About Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm

Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm suits travellers who want the Ibiza countryside as a base rather than a resort strip. The three-star rural hotel stands on the Venda de Rubió, outside the main resort areas, with Santa Eulària des Riu 11.3 km away and Portinatx 11.6 km to the north. Couples who plan to drive to a different cove each day, and families who want space and a pool at the end of the afternoon, fit the pattern here.

It is an agroturismo, the rural-tourism category, rated three stars. A pool bar is listed, alongside an outdoor pool, gardens and terraces, so the property works as somewhere to return to after a day out. The listed guest score is 4.8 out of 5 from 69 reviews. Evening meals are best planned around Santa Eulària des Riu, 11.3 km away, or Sant Antoni de Portmany, 12 km away, where the choice is wider.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

The hotel sits in open countryside on the Venda de Rubió, away from the resort strips that line much of the Ibiza coast. Santa Eulària des Riu, a river town with a promenade and a marina, is 11.3 km away; Portinatx, one of the quieter pine-ringed bays in the north, is 11.6 km; Sant Antoni de Portmany, with its west-facing bay, is 12 km. The position puts you between the east coast and the northern coves rather than inside any one of them.

None of the listed distances is a realistic walk for most people, so a hire car is the practical way to reach the coast, with taxis saved for evenings. Traffic builds on the roads around the property in July and August, and the 11.3 km to Santa Eulària des Riu can take longer than the distance suggests then. From late spring and into October the same run is quick, and the northern calas are easier to reach.

Rooms and facilities

Guest rooms at Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm are listed with air conditioning, a bath, bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, a minibar, a safe and a television. Non-smoking rooms are available, and the housekeeping and laundry services help on longer stays. Couples tend to take the quiet and the pool; families should ask which rooms sleep children, because rural buildings rarely follow a standard plan.

Outside, the listed facilities include a garden, a terrace, a patio, a solarium, a jacuzzi, an outdoor pool and a pool bar, plus a games room for the middle of the day. Bike rental, canoe, diving, surf and horse riding appear on the list, so confirm with the property how each is arranged and whether it needs booking ahead. Free car parking, luggage storage and wifi are listed; ask about the check-in window when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 18.7 km away in a straight line, in Sant Josep, west of Ibiza Town. The practical options are a taxi from the arrivals rank or a hire car collected at the airport, which also covers the days out that make this address work. Island buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni de Portmany and Santa Eulària des Riu, with more lines in summer; from Santa Eulària des Riu, 11.3 km from the hotel, the final leg is best finished by taxi.

Ibiza Town port is 14.1 km away, the departure point for ferries to La Savina on Formentera, and for routes to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 12 km off, has some mainland sailings in season. Flights and ferries thin out in winter, so check times before fixing dates at Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm, and ask the property about its own opening months.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 12 km from the door, and the north coast calas used for kayaking are around the same distance. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 11.7 km off, with current market days worth checking with the hotel or the island council before setting out. Portinatx, a pine-ringed bay in the north, is 11.6 km away and makes an easy half day.

Eating out means driving: Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany, 11.3 km and 12 km from Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm, hold the widest choice. Look for the island fish cooking, bullit de peix served in two courses with rice, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. The pool bar covers daytime at the hotel; evenings are better built around one town than split between two.

A day from Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm

Start slowly around the pool and garden at Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm, then drive the 12 km to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta for a swim before the afternoon fills up. Alternatively take the kayak option on the north coast calas, roughly 12 km away, and see the cliffs from the water. Lunch fits either plan, and the pool bar is there on the return.

In the afternoon, head for Las Dalias market at Sant Carles, 11.7 km from the hotel, checking the current market days first. From there the run back towards Santa Eulària des Riu is 11.3 km, a sensible end to the day with its promenade, marina and late dinner. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 12 km away, is the alternative for a west-facing sunset before the drive home.

Practical tips

The countryside around Agroturismo Sa Vinya d'en Palerm is quietest outside July and August, the peak weeks, and several hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so check whether the property stays open through the winter. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night and collected by the hotel; rates vary with the type of stay and the season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Confirm current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
