Marvell Club Aparthotel

About Marvell Club Aparthotel

Marvell Club Aparthotel suits families and couples who want a west-coast base with the option of eating in. The four-star aparthotel stands in Cala de Bou, on the north shore of Sant Antoni bay, a short hop from Sant Antoni de Portmany. Kitchenettes, a pool and a 24-hour front desk make it work for both beach days and late arrivals. Guests who drive to the coves each morning and cook dinner at home find the arrangement practical; those who prefer to walk out to eat have a village on the doorstep.

It is an aparthotel rather than a full-service hotel, rated four stars and scoring 4.5/5 from 243 reviews. The mix shapes the stay: apartment space and a kitchen for breakfast and light meals, plus an outdoor pool, a solarium, a garden and a fitness centre for the hours between beach and dinner. Ask the property to confirm a cot, a family room or a sofa bed when you book.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cala de Bou lines the north shore of Sant Antoni bay, a west-facing sweep of water where the sun sets over the sea. That north shore is the sunset strip, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.2 km away in a straight line, walkable for many guests and a short taxi ride for the rest. Cala de Bou itself is lower-key than the town centre, with small shops, cafés and low buildings near the water.

Marvell Club Aparthotel is not beachfront, so plan on walking or driving to swimming coves. A car opens up the west coast: Cala Comte is 5 km away in a straight line, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta 4 km, and the path up Sa Talaia 6.2 km. Buses along the bay are more frequent in summer; check the island bus operator for lines and times, which thin out in the shoulder months.

Rooms and facilities

The listed in-room facilities include air conditioning, a balcony or patio, a TV, a safe, a desk, a hairdryer and a bath, with a kitchen or kitchenette, fridge, microwave and coffee for self-catering. Some layouts add a sofa bed. Travellers with children can ask about cots and family rooms, and lifts serve the upper floors, which helps with luggage and buggies.

Services listed for guests include free wifi, housekeeping, laundry, a 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, currency exchange and a car rental desk. Confirm the details that matter to your stay: whether the kitchenette has a hob, whether the balcony looks over the pool or the street, how often housekeeping calls, and whether garage parking needs reserving. Late check-in should be arranged with Marvell Club Aparthotel in advance.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.5 km from Marvell Club Aparthotel in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the simplest arrival, and a hire car collected at the airport gives freedom from day one; free parking and a garage are listed at the hotel. Seasonal buses link the airport with Sant Antoni de Portmany and the south beaches; check the island bus operator for current lines.

Ibiza Town port, where ferries leave for La Savina on Formentera, is 15.2 km away in a straight line, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.2 km. Sant Antoni also has mainland routes in season. The fast ferry to Formentera takes about 30-35 minutes; there is usually no direct ferry between Ibiza and Menorca. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check operators before booking a crossing.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Comte, 5 km away in a straight line, is the west-coast beach for a long afternoon: shallow clear water with islets offshore, and the sunset is the draw. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta lie 4 km off, reached by road or a coastal walk. Cala d'Hort, 10.3 km south, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing.

Island cooking here is built on fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, and rice dishes made with the day's catch. Cala de Bou and Sant Antoni de Portmany have plenty of places to eat from breakfast to late dinner, and the kitchenette at Marvell Club Aparthotel lets you shop and cook for yourself. Anchoring over posidonia meadows is regulated; mooring buoys are installed in some bays in summer.

A day from Marvell Club Aparthotel

Start early with a drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 4 km away, for a swim in clear water before the day heats up. Back at Marvell Club Aparthotel, lunch and an hour by the outdoor pool or the kids pool fill the hottest part of the day, with the solarium and garden as the quieter options and the games room for children.

In the late afternoon, drive 5 km to Cala Comte for a swim and the sunset over the islets, or take the path up Sa Talaia, 6.2 km away, for views from about 475 m. Dinner fits Cala de Bou or Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.2 km off, and a taxi back after dark saves the drive, while a car from the hotel's rental desk keeps the rest of the week flexible.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, and many seasonal hotels with it, so check Marvell Club Aparthotel's opening dates before booking outside summer; July and August are the busiest weeks on this coast. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added by the accommodation for each guest and night, at rates that depend on the type of accommodation and the season, with reductions in low season and on longer stays, an exemption for children under 16, and current rates published by the Govern de les Illes Balears.
