking which rooms face the bay and whether a balcony is guaranteed.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies about 12.4 km from the hotel in a straight line, on the other side of the island's south-west corner. Taxis and hire cars cover the run by road, and island buses link the airport with Sant Antoni, with more services in summer. The hotel lists a car rental service and free parking, which suits anyone collecting a car for the coves rather than relying on the timetable.

Ibiza Town port is about 13.5 km away in a straight line and handles ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni also has mainland routes in season, closer to the hotel door. Sailing times change with the season, so confirm with the operators. Flights and ferries are fewer between November and April, which matters when planning a late or early stay.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 4.1 km away in a straight line, small sandy inlets on the same west coast. Cala Comte is about 7 km off, with shallow clear water and islets offshore, and Cala d'Hort, about 11.5 km away, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet of about 380 m that nobody lands on. A car or a seasonal bus makes all three practical.

Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia starts about 6 km away in a straight line; the summit is Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m. Evenings stay local: Sant Antoni is about 1 km off for the sunset strip and the promenade. Island cooking is built around fish and rice, with bullit de peix and arròs a banda served in two courses, the broth first and then the rice. Markets at Punta Arabí and Las Dalias run on set days in season.

A day from NYX Hotel Ibiza Adults only

Start early with a swim at Cala Salada or Cala Saladeta, about 4.1 km away in a straight line, before the car parks and the sand fill up in high summer. Drive or take a taxi back through Sant Antoni, about 1 km from the hotel, for lunch, then spend the hot hours by the outdoor pool, on the solarium or in the garden, with the pool bar listed for drinks.

Late afternoon suits Cala Comte, about 7 km off, where the sun drops over the islets, or a shorter hop to Cala d'Hort, about 11.5 km away, for the view across to Es Vedrà. Back at the hotel, the terrace, bars and entertainment programme take the evening. Walking to Sant Antoni, about 1 km, puts you on the sunset strip before dinner, and a plate of fish and rice in town rounds off the day.

Practical tips

The season matters here. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check opening dates with NYX Hotel Ibiza Adults only before booking a winter stay; July and August are the peak, with May, June, September and October gentler and the sea still mild. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added by the accommodation for every night of the stay. Its rate follows the category of the hotel and the season, drops in low season and on longer stays. Confirm the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
