Villa Can Petrus

About Villa Can Petrus

Villa Can Petrus suits families, groups of friends and couples who want a self-contained base on Ibiza's west coast rather than a serviced hotel. It is a three-star villa with its own outdoor pool, garden and terrace, plus a kitchen fitted with a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and toaster. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.1 km away, so supplies and the waterfront are a short drive. Two households sharing works well here, and so does a family that wants space once the children are asleep.

The stay is self-catering in style: air conditioning, wifi, a fireplace for cooler spring evenings and free parking on site, which matters on an island where many coves are reached by road. The three-star rating points to comfortable and practical rather than polished, and cleaning is part of the package. Cots, high chairs and family rooms are listed, so the villa can absorb a young family without anyone sleeping in the living room. Confirm the details directly with Villa Can Petrus when booking.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Villa Can Petrus sits on Camí De Sa Perdiu in the Sant Antoni de Portmany area, on Ibiza's west coast. The bay faces due west, which is why the north shore has turned into the island's sunset strip: people gather along the waterfront in the evening and drift away soon after dark. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.1 km from the villa, has shops, a marina and bus connections. Cala Comte, 7.5 km off, is the nearest of the well-known west coast beaches.

A car makes the most of the position. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta lie 5.2 km away, Cala Comte 7.5 km and Cala d'Hort 11.1 km, and the path up Sa Talaia starts 5.2 km from the villa. Free parking means the hire car can stay put on slow days. In July and August the coast is at its busiest and the sunset strip is crowded; in May, June, September and October the same drives feel easier and the terraces quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Inside, the listed facilities point to a practical set-up: air conditioning, a kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a TV, a safe, and an iron and board. A fireplace covers the cooler weeks at either end of the season, and a hairdryer is listed for the bathroom. Cots and high chairs can be arranged, and family rooms give parents and children separate space. Couples using Villa Can Petrus as a quiet base will get as much from the garden and terrace.

Late arrivals should agree the key arrangement with Villa Can Petrus before travelling, as arrival outside usual hours needs settling in advance. The same goes for cleaning days during a longer stay, pool towels, and whether the pool is heated. Ask about check-in and check-out times, which the property sets, and about parking if arriving with more than one vehicle. Non-smoking rooms are listed, and a car rental service is listed too.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 11.3 km from Villa Can Petrus in a straight line, the shortest leg of the journey. A taxi covers it directly, and island buses connect the airport with Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.1 km from the villa, with more lines in summer. Collecting a hire car at the airport is the simplest option when staying at a villa with free parking, and it puts the west coast coves within reach on day one.

Arriving by sea means Ibiza Town port, 12.5 km from Villa Can Petrus. That port handles ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.1 km away, has some mainland routes in season. Winter thins both flights and sailings, so check operators before fixing a crossing that depends on a connection, and check the villa's own dates before booking a stay around one.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are on the west coast. Cala Salada, with its smaller neighbour Cala Saladeta, is 5.2 km from Villa Can Petrus, Cala Comte 7.5 km and Cala d'Hort 11.1 km. Cala Comte has shallow, clear water and islets offshore, and its sunset draws a crowd in high season. Cala d'Hort looks across to Es Vedrà, a limestone islet protected as a nature reserve with no landing, inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park.

Walking up Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, begins 5.2 km from Villa Can Petrus. Eivissa, with the walled Dalt Vila on the hill above the port, is the other obvious day out. Food on this coast means fish and rice: bullit de peix, the fish stew served in two courses, and arròs a banda turn up on most menus in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.1 km away, alongside simply grilled fish.

A day from Villa Can Petrus

Begin with a swim in the pool at Villa Can Petrus before the heat builds, then drive 5.2 km to the start of the climb up Sa Talaia and walk to the summit, about 475 m above sea level. Cooler air and the island laid out below reward the effort. Come down for a long swim at Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 5.2 km from the villa, and eat lunch back at the villa or take a picnic.

Spend the afternoon in the garden, then head west for the evening. Cala Comte, 7.5 km away, is where many people watch the sun go down; Cala d'Hort, 11.1 km off, faces Es Vedrà and is quieter. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.1 km from Villa Can Petrus, has the widest choice for supper and a waterfront to walk afterwards. Driving back is short, and parking at the villa is free.

Practical tips

Villa Can Petrus is best used between roughly May and October, when the west coast is fully open; much of the island's tourism business closes from about November to April, so confirm the villa's own dates before booking flights. July and August bring the crowds. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that vary by season and property type and exemptions for children under 16. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
