About Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group

Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group is a three-star hotel in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the west coast of Ibiza. It suits couples and families who want a simple base with an outdoor pool, a garden and a pool bar, then days out along the coast. Groups travelling together fit too, and a 24 hour front desk and multilingual staff are listed for anyone arriving on a late flight.

Three stars and a guest score of 4.0/5 from 69 reviews place the stay at a practical, mid-range level rather than a luxurious one. The listed facilities lean towards self-catering as well as hotel service: a kitchen, microwave and refrigerator sit alongside a restaurant, bars and a lounge. Laundry service, iron and board and luggage storage make longer stays easier to manage, and the lifts serve a building of fewer than ten floors.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Calle Es Caló 108 sits in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany, on Ibiza's west coast. The bay here faces due west, and the sunset strip runs along its north shore, which gives the area its evening character. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.5 km away in a straight line, so the town centre, the port and the waterfront are a short trip rather than a walk from the door.

The immediate streets and local shops are walkable, and the supermarket listed among the facilities helps with self-catering. Anything on the water needs a car, taxi or seasonal bus: Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.1 km away in a straight line, and Cala Comte is 4.7 km. High summer fills the west coast roads as the sun drops; by contrast, May, June and September keep the same coastline far quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Room fittings are listed rather than described: air conditioning, a balcony, a TV, a safe, a hairdryer and toiletries, plus a kitchen, microwave and refrigerator for simple meals. Couples can use the balcony and the pool terrace as the day's anchors. Families have cribs, a kids pool and a babysitting service among the listed facilities, while a 24 hour front desk, free wifi and free bottled water cover late arrivals.

Questions worth putting to the property: whether the kitchen appears in every room or only in some, which way the balcony faces, and how the babysitting service is arranged. Parking and self parking are listed, so ask about a space if arriving by car. Lifts serve a building of fewer than ten floors, and a computer room and arcade are listed for wet afternoons.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 13.6 km from Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars are the direct options for the transfer. Airport buses serve Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more lines running in summer, so check the island bus operator for the current timetable before counting on a particular departure. The drive crosses the island's southern half.

Ibiza Town port is 15.5 km away in a straight line, with ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni de Portmany also has mainland routes in season. Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group sits on the western side of the island, so the run from the port crosses it; a taxi is the simplest option with luggage. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Two coves, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, sit 4.1 km away in a straight line; Cala Comte is 4.7 km and Cala d'Hort 10.2 km. Cala Comte has shallow clear water and islets offshore. Cala d'Hort faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 6.2 km off.

Island cooking is worth planning around: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes along the coast. Pair a beach with a village stop to keep the driving short. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.5 km away, is the nearest town for an evening, and its bay faces due west, with the sunset strip along the north shore.

A day from Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group

Start early with the climb to Sa Talaia, 6.2 km away in a straight line, before the heat builds; the summit is about 475 m above sea level and the island's highest point. Come down for a swim at Cala Salada or Cala Saladeta, 4.1 km from the hotel, where the morning is quieter than the afternoon. A car or taxi makes both legs straightforward, and a seasonal bus is a third option.

Spend the afternoon at Cala Comte, 4.7 km away, for shallow water and a sunset over the islets, or drive the extra distance to Cala d'Hort, 10.2 km, to watch the light on Es Vedrà. Back at Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group, the pool bar and garden are listed for the evening. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.5 km off, is the nearest place for a later wander.

Practical tips

July and August are the crowded months on this west coast. Outside them, many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so check opening dates with Marina Palace Prestige by Intercorp Hotel Group before booking a flight. Accommodation in the Balearics also carries the sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, charged per person per night by the hotel; rates vary by season and category, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current bands.
