Villa Evie

About Villa Evie

Villa Evie is an independent self-catering villa on the west coast of Ibiza, just over a kilometre from Sant Antoni de Portmany. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with their own pool and garden, and the freedom to cook and come and go without relying on on-site services. The villa is not rated and has no guest score, so you book on the strength of the facilities listed and the location.

The property is a single villa, not part of a resort or complex. It has an outdoor pool, a terrace and a patio, plus a full kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave and refrigerator. Free car parking and free wifi are included. Pets are allowed, which makes it a practical choice for guests travelling with a dog or cat. The villa is about 1.2 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany, the nearest town.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany sits on a wide bay that faces due west. The north shore of the bay is known as the sunset strip, a line of bars and restaurants where people gather in the evening to watch the sun drop into the sea. The town itself has a long promenade, a marina, shops, supermarkets and a bus station. Villa Evie is on Camino Sa Vorera, a residential road set back from the coast. The straight-line distance to Sant Antoni centre is 1.2 km, so the town is walkable if you are fit, though the road may be quiet and unlit at night. A car makes the trip easier, especially for carrying shopping.

In July and August the area is busy: Sant Antoni fills with visitors, the sunset strip is crowded and parking near the front can be tight. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the pace is slower, the streets are quieter and the weather is still warm enough for the pool. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so outside the main season you should check that Villa Evie is open and that shops and restaurants in Sant Antoni are running. The villa's own pool and terrace mean you are not dependent on seasonal beach clubs.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Evie is a single villa with a kitchen, a bathroom with a bath, a living area and outdoor space. The listed facilities include air conditioning, a hairdryer, an iron and board, a washing machine, a safe and a TV. The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker, so you can cook full meals. There is free wifi and internet access throughout. The villa is not described as having separate bedrooms, so you should confirm the sleeping layout with the property before booking, especially if you are a family or a group of adults who need separate rooms.

The outdoor area has a private pool, a terrace and a patio with garden. There is free car parking on site. The villa also lists a shuttle service and car rental service, which suggests the owner or a local partner can arrange transport; check the details when you book. Pets are allowed, but you should confirm any conditions or fees with the property in advance. For late arrivals, the key collection process should be confirmed directly, as there is no reception desk.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 13.7 km straight line from Villa Evie. A taxi from the airport to the villa takes about 20-25 minutes by road, depending on traffic. A hire car gives you the most flexibility, especially for reaching the coves and supermarkets. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni de Portmany (more lines in summer), and from Sant Antoni bus station the villa is about 1.2 km away, a 15-20 minute walk or a short taxi ride. If you arrive by ferry at Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance to the villa is about 13.8 km, similar to the airport journey.

Sant Antoni de Portmany itself has a bus station with services to Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches in summer. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer and bus services are reduced. If you are arriving outside the main season, check the schedules with the island bus operator and the ferry companies. A hire car collected at the airport or the port is the most reliable way to reach Villa Evie and to explore the west coast.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches to Villa Evie are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 2.9 km straight line. These are two small coves with clear water, set in a pine-covered valley north of Sant Antoni. Cala Comte, about 8.3 km straight line, is a west-facing beach with shallow clear water and views of the islets offshore; it is a popular spot for watching the sunset. The straight-line distances mean the drives are short, but the roads can be narrow and busy in summer. Closer to the villa, the Sant Antoni bay has a long sandy beach and a promenade.

For a walk with a view, you can climb Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, about 8 km straight line from the villa. The summit gives a panorama of the whole island. In the other direction, Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are about 13.5 km straight line, a 20-minute drive. The old town's Renaissance walls and cathedral are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. For food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, at restaurants in Sant Antoni or the nearby coves.

A day from Villa Evie

Start the morning at Villa Evie with coffee on the terrace. Drive the short distance to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 2.9 km straight line, for a swim before the crowds arrive. The coves are small and fill up quickly in July and August, so an early start is best. After the beach, drive back to Sant Antoni de Portmany, about 1.2 km away, to buy fresh food from the market or supermarket for lunch at the villa. The afternoon can be spent by the private pool or on the patio with a book.

In the late afternoon, drive to Cala Comte, about 8.3 km straight line, for a swim in the shallow clear water and to watch the sunset from the rocks or the sand. After dark, return to Sant Antoni for an evening walk along the promenade or a meal at one of the restaurants in the town centre. The villa's own terrace is also a quiet option for a late dinner if you prefer to cook. The drive back to the villa from the town is short.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Villa Evie that the property is open and that shops and restaurants in Sant Antoni are running during your travel dates. July and August are the peak months: book well ahead, expect crowds at the beaches and allow extra time for driving. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
