Villa Luna

About Villa Luna

Villa Luna is a self-catering villa in the countryside of northern Ibiza, away from the main resort strips. The property is not rated by stars and has no guest score listed. It suits travellers who prefer a private house with outdoor space over a hotel setting. The villa has a garden, a terrace, a patio and an outdoor pool, plus a jacuzzi. Inside there is a kitchen, a living area with a TV and free WiFi, and a washing machine for longer stays. Families are catered for with a cot, high chairs and family rooms. The property also accepts pets, which is useful for those travelling with an animal.

The villa is listed as an apartment or villa, meaning guests have the whole house to themselves. It comes with air conditioning and fans for the hotter months, and a safe for valuables. The kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, oven and refrigerator. A cot and high chairs are listed, so children can be accommodated. The villa is non-smoking throughout. The list of facilities is long, but guests should confirm with the property which items are available at the time of booking, as inventories can change.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

Villa Luna is on a rural road called Venda D'es Codolar, in the countryside of northern Ibiza. The nearest village is not given, but the straight-line distances show it is 7.8 km from Santa Eulària des Riu, 8.3 km from Cala Sant Vicent and 6.9 km from Portinatx. Santa Eulària is a river town with a promenade, a marina and a slower pace in the evenings. The north coast, with coves such as Portinatx and Cala Sant Vicent, is quieter than the south and west, with pine-ringed bays and fewer crowds. The villa is not beachfront; the nearest beaches are a short drive away.

In high summer the north of Ibiza is less frenetic than the south and west, but the roads get busy. A car is needed to reach the coast or the supermarkets, as there is no village within walking distance. In the shoulder months of May, June and September the north is quieter, and the countryside around the villa is peaceful. The property has free car parking on site. The garden and terrace make it a place to spend time outside, and the pool offers a cool alternative to the sea on days when the wind is up.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Luna is a single villa, not a hotel with separate rooms. The facilities listed include family rooms, which suggests the property has multiple sleeping areas. The villa has a kitchen and a kitchenette, so guests can cook their own meals. There is a bath and a bidet in the bathroom, and a hairdryer and toiletries are listed. The property has a cot and high chairs, so it is set up for families with young children. The living area has a TV with pay-per-view channels, and free WiFi is included. The washing machine and iron and board are useful for longer stays.

Guests should confirm the exact layout and number of bedrooms with the property before booking. The villa is self-catering, so there is no restaurant or meal service on site. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and refrigerator. For late arrivals, the kitchen makes it easy to prepare a meal after a long journey. The property has air conditioning and fans, which is helpful in the summer heat. The safe provides a place to store passports and valuables. The villa is non-smoking throughout.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.5 km from Villa Luna as the crow flies, which is about a 25- to 30-minute drive by car or taxi. The airport is in Sant Josep, about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. From Santa Eulària, which is 7.8 km from the villa, a taxi or hire car is needed to reach the villa, as there is no bus stop at the property. A hire car collected at the airport is the most practical option for the whole stay.

Ibiza Town port is 16.3 km from the villa as the crow flies. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Guests arriving by ferry can take a taxi from the port to the villa, or hire a car at the port. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some services run on a reduced timetable. The nearest areas with direct road access are Santa Eulària and the north coast villages. The villa's rural location means a car is essential for getting around.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are Portinatx (6.9 km) and Cala Sant Vicent (8.3 km), both on the north coast. Portinatx is a sheltered bay with a small village, and Cala Sant Vicent is a long sandy cove with shallow water. Both are quieter than the south coast beaches. Santa Eulària des Riu (7.8 km) has a riverfront promenade, a marina and a range of restaurants and shops. The town is a good place to buy groceries or eat out in the evening. The north coast also has coves that are best reached by car, as seasonal bus services are limited.

The Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 9.5 km from the villa, and the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 6 km away. Both markets run in season on specific days: Punta Arabí on Wednesdays, Las Dalias on Saturdays. Check the current days before travelling. For a day on the water, kayaking the north coast calas is 5.4 km from the villa. The north coast has many small coves to explore by kayak. Island food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses. Fresh fish and rice dishes are common on menus.

Return to the villa for a siesta by the pool, then drive 7.8 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for an evening stroll along the promenade. Eat at a restaurant in the town centre.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Villa Luna directly for its exact opening dates. July and August are the busiest months, with higher demand and more traffic. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears before booking.
