The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only

About The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only

The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only is an adults-only hotel in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on Ibiza's west coast. Couples and friends travelling without children fit the place best, since entry is limited to over-18s and the atmosphere stays calm rather than family-focused. The address is Carrer D'antoni Riquer 23, with the town 0.3 km away, so an evening on the bay needs only a short walk home at the end.

A three-star property with a guest score of 4.8/5 from 347 reviews, it works as a base rather than a resort. An outdoor pool, a terrace and a lounge give places to sit between outings, and a bar and restaurant keep food and drink on site. The appeal is the position on the edge of Sant Antoni plus a pool to return to after a morning at the coves.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

The bay at Sant Antoni de Portmany opens to the west, with the sunset strip on its northern shore. The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only sits 0.3 km from the town, which keeps the harbour, the bus stands and the evening crowds within a walk. The town stays open year-round, unlike many seasonal businesses elsewhere on the island, so winter visitors still find a working centre here.

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.9 km away and Cala Comte 6.9 km, so both are short hops by bus, taxi or hire car rather than walks with a towel and umbrella. Cala d'Hort, 12.2 km off, and the climb to Sa Talaia, 7.2 km, need a car or a seasonal bus. Traffic thickens in peak weeks; shoulder-month travel in May, June, September and October suits anyone here for walking.

Rooms and facilities

Late arrivals can count on the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage, both listed, and lifts serve the floors. Couples get a lounge, a terrace and an outdoor pool, with a bar and a restaurant covering meals and drinks without leaving the building. Bicycle hire and diving are listed among the facilities, which suits anyone building days around Cala Salada or the water off the west coast.

Because the hotel is adults only, families with children need a different base; for couples, wedding services and concierge appear in the list. Ask the property to confirm which rooms have a safe, how car parking and self parking operate, and what wheelchair access covers, since lifts and accessible facilities are listed but layouts differ. A smoking area is listed for anyone who wants one.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.6 km from The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis cover it directly with luggage; the island bus network also serves the airport and Sant Antoni, with more lines in summer, and the island bus operator publishes current times. A hire car helps if the plan includes the south or west coves.

Ibiza Town port, 14.4 km away, has ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sailings are frequent in season and thinner in winter; check the operators. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.3 km from the hotel, also has some mainland routes in season. Winter flights are fewer too, and the transfer from port to west coast takes longer in summer traffic with bags.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.9 km south, are the closest swims, reached by road and easier by car or bus than on foot in the heat. Cala Comte, 6.9 km away, is the sunset spot, with shallow water and islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 12.2 km off, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that nobody lands on, inside a protected natural park.

Sa Talaia, Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, is 7.2 km away in a straight line, with a road and a path to the top. West coast menus lean on fish and rice: look for arròs a banda and the two-course fish stew, bullit de peix, with portions built for sharing. Inland, Sant Josep de sa Talaia is a quieter place for lunch away from the bay.

A day from The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only

Start with the 0.3 km walk into Sant Antoni for coffee and the bus, then head south to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.9 km away, before the car park fills in high summer. Back at The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only, the outdoor pool and terrace cover the hot middle of the day, and the 24-hour front desk makes a late return simple.

Late afternoon, take a car or taxi 6.9 km to Cala Comte for the sunset over the islets, or drive 7.2 km to Sa Talaia earlier for the view across the island. Dinner back near the bay, 0.3 km from The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only, ends the day on foot. Cala d'Hort, 12.2 km off, fills a whole morning with the Es Vedrà view.

Practical tips

The island's season shapes any stay here: many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, so confirm opening dates with The Purple Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only before booking winter flights. Demand peaks around July and August, when west coast roads are busiest. A sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the amount varies with accommodation type and season, falls in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
