Shavasana Villa

About Shavasana Villa

Shavasana Villa suits travellers who want a quiet, self-contained base in the Ibizan countryside, away from the busiest resort strips. The villa is an apartment or villa, not rated with stars, and no guest score is listed. It offers a garden, an outdoor pool and a terrace, so the stay is about outdoor living and privacy rather than hotel services.

The property sits inland, roughly midway between Sant Antoni de Portmany and the surrounding farmland. That position suits couples and families who plan to hire a car and explore the west of the island. The listed facilities include free parking, free WiFi, a lounge and a safe, which makes the villa a practical choice for a week or longer. The lack of a beachfront means you travel a few kilometres to the coast.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Shavasana Villa is in a rural area outside the main resort zones, about 4.2 km in a straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany. Sant Antoni is the island's west-coast town, known for its bay, the sunset views along the north shore and a lively promenade. The villa's setting is quiet, with fields and low hills around, so you need a car or taxi to reach most services, restaurants and beaches.

Ibiza Town is about 11 km away in a straight line, and the airport is 12.3 km away. In high summer, the roads between the villa and the coast can be busy, especially in the late afternoon. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is calmer and the town of Sant Antoni stays open, while many seasonal businesses close roughly from November to April. Check the villa's opening dates before booking.

Rooms and facilities

The villa lists a range of facilities that suit a self-catering stay. There is an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace, plus a lounge and free WiFi. For families, a babysitting service is listed, and there is a safe and luggage storage. The property also lists bicycle hire, diving and horse riding as nearby or arranged activities, so you can plan excursions without leaving the site.

Guests arriving late should confirm check-in arrangements with the property, as the villa is in a rural location and the nearest town is a few kilometres away. The listed facilities include laundry and dry cleaning services, which is useful for longer stays. None of the room details, such as the number of bedrooms or the exact layout, are given, so contact Shavasana Villa directly to confirm what is included in your booking.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport (IBZ), Shavasana Villa is 12.3 km away in a straight line. A taxi is the most direct option, and the journey takes about 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car is recommended for this rural location, as it gives you the freedom to reach the beaches and towns. The airport has bus links to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, but a bus will not take you to the villa's door.

From the port of Ibiza Town, the villa is about 11 km away. If you arrive by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia, you can take a taxi or pick up a hire car at the port. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 4.2 km away, so it is the nearest town for supplies and evening outings. Seasonal buses run from Sant Antoni to other parts of the island in summer, but in winter services are fewer, and flights and ferries are also reduced.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches to Shavasana Villa are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 6 km away in a straight line. These coves are on the west coast, known for clear water and pine-covered slopes. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.2 km away, has a long bay with a promenade, restaurants and boat trips. The town is also the starting point for the sunset strip along its north shore.

Further afield, Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 8.5 km away and offers views over the island. The Puig des Molins necropolis, a Phoenician-Punic burial site and part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing, is 10.9 km away. The island's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. You will find these in Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, but no restaurants are named here.

A day from Shavasana Villa

Start the day at Shavasana Villa with breakfast on the terrace or by the pool. Then drive the short distance to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 6 km away, for a morning swim in clear water. The coves are popular, so arrive early in summer. After a few hours, head back towards Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.2 km away, for lunch in the town or a walk along the bay.

In the afternoon, drive to Sa Talaia, 8.5 km away, and climb to the summit for views across the island and the sea. On the way back, stop at the Puig des Molins necropolis, 10.9 km from the villa, to see the ancient burial ground. In the evening, return to Sant Antoni for dinner, or stay at the villa and cook. The drive back to the countryside is short, and the pool is a good way to end the day.
