About azuLine Mar Amantis II

azuLine Mar Amantis II suits travellers who want a simple, well-placed base on the west coast of Ibiza rather than a resort with a long list of extras. The hotel is a three-star property on the Cala de Bou side of Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.5 km from the town itself. Couples chasing sunsets and families who prefer to be near a town without being in the middle of it both fit comfortably here.

As a three-star hotel, azuLine Mar Amantis II keeps things practical: air conditioning, currency exchange, a laundry service and at least one restaurant are listed, plus a complimentary extra that reception can explain. The mood is a holiday base rather than a destination in itself, which suits guests who plan to spend their days on the coves and their evenings watching the sun drop into the sea off Sant Antoni.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Sant Antoni de Portmany wraps around a bay that faces due west, and the north shore is the sunset strip where people gather in the evening. azuLine Mar Amantis II sits at Cala de Bou, on the road of the same name, 1.5 km from the town centre, so the busy waterfront is a short ride away rather than on the doorstep. The surrounding coast is low-rise holiday country: small beaches, low buildings and a long curve of water.

Walking covers the local shoreline and the 1.5 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany. Everything else is easier by car, taxi or seasonal bus: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.3 km away, Cala Comte 6.4 km, the Sa Talaia climb 5.6 km and Cala d'Hort 10.9 km. In July and August the coast road slows badly in the late afternoon; in late spring and early autumn the same trips take minutes and the water is still warm.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities are the practical sort. Air conditioning matters most in July and August, when nights on this coast stay warm, and it helps light sleepers keep the windows shut. A laundry service earns its place on longer stays and with children working through several outfits a day, while currency exchange saves a walk into town. The restaurant on site means a late arrival can eat without driving anywhere after dark.

Ask before booking what the complimentary item covers, which months the restaurant opens, how quickly the laundry service turns round, and when currency exchange is staffed. Families should check cot and extra-bed arrangements directly with the hotel, and anyone arriving after a late flight should confirm the reception hours. azuLine Mar Amantis II sits on the Carretera de Cala de Bou, so ask about parking and about the easiest way to reach the entrance with luggage.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 12.4 km from azuLine Mar Amantis II in a straight line, out beyond Sant Josep. Covering that with luggage is easiest by taxi or by hire car collected at the airport. Airport buses serve Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more lines in summer, leaving a final 1.5 km hop from the town to Cala de Bou. Check current times with the island bus operator before relying on a late service.

Ibiza Town port, 13.8 km away, handles ferries from Formentera's La Savina as well as from Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the terminal, the run round the bay to azuLine Mar Amantis II is best done by taxi or in a hire car. Anyone coming from Formentera should note the island has no airport, so the crossing to La Savina, then the drive, is the standard route. Winter flights and sailings thin out, so check operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 4.3 km away, reached by road down to the water. Cala Comte, 6.4 km from azuLine Mar Amantis II, has shallow clear water and islets offshore and is the best-known sunset spot on this stretch. Cala d'Hort, 10.9 km away, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that nobody lands on. Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, has its climb 5.6 km from the hotel.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.5 km away, supplies the shops, the harbour and most of the evening activity. Ibiza Town, 13.8 km from azuLine Mar Amantis II, holds Dalt Vila, the walled upper town with 16th-century Renaissance walls and a cathedral at the top, listed by UNESCO in 1999 alongside the posidonia meadows and the island's Phoenician sites. Local cooking runs to a fish stew served in two courses, with rice cooked in the same stock to follow.

A day from azuLine Mar Amantis II

Begin with the 4.3 km drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, where the water is calmest early in the day. Return to azuLine Mar Amantis II for the hottest hours, stay in the air conditioning and eat at the hotel restaurant. In the afternoon, take the 5.6 km run to the start of the Sa Talaia path and walk up Ibiza's highest point, about 475 m, for a view across the whole west coast.

For the evening, the 6.4 km drive to Cala Comte puts you on west-facing rocks for sunset, with islets offshore. Cala d'Hort, 10.9 km from azuLine Mar Amantis II, offers the same light with Es Vedrà in front of you, though the road round takes longer. Finish with the 1.5 km hop into Sant Antoni de Portmany for a late meal, or eat at the hotel and stay put. A hire car gives the most freedom; taxis cover the shorter hops.

Practical tips

Many Ibiza businesses shut roughly from November to April, so confirm with azuLine Mar Amantis II which months it opens before booking a winter or early-spring stay. July and August bring the heaviest demand on Sant Antoni bay, when the sea reaches about 25-26 °C. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the hotel's category and the season, drop for longer stays and exempt children under 16. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
