Cas Torres

About Cas Torres

Cas Torres suits travellers who want a base close to Ibiza Airport without being in a resort. The hotel sits in the countryside, away from the main tourist strips, so it works for those who prefer quiet surroundings and plan to explore by car. The facilities include a kitchen or kitchenette, an outdoor pool and free parking, which makes it practical for self-catering holidays.

This is a hotel, not rated with stars and without a guest score. It provides a range of self-catering amenities such as a dishwasher, oven, microwave and washing machine, plus air conditioning and free wifi. The property is not on the beachfront but has a garden, terrace and patio for outdoor living. It suits couples and families who want independence and a central position for reaching both coasts.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cas Torres is in the countryside of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, the municipality that covers the south-west of Ibiza. The hotel is 1.2 km from Ibiza Airport in a straight line, so it is close to the flight path but set among fields and rural plots. Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on the island, is 4.3 km away in a straight line, and the Ses Salines Natural Park is 5.3 km away. The area feels open and agricultural, a contrast to the busy coastal zones.

In high summer the roads around the airport and Playa d'en Bossa can be busy, but the hotel's rural position offers a quiet retreat. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the countryside is quieter and the temperatures are milder for outdoor activities. A car is essential because the hotel has no village within walking distance; the free parking on site makes that easy. Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila are about 6.7 km away in a straight line, reachable in a short drive.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel's listed facilities include air conditioning, free wifi, a safe and a TV. The kitchen or kitchenette comes with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher and toaster, which allows guests to prepare meals. A washing machine, iron and board, and a hairdryer are provided, making longer stays more convenient. Some rooms have a balcony, terrace or patio, and a fireplace is listed, so it is worth confirming which units have these features.

For families, a cot and high chairs are listed, and the outdoor pool gives children space to play. The property has non-smoking rooms and a laundry service. Guests arriving late from the airport will find the short distance useful. The hotel does not list a restaurant or bar on site, so self-catering or eating out in nearby towns is the norm. Confirm the exact room layout and whether the kitchen is a full kitchen or a kitchenette when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 1.2 km from Cas Torres in a straight line, making it the closest accommodation to the terminal. A taxi from the airport takes only a few minutes. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, but the hotel is not on a main bus route, so a hire car collected at the airport is the most practical option. The free car parking at the hotel makes car hire convenient.

Ibiza Town port is 7.3 km away in a straight line. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the port, a taxi or hire car is needed to reach the hotel. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and the hotel's opening dates should be checked with the property. The airport's proximity means that early departures or late arrivals are easy to manage from Cas Torres.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach by straight-line distance is Playa d'en Bossa, 4.3 km away, a long stretch of sand with shallow water and the big clubs behind it. The Ses Salines Natural Park is 5.3 km away, with salt pans, dunes and juniper woodland, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Sa Caleta Phoenician settlement, 3.4 km away, is one of the three UNESCO components on land. Puig des Molins necropolis, 6.1 km away, is the other, a Phoenician-Punic burial ground near Ibiza Town.

Dalt Vila, the walled old town of Eivissa, is 6.7 km away in a straight line, with the cathedral at the top and 16th-century Renaissance walls. Ibiza Town itself has shops, restaurants and the port. Local food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, fish stews served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes are common in the area. A car is needed to reach these places from Cas Torres, as there is no village within walking distance.

A day from Cas Torres

A day from Cas Torres could start with a short drive to the Ses Salines Natural Park. Walk the dunes and see the salt pans in the morning light. From there, continue to Playa d'en Bossa for a swim or a walk along the beach. The water is calm and shallow. Return to the hotel for lunch prepared in the kitchen, using the terrace or patio for an outdoor meal.

In the afternoon, drive to Ibiza Town and park near Dalt Vila. Walk up through the old town to the cathedral, then down to the port area. The Puig des Molins necropolis is on the south side of the hill. For the evening, drive to a cove on the south-west coast such as Cala d'Hort, which faces Es Vedrà, a limestone islet about 380 m high. Watch the sunset over the islet before driving back to Cas Torres.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business, including many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April. Check Cas Torres's opening dates with the property before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the busiest beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and accommodation type, and is reduced for longer stays and in low season.
