Hotel Alla Dins

About Hotel Alla Dins

Hotel Alla Dins suits travellers who want the north of Ibiza rather than the busy south. The three-star hotel is in the Urbanización Alla Dins, with the bay of Cala Sant Vicent about 1 km away in a straight line. Couples planning a morning swim and families who prefer a quiet base away from the big resorts both fit here, and the northern coves around Portinatx, 6.6 km off, are within easy reach by car.

Hotel Alla Dins is a three-star hotel rather than a resort, and the stay is built around the coast and the green hills behind it. The facilities are practical rather than showy: parking, a garage, connecting rooms for families and step-free access for wheelchair users. Days here are more about the water, the markets and the north coast tracks than poolside entertainment, so the hotel works best for travellers who plan to be out and about.

Location: Cala Sant Vicent

Cala Sant Vicent is a deep sandy bay on Ibiza's north coast, closed in by green hills and quieter than the beaches around Sant Antoni and Playa d'en Bossa. Hotel Alla Dins takes its address from the Urbanización Alla Dins, with the bay itself about 1 km away in a straight line. Portinatx is 6.6 km off and Es Canar 8.9 km, so the whole northern and eastern coast is easy to explore from here.

The bay is close enough to walk to for a swim, but most other trips need wheels: Ibiza Town port is 22.5 km from Hotel Alla Dins in a straight line and Ibiza Airport 29.3 km. Seasonal buses help in summer; a car or a taxi fills the gaps. In July and August the north fills up but stays calmer than the south, while May, June, September and October bring emptier coves and easier roads.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities at Hotel Alla Dins are the sort that matter on a coast holiday. A garage and a car park suit anyone who hires a car to reach the coves around Portinatx and Es Canar, and connecting rooms let families spread out without splitting across different floors. Wheelchair access is listed too, so ask which rooms and entrances are step-free. Pets are not allowed at the hotel, so travelling with an animal is not an option here.

Room types, bed configurations and whether breakfast is served are worth confirming with Hotel Alla Dins before booking, together with check-in and check-out times. Ask whether the connecting rooms open directly into each other and whether the garage has a height limit that would rule out a larger car. Anyone arriving on a late flight should tell the hotel in advance so the arrival is expected.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 29.3 km from Hotel Alla Dins in a straight line, in Sant Josep on the south-west of the island. The drive crosses Ibiza to the north coast, and a taxi, or a hire car picked up at arrivals, is the most direct way. Airport buses serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches; for Cala Sant Vicent expect a connection or a taxi for the last stretch.

Ibiza Town port, 22.5 km away in a straight line, is where ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma and the mainland cities. The road north from the port crosses the island, with Cala Sant Vicent 1 km from the hotel and Portinatx 6.6 km. Summer brings more buses and boats; in winter flights and ferries are fewer, so check the island bus operator and the ferry operators before fixing dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Sant Vicent, a deep sandy bay closed in by green hills, is the nearest swim at about 1 km from Hotel Alla Dins in a straight line. Portinatx, 6.6 km off, is a village with several small coves nearby, and Es Canar, 8.9 km away, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Kayak launching points on the north coast calas are 2.8 km from the hotel.

Food around Hotel Alla Dins follows the island pattern: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the Ibizan fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. The bay itself is small, so the wider choice lies along the coast towards Portinatx and Es Canar, 6.6 km and 8.9 km away respectively, or near Sant Carles de Peralta, 7.5 km off, where the Las Dalias market sits.

A day from Hotel Alla Dins

Begin with the walk down to Cala Sant Vicent, about 1 km from Hotel Alla Dins, for a swim before the bay fills. Mid-morning, drive the 2.8 km to the kayak launching points on the north coast calas, then carry on to Portinatx, 6.6 km away, for a second cove and a late lunch. The distances between coves are short, so one loop covers a full morning.

Late afternoon suits the markets: Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 7.5 km from Hotel Alla Dins and the Punta Arabí market at Es Canar is 8.9 km away. Market days change through the season, so check current days with the hotel before setting out. The return to Cala Sant Vicent is a short drive, and the evening can end at the bay or at Portinatx, 6.6 km off, before dark.

Practical tips

Hotel Alla Dins is best booked for the middle seasons. Outside the main months the island winds down: many beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses stop roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's own opening dates before planning a winter stay. July and August bring the heaviest demand on this coast. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, usually called the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type and category of the property and the season, drops in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current rates.
