Villa Sa Cuina

About Villa Sa Cuina

Villa Sa Cuina suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibizan countryside, away from the coastal crowds. The villa is not rated and has no guest score, but its facilities include a kitchen, a fireplace and a balcony, making it a practical choice for a self-catering stay. The property is in a rural setting near Sant Rafel de sa Creu, a small village on the main road between Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni de Portmany.

The villa is an apartment or villa, listed with air conditioning, wifi and a washing machine. Pets are allowed, which is useful for guests travelling with a dog or cat. The fireplace adds a cosy touch for cooler evenings in spring or autumn. This is a simple, functional stay for those who prefer to cook their own meals and explore the island by car.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Villa Sa Cuina is located near Sant Rafel de sa Creu, a village in the centre of Ibiza, about 8 km from both Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni de Portmany. The area is rural, with pine woods and farmland, and has a quiet, residential feel. Sant Rafel itself has a few shops and bars, but most services require a short drive. The villa is 8.2 km from Ibiza Town port and 8.1 km from Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town centre.

In high summer, the central location means you are within 10 km of both the west coast beaches and the nightlife of Ibiza Town, but the immediate area stays calm. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is green and the roads are quieter. A car is essential for getting around, as the villa is not within walking distance of a beach or resort.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Sa Cuina is listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a fireplace, a kitchen, a telephone, a washing machine and wifi. The kitchen allows guests to prepare meals independently, and the washing machine is useful for longer stays. The balcony offers outdoor space for breakfast or an evening drink. The fireplace is a listed feature, so it may be usable in cooler weather.

The property is a villa or apartment, so it likely has separate living and sleeping areas, but the exact layout is not given. Guests should confirm the number of bedrooms and bathrooms with the property before booking. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure directly, as no times are listed. Pets are allowed, so families with well-behaved animals can bring them along.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 11.6 km from Villa Sa Cuina in a straight line. By road, the drive takes about 15-20 minutes via the EI-20 and EI-300. A taxi from the airport is the most direct option. A hire car is recommended for the stay, as the villa is rural. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, but you would then need a taxi or a car from the bus stop.

From Ibiza Town port, the villa is 8.2 km straight line, about a 10-15 minute drive. From Sant Antoni de Portmany, it is 7.9 km. The port has ferries to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. In winter, fewer flights and ferries run, and some seasonal bus lines stop. Check the island bus operator for current timetables.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest listed sights are in Ibiza Town: Dalt Vila (8.4 km) and the Puig des Molins necropolis (8.5 km).

Both are within a short drive. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, two coves on the west coast, are 9.7 km away.

Sant Antoni de Portmany is 7.9 km away, with its bay and the sunset strip on the north shore. The west coast has Cala Comte and Cala d'Hort, which faces Es Vedrà, a limestone islet nature reserve.
