About The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only

The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only is a two-star, adults-only hotel at Carrer Ramón I Cajal 2 in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on Ibiza's west coast. It holds a guest score of 4.1/5 from 624 reviews. The name sets the tone: no children, a short walk to the bay, and a base for couples and friends who want the sunset side of the island and a straightforward place to sleep.

This is a simple two-star stay rather than a resort, and the listed facilities lean towards practical comfort: air conditioning, a safe, a refrigerator, a TV and a balcony in the room, plus bars, a snack service and a restaurant in the building. Late arrivals can use the 24-hour front desk. Couples usually take it as a place to sleep between beach days and evenings in town.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany sits on a bay that faces due west, and the hotel is 0.1 km from the town, effectively in the centre of it. The north shore is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening to watch the sun drop into the sea. The streets around the port, the shops and the cafés are all on foot from the door, and the address is a town street rather than a coastal road.

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta lie 3.1 km from the hotel, Cala Comte 7.2 km and Cala d'Hort 12.4 km, and each cove is easier by car or a short taxi ride than on foot. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7.1 km away in a straight line. High summer fills the town centre and the coast roads; May, June, September and October are calmer, with the sea around 18-19 °C in May and 23-25 °C in September.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a safe, a refrigerator, a TV, a telephone, a desk, a hairdryer and toiletries, and there are lifts and non-smoking rooms. Couples get the essentials for a week of beach and town; friends sharing will want to confirm bed configuration when booking. Housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage and a wake-up call are all listed.

Worth confirming with the property before arrival: the check-in and check-out times, whether a particular rate includes a balcony or a sea-facing side, and how the bars and snack service run outside high season. Guests arriving late should say so, because the 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security are listed but a late arrival is easier to plan in advance. A car rental service is listed too.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.3 km from The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only in a straight line, a short transfer by taxi or a hire car collected on arrival. Buses link the airport with Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more lines in summer, and the hotel sits 0.1 km from the town, so the last stretch is walkable. Allow extra time in high summer, when the coast road into Sant Antoni carries day-trip and sunset traffic.

From Ibiza Town port, 14 km away, the road across the island leads to Sant Antoni; the port handles ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and Sant Antoni has some mainland routes in season. A Formentera day trip starts from Ibiza Town rather than from this side of the island. Winter brings fewer flights and fewer sailings, so check timetables with the operators before booking a short break here.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta at 3.1 km, both reached by road rather than on foot. Cala Comte, 7.2 km away, has shallow water and islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 12.4 km, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that sits in a nature reserve and cannot be landed on. Sa Talaia, at about 475 m the highest point on Ibiza, is 7.1 km away.

Eating on this coast means fish and rice: bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the island dishes, the fish stew served in two courses. Sant Antoni has the widest choice within walking distance of the hotel; the coves have seasonal beach places that close roughly from November to April. Ask at the front desk which places are open if you travel outside the main months.

A day from The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only

Start early with the climb to Sa Talaia, 7.1 km away, before the heat builds; the summit at about 475 m opens up the whole west coast. Come down and drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 3.1 km from the hotel, for a morning swim, or push on to Cala Comte, 7.2 km, where the water is shallow and clear. Lunch back in Sant Antoni, 0.1 km away, is the easy option.

In the afternoon, take the road to Cala d'Hort, 12.4 km, for the view of Es Vedrà and a swim, then return to Sant Antoni for the evening. The bay faces due west, so the sunset is the main event: walk to the north shore, the sunset strip, and watch it from the shore. Dinner in town follows, and the hotel is 0.1 km from the centre for the walk back.

Practical tips

From roughly November to April many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza shut down, so confirm opening dates with The Red Hotel by Ibiza Feeling Adults only before booking a winter stay; Sant Antoni de Portmany itself stays open all year. July and August bring the biggest crowds. The sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that vary with category and season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with under-16s exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
