Villa Can Vicent Tixedo

About Villa Can Vicent Tixedo

Villa Can Vicent Tixedo suits travellers who want a quiet, car-based base in the Ibizan countryside rather than a resort strip. It stands outside Sant Antoni de Portmany, within that municipality, so the west coast coves and the island capital are both within reach by road. Couples, small families and friends travelling together tend to fit this sort of three-star villa stay best, because the setting is rural and the day-to-day rhythm depends on having a vehicle.

The property is listed as an apartment or villa rather than a hotel, graded three stars, which points to a self-contained style of holiday: your own space, your own timetable, and a listed pool and free parking. Guests who prefer independence over round-the-clock service usually settle in well. Arrival times, key collection and what is supplied inside the accommodation are worth confirming with Villa Can Vicent Tixedo before you book.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

The address is Cami de S'Olivera, in the countryside of Sant Antoni de Portmany, one of Ibiza's five municipalities. This is the west of the island, where the coast faces due west and the bay at Sant Antoni has a long sunset tradition along its northern shore. There are no large resort complexes around the property, so evenings stay quiet. The trade-off is that everything, from a shop to a beach, involves a short drive.

Distances from Villa Can Vicent Tixedo are straight line: Sant Antoni de Portmany is 4.3 km away, Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 10.3 km, Ibiza Town port 10.5 km and Talamanca 10.7 km. Nothing here is comfortably walkable, so plan on a hire car, a taxi or the island buses for every outing. In July and August that means leaving early for the beaches; in May, June, September and October the same drives are shorter, and the roads feel far less pressed.

Rooms and facilities

Three facilities are listed for Villa Can Vicent Tixedo: free car parking, a swimming pool and wheelchair accessibility. For couples, the pool is the obvious draw after a hot morning out, and the parking removes the daily hunt for a space in Sant Antoni de Portmany. For families, a pool on the property makes the middle of the day manageable with small children. Wheelchair accessibility is listed too; ask the property which parts of the accommodation and grounds it covers.

Because the accommodation is described as an apartment or villa rather than a hotel, expect to look after yourself more than at a staffed property. Confirm with Villa Can Vicent Tixedo what is included in practice: cooking equipment, linen, cleaning arrangements, air conditioning and whether the pool is shared with other guests or private to the villa. Check-in and check-out times, and how keys are handed over, are also worth settling in advance, especially for an evening arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 11.7 km from Villa Can Vicent Tixedo in straight-line terms, south-west of Ibiza Town in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. The simplest arrival is a taxi or a hire car collected at the terminal, which puts you at the door without a change. Airport buses run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; from a stop you would still need a taxi for the last stretch.

From Ibiza Town port, 10.5 km away, the same logic applies: a taxi, a hire car or a bus towards Sant Antoni de Portmany, then a short transfer to the property. Anyone arriving off the Formentera ferry at the port can be at Villa Can Vicent Tixedo quickly by road. Winter brings fewer flights and thinner ferry timetables, so check with the operators when travelling outside the main season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The closest listed beaches are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 6.3 km away on the west coast. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.3 km off, covers everyday needs and its bay holds the island's western sunset shoreline. Talamanca, 10.7 km away, is the calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, a sensible alternative when the west coast turns breezy. None of the three is walkable from the property, so keep the car handy.

History sits close as well. The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 10.4 km away, and Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Eivissa with its 16th-century Renaissance walls and cathedral, is 10.3 km; both belong to the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. For island cooking, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, with Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.3 km away, the nearest place to eat out.

A day from Villa Can Vicent Tixedo

Begin with the climb to Sa Talaia, 8.1 km away in straight-line terms, reaching the island's highest point at about 475 m before the day heats up. Drive back down and continue to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 6.3 km from Villa Can Vicent Tixedo, for a swim and a slow late morning. Carry water and lunch supplies, and plan to be back at the property's pool in the early afternoon.

In the afternoon, drive the 10.4 km to the Puig des Molins necropolis, then continue into Dalt Vila, 10.3 km from the property, for the walls, the cathedral and the view down over the port. Finish in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.3 km away, for a fish dinner and the western sky, then take the short last drive home. A hire car keeps this loop simple; taxis work too, though the return is best arranged in advance.

Practical tips

Ibiza's season shapes a stay at Villa Can Vicent Tixedo: many hotels, beach bars, boat trips, seasonal buses and restaurants close roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's own opening dates before booking, and expect the biggest crowds in July and August. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the type and category of the property and the season, fall in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
