Sunset Oasis

About Sunset Oasis

Sunset Oasis suits travellers who want a simple base in the west of Ibiza with the sea a short drive away. The hotel stands in Sant Josep de sa Talaia municipality, 2.2 km from Sant Antoni de Portmany, so the bay and its evening promenade are a brief trip rather than a walk from the door. Couples touring the coves and families needing apartment space both fit here.

This is a two-star hotel with apartments, listed with a guest score of 4.8 out of 5 from 204 reviews. Expect a modest, practical place rather than a resort, with an outdoor pool, a garden, a solarium and a bar among the facilities, plus free parking. The apartments have kitchens, which changes the rhythm of a stay, since breakfast and lunch can happen at your own table.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Sant Antoni de Portmany lies 2.2 km from Sunset Oasis. The town curves around a wide bay that faces west, and its northern shore is the sunset strip, busy each evening as the light drops. The hotel's own municipality is Sant Josep de sa Talaia, and the coast nearby mixes sandy coves with rocky points and a long seafront.

Beyond the immediate street, little is on foot from Sunset Oasis, so plan on a car, a taxi or the island buses; check the island bus operator for current lines and times. The twin coves of Cala Saladeta and Cala Salada sit 4.8 km away, Cala Comte 6 km, Cala d'Hort 10.2 km and Ibiza Town port 13.9 km. Free parking at Sunset Oasis makes a hire car the simplest option.

Rooms and facilities

Accommodation at Sunset Oasis is listed as rooms and apartments. Air conditioning, a TV, a safe, a hairdryer and toiletries appear in the room inventory, along with balconies. Apartments add a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave, oven, toaster and refrigerator, plus a sofa bed, which suits a family or two couples who want to eat in on some evenings.

Because the layout differs between units, confirm with Sunset Oasis which one you are booking, whether the balcony looks over the garden or the pool, and whether a sofa bed is needed. Ask about the laundry service, luggage storage and how the 24-hour front desk handles a late arrival. Tennis, massage and diving appear in the list, so check what runs in your week.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.1 km from Sunset Oasis in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is quickest with luggage, and picking up a hire car at the airport gives independence for the rest of the stay, with free parking at the hotel. Airport buses run towards Sant Antoni de Portmany and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 13.9 km from Sunset Oasis, has ferries to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; fast ferries to La Savina take about 30-35 minutes. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.2 km away, has some mainland routes in season. Flights and sailings thin out in winter, so check operators and Sunset Oasis's own dates before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The closest swim is at Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 4.8 km from Sunset Oasis, a pair of small coves with clear water and a path between them. Cala Comte, 6 km away, has shallow water and islets offshore and is the usual spot for the sunset. Cala d'Hort, 10.2 km away, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands.

Around Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.2 km from the hotel, look for the island's fish cooking: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, rice with the broth first and the fish after. Village bakeries and small bars away from the bay keep things simple. Ask at Sunset Oasis which kitchens are open in the week you visit, since many close out of season.

A day from Sunset Oasis

Begin early with the climb to Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, listed 5.1 km from Sunset Oasis; go before the heat builds. Come down for a swim at Cala Salada or Cala Saladeta, 4.8 km away, and eat lunch at the apartment. The afternoon belongs to the pool and garden at the hotel, or a slow drive along the west coast.

In the evening, drive 6 km to Cala Comte for the sunset over the islets, or head 2.2 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany for the strip along the north shore of the bay. Back at Sunset Oasis, a late swim and something from the bar round off the day. A car makes the loop easy; taxis cover the short hops if you are not driving.

Practical tips

Outside summer, Ibiza quietens: many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and restaurants shut roughly from November to April, so check Sunset Oasis's own opening dates before booking. Late July and August bring the fullest coves. Sunset Oasis collects the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night, at rates that depend on the accommodation type and the season, with children under 16 exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears, as rates change.
