Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella

About Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella

Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella suits families and couples who want a base on Ibiza's quiet south-west coast and a kitchen to fall back on. The apartments have kitchenettes, so self-catering breakfasts and simple lunches are easy, and the outdoor pool gives children somewhere to swim without a drive. Cala d'Hort is 2.8 km away and Sant Antoni de Portmany 10 km, so the aparthotel sits between a small cove village and the island's main western town.

Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella is a three-star aparthotel with a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 570 reviews. It is a practical, self-contained kind of stay: apartments with kitchens, an outdoor pool and pool bar, a garden and terrace, and a restaurant for the evenings when cooking loses its appeal. The address is Playa de Cala Vadella, in the Sant Josep de sa Talaia municipality on Ibiza's western side, close to the coves of the south-west.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cala Vedella is a small cove on Ibiza's western coast, in the Sant Josep de sa Talaia municipality, and it lies outside the island's main resort areas. The setting is low-key: a sheltered bay, low buildings and pine slopes behind. Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella takes its name from the cove and works as a base for this quieter corner, with Cala d'Hort and its view of Es Vedrà 2.8 km away and Sant Antoni de Portmany 10 km north.

Within the cove, the beach, a handful of shops and places to eat are reachable on foot from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella. Anything further needs wheels: Cala d'Hort is 2.8 km off, Cala Comte 5.4 km, Sant Antoni de Portmany 10 km and Ibiza Town port 18.6 km. Buses along the west coast are busiest in summer and thin out in winter, so a hire car, which the aparthotel can arrange, gives the most freedom.

Rooms and facilities

Every apartment at Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella is listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster and coffee-making facilities, which makes the place work for families who want breakfast at their own pace. Balconies, air conditioning and a fan appear on the list too, along with a TV, a safe, a bath and a hairdryer. Family rooms, cots and a babysitting service are offered, and lifts help with luggage and pushchairs.

Beyond the apartment, Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella lists an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a garden, a terrace, a lounge and a restaurant that covers buffet, lunch and bar snacks. Table tennis, massage and a small market are on the list as well. Room service, laundry, luggage storage, free wifi and 24-hour security handle the practical side. Confirm check-in and check-out times with the aparthotel, and ask whether a cot and a balcony come with the apartment you book.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.6 km from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella in a straight line, one of the shorter transfers on the island. Taxis wait outside arrivals and a hire car collected at the airport makes the coves easy. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni de Portmany and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; the final stretch to Cala Vedella usually means a change. Check current times with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port is 18.6 km from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella. Ferries from Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia arrive there, and the road west passes Sant Antoni de Portmany, 10 km from the aparthotel. Guests arriving from Sant Antoni have the shortest run. Sailings and flights thin out in winter, so leave room around a stay and confirm times with the ferry operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala d'Hort is 2.8 km from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella, a cove that faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that sits inside a nature reserve and takes no visitors ashore. Cala Comte, 5.4 km off, has shallow clear water and islets offshore. The Torre des Savinar walk begins 4.5 km away and looks across to Es Vedrà at 5.7 km. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 10 km north, is the nearest town.

Fish and rice define the local cooking. The island's signature is a fish stew served in two courses, the fish first and then the rice cooked in the broth; bullit de peix is the stew and arròs a banda the rice dish. Around Cala Vedella the choice is small; Sant Antoni de Portmany, 10 km away, offers more. Self-caterers at Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella can cook in the apartment kitchenette, which keeps family meals simple.

A day from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella

Start early and make the 2.8 km to Cala d'Hort before the day heats up, swim in the cove and look across at Es Vedrà, the islet about 380 m high. Back at Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella, the outdoor pool and garden fill the middle hours. Lunch comes from the apartment kitchenette or from the aparthotel's restaurant, which lists lunch. Table tennis and the lounge see out the hottest part of the afternoon.

Late afternoon suits the walk to the Torre des Savinar, 4.5 km from Aparthotel Puerto Cala Vadella, where the cliff gives a long view to Es Vedrà at 5.7 km. Sunset works well at Cala Comte, 5.4 km away, with shallow water and islets offshore. Dinner at the aparthotel's restaurant, or a drive of 10 km to Sant Antoni de Portmany, ends the day; a hire car makes the return easy after dark.
