Cas Catala Sant Jordi

About Cas Catala Sant Jordi

Cas Catala Sant Jordi suits travellers who want a base close to the airport but away from the resort crowds. The hotel sits on a quiet country road in Sant Josep, surrounded by farmland and pine forest. It is not on the coast, so a car or taxi is needed to reach the beaches and nightlife.

The property is an unrated hotel with a guest score not listed. It provides a mix of self-catering amenities and hotel services: each unit has a kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher, and there is a bar, an outdoor pool and free parking. The style is practical and independent, aimed at guests who prefer to cook and come and go on their own schedule.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cas Catala Sant Jordi is in the rural interior of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, about 1.9 km in a straight line from Ibiza Airport (IBZ). The immediate area is agricultural: drystone walls, almond groves and scattered houses. There is no village within walking distance. Playa d'en Bossa, the island's longest beach with its bars and clubs, is 3.4 km away. Ibiza Town and its port are 6.1 km away, and Dalt Vila is 5.5 km away.

In high summer the road outside is quiet, but the airport approach roads can be busy. The shoulder months of May, June, September and October are calmer, with fewer flights and less traffic. The hotel's position means it is easy to reach the south coast coves and the Ses Salines Natural Park without driving through resort traffic.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel lists rooms with a balcony or patio, a TV, free WiFi, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and a private bathroom with a bidet. Each unit also includes a kitchen with an oven, toaster, dishwasher, refrigerator and coffee-making facilities. Some rooms have a fireplace. The facilities suggest a self-catering stay: guests can prepare meals and eat on their own terrace.

Families are catered for with a cot listed and a washing machine in the room. Late arrivals should confirm check-in times with the property, as the hotel does not list a 24-hour reception. The outdoor pool and garden are shared spaces. The bar and snack area is open during the season; confirm its hours on arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 1.9 km away in a straight line, about a five-minute drive. A taxi from the terminal takes a few minutes. The airport bus stops at Playa d'en Bossa and Ibiza Town, but not at the hotel; the nearest stop is on the main road, about a kilometre away. A hire car collected at the airport is the most practical option, as the hotel offers free car parking.

Ibiza Town port is 6.1 km away, reachable by taxi or by driving through the town. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer; check the schedules with the operators. The hotel's proximity to the airport makes it a convenient stop for late arrivals or early departures.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Playa d'en Bossa, 3.4 km away, a long stretch of sand with shallow water and a lively promenade. Ses Salines Natural Park, 6 km away, offers salt pans, dunes and quiet coves such as Cala d'Hort and Es Cavallet. The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, 4.7 km away, is a UNESCO site with the remains of the island's first inhabitants. Puig des Molins necropolis, 4.9 km away, is a Phoenician-Punic burial ground.

Dalt Vila, the walled old town of Ibiza, is 5.5 km away. Walk the 16th-century ramparts and visit the cathedral at the top. Ibiza Town's port and marina are 6.1 km away, with shops and restaurants. The island's fish stew, bullit de peix, and rice dishes are served in the area's restaurants. A car is needed to reach most of these places from the hotel.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with high temperatures and crowded beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and accommodation type, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
