Apartamentos Blanco Sol

About Apartamentos Blanco Sol

Apartamentos Blanco Sol suits travellers who want a quiet base in south-west Ibiza rather than a resort strip. The three-star apartments sit in the small village of Cala Vedella, outside the main resort areas, with Cala d'Hort 3.1 km away and Cala Comte 5.2 km away. Self-catering kitchens, an outdoor pool, a garden and free parking make the property work for couples with a hire car and for families who prefer to set their own timetable and eat in when they choose.

These are self-contained apartments rather than hotel rooms, so the day runs to your own pattern: breakfast on the balcony, lunch at the pool bar, dinner cooked in the kitchenette. The listed facilities include air conditioning, a safe, a television and coffee-making kit, along with cots and family rooms for those travelling with children. It is a three-star, practical kind of stay: comfortable, close to the water and set up for people who would rather eat in some evenings than go out every night.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cala Vedella sits on the south-west coast, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, a small cove village away from the large resort areas. Apartamentos Blanco Sol has its address on Carrer del Picatxo de Tramuntana, in the village itself. Cala d'Hort is 3.1 km away, the cove with the outlook towards Es Vedrà, and Cala Comte is 5.2 km away. Sant Antoni de Portmany, the nearest large town, is 9.6 km away.

Apartamentos Blanco Sol works best with wheels. The village is small enough to explore on foot, but Cala d'Hort at 3.1 km, Cala Comte at 5.2 km and Sant Antoni de Portmany at 9.6 km all call for a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus, and free parking at the apartments makes the first option easy. July and August bring the heaviest demand to these coves, so mornings are the calmest hours. In May, June, September and October the same runs feel quieter and the sea stays warm.

Rooms and facilities

Apartamentos Blanco Sol is listed with kitchens and kitchenettes, so a fridge, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker cover breakfast and simple meals. Air conditioning, a balcony or terrace and a television make the apartments comfortable through the hot middle of the day, and the pool and solarium give an alternative to the coast when the car stays parked. Couples have the pool bar and the garden; families have cots, family rooms and sofa beds to ask about.

Several services are listed but worth confirming when you book: breakfast, lunch and the restaurant, the pool bar's season, the cleaning rhythm and the laundry service. The apartments also list a car rental service, a concierge, luggage storage and a safe, which help on arrival day and on the way home. Ask Apartamentos Blanco Sol directly about check-in and check-out times, cot and sofa-bed arrangements, and whether the outdoor pool is open for your dates; the answers decide how self-sufficient the stay needs to be.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.4 km from Apartamentos Blanco Sol in a straight line, which makes the transfer the shortest leg of most trips. A taxi covers it directly; a hire car collected at the airport does the same and then serves the coves for the rest of the week. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for a route that passes near Cala Vedella before relying on one.

Ibiza Town port is 18.3 km away in a straight line, the arrival point for ferries from Formentera, Palma and the mainland ports. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 9.6 km away and is the natural stop for supplies and for the sunset side of the island. Seasonal buses serve the west coast in summer and thin out in winter, when flights and ferries are fewer too; travellers reaching Apartamentos Blanco Sol outside the season should confirm the current timetable with the island bus operator or arrange a car in advance.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala d'Hort is the closest cove to Apartamentos Blanco Sol at 3.1 km, facing the islet of Es Vedrà, with the hills of the natural park behind it. Cala Comte, 5.2 km away, is known for shallow clear water and the islets offshore, which suits families and swimmers who like to linger. The path to the Torre des Savinar watchtower begins 4.9 km from the apartments, on the high ground above the Es Vedrà reserve, and is best walked early.

Es Vedrà itself, the limestone islet inside its reserve, is 6 km from Apartamentos Blanco Sol by straight line, seen from the cliff paths or from the water on a boat trip. Eating out in this corner of Ibiza means fish and rice: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses. Self-caterers can cook the rest of the week in a kitchenette, and Sant Antoni de Portmany, 9.6 km away, is the nearest place for a wider choice of food shops.

A day from Apartamentos Blanco Sol

Start with the walk out to the Torre des Savinar watchtower, 4.9 km from Apartamentos Blanco Sol; set off early, before the heat, and carry water. Drive back by Cala d'Hort, 3.1 km away, for a swim and a late breakfast with Es Vedrà in view. Spend the middle of the day at the pool or in the shade of the terrace, then head out again in the late afternoon.

Evening belongs to the west. Cala Comte, 5.2 km from Apartamentos Blanco Sol, faces the sunset and is the obvious place to end the day, arriving well before the sun goes down. Es Vedrà, 6 km away across the water, is another evening option from the cliff paths of the natural park. Dinner can be at the apartments or back in Cala Vedella; a car makes the return easy and parking at the property solves the last part.

Practical tips

Timing matters on this coast. Many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so check that Apartamentos Blanco Sol is open for your dates before booking flights; the shoulder months either side are the pleasant ones for walking the cliffs, while July and August bring the heaviest demand of the year. Budget too for the Balearic sustainable tourism tax: the accommodation charges it per person per night, the rate depends on category and season, under-16s are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
