Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel

About Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel

Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel suits travellers who want the quiet south-west corner of Ibiza as a base: couples, small groups of friends and families with older children who prefer coves and walks to late nights. The address is Carrer De Sa Pala Marina, on the rise above Cala d'Hort in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Es Vedrà sits offshore, and the cliff paths of the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park begin close by.

Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel is a five-star hotel rather than a resort or a guesthouse, and its listed guest score is 4.4/5 from 409 reviews. That combination points to a polished, service-led stay: a staffed desk at any hour, a concierge, and a spa, pool and garden among the listed facilities, with terraces to retreat to after a day on the water. It is a place for people who want comfort close to a rugged coastline.

Location: Cala d'Hort

Cala d'Hort is a small cove facing Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that sits offshore inside a nature reserve, with no landing allowed. The cove and the surrounding cliffs fall within the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park, so the roads are few, the buildings low and the evenings quiet. The hotel sits on Carrer De Sa Pala Marina, about 1 km from the cove in a straight line, and the nearest town of any size is Sant Antoni de Portmany, 11.7 km away.

The cove itself is walkable, and the Torre des Savinar walk starts about 2.7 km away in a straight line, an outing best begun early. Everything else needs wheels: Cala Comte is 7.2 km off, Sant Antoni de Portmany 11.7 km and Ibiza Town port 19.1 km, and the island's buses thin out away from the main roads, so a hire car or a taxi arranged through the hotel's desk is the practical choice. In July and August, park early or leave the car behind; in May, June, September and October the same lanes feel far emptier.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, a bath, bathrobe and slippers, a minibar, a safe and a television, and some configurations include a sofa bed, which suits a family with children. Couples who want quiet can ask about a room away from the bars and the pool. The listed facilities also cover a spa, massage, a fitness centre, yoga, an outdoor pool and a garden, so a stay can be spent largely on the property between swims and treatments.

The desk is staffed around the clock, so a late arrival after a delayed flight is workable, and luggage storage helps if you reach the island before the room is ready. Breakfast, lunch and room service are listed, and special diets can be discussed. Confirm directly with Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel: whether a particular room has a sea-facing balcony, how the shuttle service runs and in which hours, whether pets are welcome in the room type booked, and the parking arrangement, since both free parking and valet parking appear on the list.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 13.5 km away in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep, and the drive is the simplest way to arrive with luggage; taxis wait at the terminal and a hire car can be collected there. Island buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, but none is likely to drop you at the door, so plan a short taxi for the last stretch.

Ibiza Town port is 19.1 km off in a straight line; that is where ferries leave for La Savina on Formentera, with fast crossings of about 30-35 minutes and conventional sailings of about an hour, and where boats also leave for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 11.7 km away and Cala Comte 7.2 km, both straightforward by car. Check the island bus operator for seasonal routes and the ferry operators for winter timetables, when sailings and flights are fewer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala d'Hort, the cove that gives the area its name, is about 1 km off in a straight line and is the closest place to swim; it faces Es Vedrà and sits inside the natural park. Cala Comte, 7.2 km away, has shallow water and islets offshore and can be the better choice on a windy day, while the longer sands of the south coast lie further round. Anchoring over the posidonia meadows is regulated, and mooring buoys are installed in some bays in summer.

Es Vedrà can be seen from the cliff paths and from the water, about 3.9 km from the hotel in a straight line, and the Torre des Savinar watchtower walk begins roughly 2.7 km away. Inland, Sa Talaia rises to about 475 m, the highest point on Ibiza. For island food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, along with fresh fish and rice dishes; the villages of the west and the bay at Sant Antoni de Portmany are where to find them.

A day from Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel

Start with a swim at Cala d'Hort, about 1 km away, before the cove fills in high summer, then walk the path towards the Torre des Savinar, roughly 2.7 km off in a straight line, for the view across to Es Vedrà. Return for lunch at the hotel, which lists a restaurant and room service, and spend the hot middle of the day by the pool or in the garden rather than on the road.

In the late afternoon, drive the 7.2 km to Cala Comte for a second swim among the islets, or head 11.7 km to Sant Antoni de Portmany for a walk along the bay, whose north shore faces west. The sunset at Cala Comte is the reason many people make that trip. Back at Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel, the bars and the terrace take over, and the desk can arrange a taxi if you would rather not drive the lanes after dark.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business, from beach bars to seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, while the main towns stay open, so check Petunia Ibiza a Beaumier Hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak; May, June, September and October are calmer. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged by the accommodation per person per night, at rates that depend on the type of accommodation and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with children under 16 exempt; check the rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
