About Casa Palm Tree

Casa Palm Tree is an apartment or villa on Ibiza's west coast, near the village of Cala Vedella. It suits travellers who want a self-catering stay with a kitchen, a garden and a pool, away from the busiest resort strips. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed, but its facilities are aimed at independent stays.

This is a practical base for couples, families or small groups who prefer to cook their own meals and explore the coast by car. The villa has a salt-water outdoor pool, a terrace, a picnic area and free car parking. The area is quieter than the south or east, with pine-covered hills and coves a short drive away.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Casa Palm Tree is on Carrer 6 Des Calo D En Real, outside the main resort areas, near Cala Vedella on Ibiza's west coast. Cala Vedella is a small cove with a sandy beach and a few seasonal restaurants, set among low cliffs and pine trees. The area feels relaxed in the shoulder months of May, June and September, when the coves are less crowded.

Cala d'Hort is 3.7 km away, a cove facing Es Vedrà, the limestone islet that rises about 380 m from the sea. Cala Comte is 4.5 km away, with shallow clear water and offshore islets. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 9.4 km away by straight line. A car is the most practical way to reach the coves, the village and the main roads; buses are limited in this part of the island.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.9 km away by straight line. A taxi from the airport to Casa Palm Tree takes about 20-25 minutes by road. A hire car is the most practical option for this location, as the villa has free car parking. Bus services from the airport run to Sant Antoni and the south beaches, but the nearest stop to Cala Vedella is a few kilometres away.

Ibiza Town port is 18.6 km away by straight line. From the port, a taxi or hire car takes about 25-30 minutes. In summer, there are more buses to the west coast, but services are fewer from November to April. Flights and ferries are also reduced in winter; check the hotel's opening dates before travelling.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Casa Palm Tree whether it is open in the months you plan to travel. July and August are the peak season, with more crowds and higher demand for hire cars. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, is reduced for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
