Ibiza Holliday Villa Harmony

About Ibiza Holliday Villa Harmony

Ibiza Holliday Villa Harmony is a self-catering villa or apartment set in the countryside, outside the main resort areas. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with a pool, a garden and a terrace, away from the nightlife zones. The property has no star rating and no guest score listed, so it is worth contacting the owner directly for the latest details on the accommodation.

The villa is equipped for independent stays: a kitchen or kitchenette, a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave and a washing machine are listed. Free WiFi and free car parking are included. An outdoor pool and a solarium are on site. The setting is rural, with the nearest beaches and the town of Eivissa a short drive away.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

The villa is on the Crta Ibiza San Jose Km5, a road linking Ibiza Town with the village of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. This is an inland location, surrounded by pine-covered hills and agricultural land. The nearest straight-line distances are: Ibiza Airport 2.3 km, Playa d'en Bossa 5 km, Ses Salines 6.4 km, and Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 7 km. A hire car is essential for getting around; there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance.

In July and August the area is busy with traffic on the main roads, but the villa itself is in a quiet spot. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the countryside is quieter and the roads are less congested. Much of the island's tourism business closes from November to April, so check the villa's opening dates before booking.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with a range of facilities for self-catering stays. The kitchen or kitchenette includes a refrigerator, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and a toaster. A washing machine and an iron and board are provided. For entertainment, a TV and a DVD player are listed. Air conditioning and free WiFi are included. A fireplace is listed, which may be useful in the cooler months.

Families are catered for: high chairs are listed. Housekeeping is listed, but the frequency should be confirmed with the property. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure in advance, as the property has no reception desk. The outdoor pool and solarium are seasonal; confirm their opening dates directly with the owner.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 2.3 km away in a straight line, making the villa one of the closest accommodations to the airport. A taxi from the terminal takes about 5-10 minutes. A hire car is strongly recommended; car rental desks are at the airport arrivals hall. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, but the nearest bus stop to the villa is not within walking distance.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is 7.7 km. Ferries arrive from Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. A taxi from the port costs more than from the airport. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check the current schedules with the operators. The villa's free car parking is a key advantage for those who hire a car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach by straight-line distance is Playa d'en Bossa, 5 km away. This is the longest beach on the island, with shallow water and a strip of bars and shops behind it. Ses Salines Natural Park is 6.4 km away, with salt pans, dunes and a long beach. The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta is 3.4 km away; this UNESCO-listed site has the remains of the first Phoenician settlement on Ibiza.

Ibiza Town (Eivissa) is 7 km away, with the walled old town of Dalt Vila, the cathedral and the Puig des Molins necropolis (6.5 km). Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 5.8 km away and offers views over the south of the island. Local food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, found in restaurants around the island.

A day from Ibiza Holliday Villa Harmony

Start the day with breakfast on the patio or terrace at the villa. Drive 5.8 km to Sa Talaia and climb to the summit for views of the south coast and Es Vedrà. From there, continue 3.4 km to the Sa Caleta Phoenician settlement, a short walk around the ruins and the red cliffs. Then drive 5 km to Playa d'en Bossa for a swim and lunch at one of the beachfront places.

In the afternoon, drive 6.4 km to Ses Salines Natural Park. Walk the paths between the salt pans and the dunes; the beach here is less developed than Playa d'en Bossa. In the late afternoon, drive 7 km into Ibiza Town. Walk up to Dalt Vila, the walled old town, and see the cathedral at the top. Return to the villa for an evening by the pool or on the terrace.

Practical tips

Much of the island's tourism business closes from roughly November to April, so check the villa's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with high demand and higher traffic. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rates on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
