About Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments

Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments suits travellers who want a self-contained base on Ibiza's west coast, away from the busiest resorts. The property is a collection of apartments with kitchen or kitchenette facilities, a saltwater outdoor pool and a garden with a picnic area. It is not rated with stars and has no on-site restaurant, so guests cook for themselves or drive to nearby eateries.

The stay is apartment-style, with a lounge, terrace or balcony, and a patio in some units. Facilities listed include air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and a dishwasher. The property also offers express check-in, luggage storage, a concierge service and laundry service. Guests should confirm the exact apartment layout and any extra charges with the hotel before arrival.

Location: Cala Comte

Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments is on the Carretera De Cala Conta, in the countryside between Sant Antoni de Portmany and Cala Comte. Cala Comte is 1.7 km away as the crow flies, a shallow cove with clear water over sand and rock, and small islets offshore. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 6.1 km away, and the highest point Sa Talaia is 6.6 km away. The area is rural, with a few houses and low vegetation; a car is needed for most errands and trips to the beach.

In high summer, the road to Cala Comte gets busy with day visitors and sunset watchers. The shoulder months of May, June, September and October are quieter, with fewer cars and more space at the cove. The property's free car parking means guests can leave the car and explore the coast without worrying about finding a space. The nearest village with shops and restaurants is Sant Antoni, a short drive away.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 14.6 km straight line from Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments. A taxi takes about 20-25 minutes on the main roads. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most flexibility, as the property is in a rural area with no direct bus stop. In summer, a seasonal bus runs from the airport to Sant Antoni, but from there a taxi or a hire car is needed for the last 6 km.

Ibiza Town port is 17.9 km straight line away. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the port, a taxi or hire car is the best option. The property's free car parking is a practical advantage for guests who hire a car. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and many seasonal bus lines do not run, so a hire car is essential.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Comte is 1.7 km straight line from the hotel. The cove has shallow, clear water over sand and rock, with small islets offshore. Sunset at Cala Comte is a popular sight. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 7.1 km away, two small coves on the north side of Sant Antoni bay, with pine trees down to the water. Cala d'Hort is 7.5 km away, a cove facing the limestone islet Es Vedrà, which is about 380 m high and a nature reserve with no landing.

Sant Antoni de Portmany is 6.1 km away, a town with a long promenade, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a port with mainland ferry routes in season. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 6.6 km away and can be climbed for views of the island. The island's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes available at restaurants in Sant Antoni and near the coves.

A day from Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments

A day from Boutique Hotel Casa Caracol Apartments could start with breakfast on the terrace or patio, using the kitchen facilities. Drive the 1.7 km to Cala Comte for a morning swim in the clear, shallow water. The cove has sandy and rocky areas, and the offshore islets are visible. After the beach, return to the hotel for lunch at the apartment or take a picnic to the garden.

In the afternoon, drive 6.6 km to Sa Talaia and climb the hill for a view of the west coast and Es Vedrà. Later, head to Cala d'Hort, 7.5 km away, to see the islet Es Vedrà from the shore. As the sun sets, drive back towards Cala Comte for the sunset, or go to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 6.1 km away, for an evening walk along the promenade. Return to the hotel for a quiet night in the apartment.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the most visitors. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the 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.
