About AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine

AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine suits travellers who want an apartment base near Sant Antoni de Portmany rather than a resort that keeps them on site. The building stands on Carrer De Cantabria, 1.7 km from the town in a straight line, so the bay and the west coast road are a short ride away. Couples touring the island by car and families who like their own space fit the two-star format, with a lift, a terrace and a lounge as shared ground.

The stay is straightforward: a two-star apartment block listed with a bar and snack service, a game room, table tennis and a terrace with parasols. It works as a base rather than a scene. Guests heading for the sunset strip at Sant Antoni go out for the evening and return to a lounge and a lift; guests who want a slow morning have the terrace. Anyone on a late flight should confirm reception cover with AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine beforehand.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Sant Antoni de Portmany wraps around a bay that faces due west, and the north shore of that bay is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening. AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine is 1.7 km from the town in a straight line, close enough to walk in for dinner and far enough to sleep away from the late noise. The address sits back from the water on Carrer De Cantabria, with the coast road running south towards the coves.

Walking covers the streets around the address and the approach into Sant Antoni; anything further is easier by car, taxi or the island buses, which increase in summer. Cala Comte is 6.1 km off in a straight line and Cala d'Hort 10.6 km, both on the south-west coast, while Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta sit 4.4 km away. High summer brings heavier traffic on the coast road; May, June, September and October leave more room on it, and the sea stays swimmable.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities listed for AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine point to a simple, sociable block: a bar with snack service, further bars, a lounge, a game room and table tennis, plus a terrace with parasols for the hottest part of the day. Lifts serve the floors and rooms are listed as non smoking. Bicycle hire at the building is handy for the flat run into Sant Antoni and the lanes behind the town.

Multilingual staff and a currency exchange desk cover the practical side of arrival, and a mobile phone network is listed among the services. Couples can treat the terrace and the lounge as their common space; families tend to gravitate to the game room and the table tennis table. Before booking, ask AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine about check-in and check-out times, what each apartment includes, and whether a cot or extra bed can be arranged.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.4 km from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. The simplest arrival is a taxi, or a hire car picked up at the terminal, with the drive heading north-west towards Sant Antoni. Airport buses serve Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for current times and cover the last stretch to Carrer De Cantabria by taxi.

Ibiza Town port is 14 km away in a straight line, and ferries leave from there for Formentera (La Savina) and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Travellers arriving by sea head west by road to Sant Antoni, and in season Sant Antoni has some mainland routes of its own. Sailings and flights thin out between November and April, when seasonal bus lines stop, so confirm the day's connections with the operator and with AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Comte, 6.1 km from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine in a straight line, has shallow clear water with islets offshore and is the usual choice for a sunset on this coast. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.4 km away; Cala d'Hort, 10.6 km off, faces Es Vedrà, a limestone islet that is a nature reserve and cannot be landed on. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 5.6 km away.

Fish and rice define the local menu, with the island fish stew served in two courses as bullit de peix and arròs a banda, and the west coast menus around Sant Antoni bay carry both. Ibiza Town and its port, 14 km from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine in a straight line, add Dalt Vila, the walled upper town on the hill above the harbour, with 16th-century Renaissance walls and the cathedral at the top, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999.

A day from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine

Start with a morning swim on the west coast: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.4 km from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine and Cala Comte 6.1 km, so a bicycle or a car reaches either before the day heats up. Come back through Sant Antoni, 1.7 km away, for coffee by the bay. The afternoon suits Sa Talaia, 5.6 km off, where the climb to about 475 m opens the widest view on the island.

Late afternoon belongs to the south-west edge. Cala d'Hort, 10.6 km from AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine, looks across to Es Vedrà and the Torre des Savinar watchtower, and Cala Comte is the alternative for a swim and the sunset this coast is known for. Drive or take a taxi back to Carrer De Cantabria, then walk the 1.7 km into Sant Antoni for dinner on the bay, or stay on the terrace at AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so ask AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine about its own opening dates before booking outside the main season. Demand on this coast peaks in July and August, when the sunset strip fills. AzuLine Apartamentos Sunshine charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night at a rate that depends on type of accommodation and season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with under-16s exempt; the Govern de les Illes Balears holds the current rates.
