About Villa Ani

Villa Ani suits travellers who want a self-catering stay in a quiet part of Ibiza's south-west coast, inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park. The villa is not rated for stars and has no guest score listed. It works for couples and families who prefer a private house with a pool and terrace over a hotel with on-site dining or entertainment.

The property is a villa with an outdoor pool, a spa, a lounge and a terrace. Free WiFi and free car parking are listed. It is not beachfront: the nearest cove, Cala d'Hort, is 2.1 km away in a straight line. Guests need a hire car to explore the coves and villages of the south-west coast.

Location: Cala d'Hort

Villa Ani is in the Cala d'Hort area, inside the natural park that covers the south-west tip of Ibiza. Cala d'Hort is a small cove that faces the islet of Es Vedrà, about 380 m high and a nature reserve where no landing is allowed. The area is quiet and rural, with pine-covered hills and a few houses. In July and August, the car park at Cala d'Hort fills early; in the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the cove is quieter and parking is easier.

The villa is 2.1 km straight line from Cala d'Hort, 6.2 km from Cala Comte and 10.8 km from Sant Antoni de Portmany. The nearest town with shops and restaurants is Sant Antoni, about 11 km away by road. A hire car is essential: no bus serves the villa directly, and taxis from Sant Antoni or Ibiza Town are possible but expensive for daily trips. The airport is 13.7 km away straight line.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with an outdoor pool, a spa, a lounge, a terrace and free WiFi. There is no information about the number of bedrooms, bathrooms or whether the property is a single house or a set of apartments. Couples and families should confirm the layout and bed configuration with the property before booking. The spa may be a private facility or a shared one; check with Villa Ani.

Late arrivals should confirm check-in procedures, as there is no reception desk. The villa has free car parking, so a hire car is practical. There is no mention of air conditioning, a kitchen or laundry facilities; ask the property about these. The lounge and terrace are likely communal or private spaces; confirm which areas are exclusive to the booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.7 km straight line from Villa Ani. By road, the drive takes about 20-25 minutes via the main road to Sant Josep and then the local road towards Cala d'Hort. A taxi from the airport costs a set fare; a hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the whole stay. Buses from the airport run to Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, but not to Cala d'Hort; you would need a taxi from the nearest bus stop.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is 18.9 km; by road it is about 25-30 minutes. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer; check the schedules with the operators. A hire car is the most practical way to reach the villa and explore the area.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Cala d'Hort, 2.1 km straight line from the villa. It is a small cove with a view of Es Vedrà, inside the natural park. The water is clear and the setting is dramatic, especially at sunset. Cala Comte, 6.2 km away, has shallow clear water and islets offshore; it is a popular spot for sunset views. The Torre des Savinar walk starts 3.7 km from the villa and leads to a historic watchtower with views over Es Vedrà.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 10.8 km away, has shops, restaurants, a promenade and the sunset strip on its north shore. The area is known for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. Many restaurants in Cala d'Hort and Cala Comte close from November to April; check opening dates with the hotel or the establishments.

A day from Villa Ani

A day from Villa Ani could start with a morning swim at Cala d'Hort, 2.1 km away. The cove faces Es Vedrà, and the water is calm in the morning. After the swim, drive to Cala Comte, 6.2 km away, for a mid-morning coffee and a view of the islets. The shallow water there is good for a second swim or a snorkel. Return to the villa for lunch on the terrace.

In the afternoon, drive to the Torre des Savinar walk, 3.7 km from the villa. The walk takes you to a 18th-century watchtower with a view over Es Vedrà and the west coast. In the evening, drive back to Cala Comte or Cala d'Hort for sunset. Es Vedrà is visible from both coves. Dinner could be at a restaurant in Sant Antoni, 10.8 km away, or at a place near the cove. The villa's outdoor pool is an option for a late swim.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Villa Ani's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with high demand for parking at Cala d'Hort and Cala Comte. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
