Villa Kumharas

About Villa Kumharas

Villa Kumharas is a self-catering villa in the countryside of western Ibiza, near Sant Antoni de Portmany. It suits travellers who want a private base with a kitchen, an outdoor pool and a garden, away from the resort crowds. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed.

The villa is a standalone unit with its own pool and outdoor space. It is equipped for independent stays: a full kitchen, a washing machine and free WiFi are included. Pets are allowed, which makes it an option for those travelling with a dog or cat.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Villa Kumharas is in the rural area of Ses Funtanelles, about 4.6 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany. Sant Antoni is the main west-coast town, with a long bay, a promenade, restaurants and the sunset strip on its north shore. The villa is not in a village; the nearest services are in Sant Antoni, reachable by car or taxi in about ten minutes.

The area is quiet and surrounded by pine and farmland. In high summer the roads to Sant Antoni and the west-coast beaches can be busy, but the villa itself is removed from the noise. In the shoulder months of May, June and September the pace is slower, and the countryside is greener. A car is essential for shopping and exploring.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with a kitchen equipped with an oven, a microwave, a toaster, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a coffee maker. Air conditioning and a fan are provided, along with a washing machine, an iron and board, and a hairdryer. There is a fireplace for cooler evenings. The living area has a TV, a DVD player and a radio.

The property has a bath and a safe. Free WiFi and internet access are listed. Families with children can use the outdoor pool and garden. Guests arriving late should confirm the check-in procedure with the property, as there is no reception desk. Pets are allowed; check any conditions with the owner.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 17.7 km straight line from Villa Kumharas. A taxi takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car gives the most flexibility for reaching the villa and for exploring the island. Buses from the airport run to Sant Antoni, but from there you would need a taxi to the villa.

Ibiza Town port is 17.1 km straight line away; ferries from the mainland and Formentera arrive there. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 4.6 km straight line, so a short taxi ride from the town. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April; check the schedules with the operators.

A day from Villa Kumharas

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check the villa's opening dates with the owner. July and August are the peak months with the hottest weather and the busiest roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of property and is reduced for longer stays. Children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
