Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras

About Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras

Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras suits travellers who want a quiet base outside the main resorts, with Sant Antoni de Portmany and the west coast coves within a short drive. The property is a four star hotel in Cala de Bou, on the north side of Sant Antoni bay. Couples tend to use it for the pool, the spa and the garden; families book the family rooms and the babysitting service. Guests travelling without a car can use the listed shuttle service and public transport links to the town.

Behind the score of 4.4/5 from 52 reviews sits a straightforward four star formula: a pool with a pool bar, a spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, a restaurant, and rooms with balconies, air conditioning and minibars. It is a calm, self-contained kind of stay rather than a party base, and it works well for a first visit to the west coast or for a repeat trip when the resort strip has less appeal.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cala de Bou sits on the northern shore of Sant Antoni bay, a low-rise strip of apartment blocks, small shops and seasonal bars running west from Sant Antoni de Portmany towards the open coast. It is quieter than the resort centre across the water and less developed than the sunset strip on the far side of the bay. The hotel stands at Calle Valladolid 1, in the bay, not on the sand: the nearest coves are a drive away.

Shops, bars and the bay shoreline are within walking distance, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 3.5 km away, reachable by the listed public transport or a short taxi ride. Everything else needs wheels: Cala Comte is 3.9 km in a straight line, Cala Salada 5.1 km and Cala d'Hort 9.1 km. In July and August the bay road is slow in the evening and car parks at the coves fill early, so plan beach trips for the morning. May, June and September are easier for driving.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to a comfortable, fairly full-service four star setup. Rooms come with air conditioning, a balcony, a bath, bathrobe and slippers, a minibar, safe and TV, and the hotel lists non-smoking rooms, family rooms and cots. Outside the room there is an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a garden and terrace, a solarium, and a spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and can also be taken in the room.

Late arrivals should confirm reception cover and express check-in before travelling, since the hotel lists express check-in, luggage storage, wake-up service and room service but keeps its own hours. A balcony facing the garden or pool is worth requesting when booking. Families should check how the sofa bed and cot are arranged in the family rooms. Confirm pool and spa hours, whether massage needs booking ahead, and how the shuttle service, car rental service and parking, including valet parking, work in high season.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 13.4 km away in a straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage, and a hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the coves and for the run to Cala de Bou. The hotel lists a shuttle service, so ask whether an airport transfer can be arranged when booking. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and the south beaches, with more lines in summer.

The port of Ibiza Town is 15.8 km away in a straight line, useful if arriving from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia. Fast ferries from La Savina take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour. From Sant Antoni de Portmany, 3.5 km away, the last stretch is a short taxi ride. Seasonal buses serve the bay and thin out outside summer, and flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check times with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Comte is 3.9 km away, with shallow water and islets offshore, and it is the usual place to watch the sun go down on this coast. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 5.1 km away, are small coves with pines running down to the water. Cala d'Hort, 9.1 km away, looks across to Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that sits in a nature reserve where nobody lands. The hotel is not on the beach, so each needs a car, taxi or seasonal bus.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 3.5 km away, is the nearest town for supplies and transport, and it stays open through the year. Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia starts 5.7 km from the hotel and reaches the island's highest point at about 475 m. For food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. Plenty of places around the bay serve them in season.

A day from Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras

Start early with the climb to Sa Talaia, 5.7 km from Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras, to be off the ridge before the heat builds; the summit is about 475 m and puts the whole island in view. Then drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 5.1 km away, for a swim and a late morning on the rocks. Return to Cala de Bou for lunch, the pool and the spa during the hottest hours, and let the afternoon run slowly.

Late afternoon, head to Cala Comte, 3.9 km from the hotel, for the sunset over the islets, then back to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 3.5 km away, for dinner around the bay. A longer day adds Cala d'Hort, 9.1 km away, for the view across to Es Vedrà and a walk in the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park. A hire car makes the loop simple, as buses thin out outside summer.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates of Hotel Boutique Ses Pitreras before booking outside the main season; Eivissa and the bigger towns stay open all year. July and August are the peak months, when the island is at its most crowded. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the category and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
