Palladium Hotel Palmyra

About Palladium Hotel Palmyra

Palladium Hotel Palmyra suits travellers who want a base in Sant Antoni de Portmany with the west coast within easy reach. The address on Carrer del Doctor Flèming is about 0.8 km from the town in a straight line, so the bay and the streets behind it are a walk rather than a drive. Couples, groups of friends and families all fit here, and the west-facing shoreline makes the sunset the natural close to the day.

Palladium Hotel Palmyra is a four-star hotel rather than a large resort, and the listed facilities carry the holiday: a garden, a terrace and a lounge sit alongside bars, a restaurant and a pool bar. It holds a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 918 reviews. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours and the shuttle service with the property before booking, since both matter on a first night.

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 the evening gathers. Palladium Hotel Palmyra stands on Carrer del Doctor Flèming, about 0.8 km from the town in a straight line, close enough to walk in for dinner and far enough to leave the car where it is. The address is a short walk from the centre, with the water and the west-facing light beyond it.

Walking covers the town and the bay. Everything else on the west side needs a car, a bus or a taxi: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 3.8 km away in a straight line, Cala Comte 7.4 km and Cala d'Hort 12 km. Ibiza Airport is 12.6 km and Ibiza Town port 13.4 km. In July and August the coast road fills up and the sunset hour draws crowds to the shore, so morning outings are calmer. In May, June, September and October the same drives take far less time.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to want the quiet end of the listed kit: a balcony, air conditioning, a minibar, a pillow menu and a bathrobe, with a safe for documents. Families can lean on the babysitting service, the game room, table tennis, darts and the entertainment activities, and the garden and terrace give children somewhere to run while adults sit. Twenty-four-hour security is listed, but ask about reception hours, room service timing and the wake-up service before booking.

Car hire and bicycle hire are listed, and a shuttle service runs alongside. Practical details include a launderette and a laundry service, iron and board, hairdryer, toiletries, slippers, housekeeping, a luggage room, lifts, newspapers and multilingual staff. Working guests get a desk, a telephone and a mobile phone network, and the alarm clock and radio cover early starts. Confirm with Palladium Hotel Palmyra whether the fridge and coffee are standard in every room type, which way the balcony faces, and what the smoking area rules are.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport (IBZ) the straight-line distance to Palladium Hotel Palmyra is 12.6 km. A taxi is the shortest option with bags, and the airport sits in Sant Josep, south-west of Ibiza Town. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; the island bus operator publishes the current routes. A hire car makes sense if the west coast coves are the plan, and the hotel lists a car rental service and a shuttle service, so ask what the shuttle covers.

Ibiza Town port, where the Formentera ferries leave for La Savina, is 13.4 km away in a straight line. Sant Antoni de Portmany itself is 0.8 km from Palladium Hotel Palmyra, and the town has some mainland ferry routes in season, which saves the drive to the capital for travellers arriving by sea. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, and seasonal buses thin out, so check the timetable with the operator before a late arrival or an early departure.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Two stretches of coast shape a stay here. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 3.8 km from Palladium Hotel Palmyra in a straight line, Cala Comte is 7.4 km with shallow water and islets offshore, and Cala d'Hort, 12 km away, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet protected as a nature reserve. Cala d'Hort sits inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park. The hotel is not on the beach, so plan a short drive, bus or taxi for sand.

Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia starts 6.5 km away in a straight line; at about 475 m it is the highest point on Ibiza. The sunset at Cala Comte, 7.4 km from the hotel, is the usual finish to a west coast day. Food on the island runs to bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. Eivissa, with the walled Dalt Vila and its 16th-century cathedral, makes a longer outing past the port 13.4 km away.

A day from Palladium Hotel Palmyra

Start early and drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 3.8 km from Palladium Hotel Palmyra in a straight line, while the water is still flat. Move on to Cala Comte, 7.4 km from the hotel, for shallow water and the islets offshore. Lunch back in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.8 km away, then take the quiet hours at the hotel garden or terrace before the afternoon picks up.

In the late afternoon, head for Cala d'Hort, 12 km away in a straight line, where the cove faces Es Vedrà and the natural park. Stay for the light, then return to Sant Antoni and walk the north shore of the bay, the sunset strip, as the sun goes down over the water. If the day has more energy in it, the climb to Sa Talaia begins 6.5 km from Palladium Hotel Palmyra and the summit sits at about 475 m. A taxi is the sensible way back after dark.

Practical tips

Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm Palladium Hotel Palmyra's own opening dates before a winter or early-spring stay, and expect fewer flights and ferries. July and August are the peak, when the west coast roads and the sunset strip are at their busiest. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, appears on the bill; the accommodation charges it per person per night, with the rate set by category and season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the rates.
