Casa Majo II

About Casa Majo II

Casa Majo II suits travellers who want a rural base close to the airport and the south coast without the noise of the resort strips. The address is on Carretera Sa Caleta, outside the main resort areas of Ibiza. Couples touring by car, small groups and families with older children fit the setting. Ibiza Airport is 2.2 km away in a straight line, so late landings and early departures are simple, and free car parking is listed.

This is a three-star apartment or villa property rather than a hotel with a lobby and a daily programme. The listed facilities, a garden, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a terrace, point to slow mornings and evenings outside. Shape the day around the pools and the shade, then drive out. Travellers who prefer a large hotel with constant activity should weigh the rural setting of Casa Majo II before booking.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Carretera Sa Caleta runs through open country in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, on the low ground between Ibiza Town and the south coast. There is no resort centre at the gate. Playa d'en Bossa, the island's longest beach, is 5.9 km away in a straight line, and Ses Salines is 5.2 km. The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta is 1.7 km off. The setting is rural rather than a village, so most trips out start with a drive.

Little is walkable beyond the lane itself, so a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus covers the trips out. Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are 8.4 km away in a straight line, Ibiza Town port 9.1 km, and the airport 2.2 km. The south road towards Ses Salines and Playa d'en Bossa can be slow at midday in July and August. In May, June, September and October the same runs take minutes.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities shape the stay here: a garden and a terrace for shade and long lunches, an outdoor pool for the heat of the day, an indoor pool for cooler or windier weather. Free Wifi is listed for planning and messages. Couples can treat Casa Majo II as a quiet base for two, while families with older children gain space and their own timetable. Three stars suggests simple, practical accommodation.

Before booking, ask the property which unit is offered, whether the indoor and outdoor pools are shared with other guests, and how parking is arranged on site. Fix check-in and check-out times in advance, especially with a late landing at Ibiza Airport, 2.2 km away. Families should confirm cots, high chairs and pool depths. The property is the right source for arrival instructions along Carretera Sa Caleta.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport the straight-line distance to Casa Majo II is 2.2 km. Taxis wait outside arrivals, and a hire car can be collected at the terminal; either suits a late landing. Local buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator and the closest stop to Carretera Sa Caleta before depending on one.

From Ibiza Town port, where ferries arrive from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, Casa Majo II is 9.1 km away in a straight line. Dalt Vila sits above the port at 8.4 km from the property. Arriving from Playa d'en Bossa, the distance is 5.9 km. Winter brings fewer flights and thinner bus timetables, so confirm both with the airline and the island bus operator, then fix the last stretch with the property.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta is 1.7 km from Casa Majo II, an easy first stop before the heat builds. Ses Salines is 5.2 km away and the dunes walk there is 5.9 km off; the salt pans are still worked and the natural park dates from 2001. Playa d'en Bossa lies 5.9 km away. Sa Talaia, the highest point at about 475 m, is 6.4 km from the property.

Fish and rice set the tone on this side of Ibiza. Bullit de peix arrives in two courses, the fish first and then rice cooked in the broth, while arròs a banda is the plainer rice dish. Both appear across the south and in Ibiza Town, 8.4 km from Casa Majo II. Book ahead in July and August, and ask the property which kitchens stay open in the shoulder months.

A day from Casa Majo II

Begin at the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, 1.7 km from Casa Majo II, before the day warms up. Continue to Ses Salines, 5.2 km from the property, and walk the dunes and salt pans before lunch. A swim at Playa d'en Bossa, 5.9 km away, fills the hottest hour. Return along Carretera Sa Caleta and use the terrace or garden as the day cools.

Give another morning to Sa Talaia, about 475 m high and 6.4 km from Casa Majo II; the climb puts the south coast, the salt pans and the sea towards Formentera in view. In the afternoon drive to Dalt Vila, 8.4 km away, and walk the 16th-century Renaissance walls, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999, with the cathedral at the top. A car links both.

Practical tips

Casa Majo II sits in countryside, and much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the property's own opening dates before booking a winter stay. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; May, June, September and October are gentler on the roads. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa), charged per person per night by the property. Rates vary with season, category and length of stay, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears sets out current rules.
