The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only

About The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only

Couples looking for a quiet base on Ibiza's west coast suit this address. The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only is a three-star hotel on Calle Badajoz in Sant Antoni de Portmany, and the name points to a grown-up setting rather than a family resort. Kitchen and kitchenette equipment in the listed amenities suggests longer stays and self-catering breakfasts, with Sant Antoni de Portmany 1.6 km away.

Three stars set the tone: practical rather than plush. A pool, a garden and a bar give the afternoons a shape, and a 24-hour front desk helps anyone arriving on a late flight into Ibiza Airport. Treat The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only as a self-sufficient base, with a kitchenette for simple meals, then plan beach time around the west coast and the bay of Sant Antoni de Portmany.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only has an address in Sant Antoni de Portmany, a bay that faces due west, with the sunset strip along its northern shore. The town centre is 1.6 km away on a straight line, so a stroll in or a short ride back both work after dinner. Sunsets over the water are the local ritual, and the west-facing shore catches the last light.

Walking covers the town and the nearer streets; for the coves, a bus, taxi or hire car is easier. Cala Comte is 6.4 km away, Cala d'Hort 10.8 km, Ibiza Airport 12.3 km and Ibiza Town port 13.7 km, all straight-line figures. The hotel lists a car rental service. In high summer the west-coast lanes fill early in the morning; in May and October the same drives are quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities are listed rather than promised, and the list is broad. Air conditioning, a safe, a TV, a telephone, a hairdryer and toiletries cover the basics, while a kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator and toaster lets couples cook something simple after a late afternoon at the pool. A pool bar, bars and a restaurant handle the rest. An outdoor pool, a garden and terraces give the days somewhere to settle.

Late arrivals are helped by the 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security, with lifts, luggage storage and a wake-up service for early starts. Non-smoking rooms, a smoke detector, cleaning and first aid appear in the same list. Before booking, confirm with The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only which units have a full kitchen rather than a kitchenette, whether a sofa bed features, and how the terrace is allocated.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport (IBZ), the straight-line distance to The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only is 12.3 km. A taxi is simplest with luggage, a hire car suits anyone planning to tour the west coast, and buses connect the airport with Sant Antoni de Portmany; summer adds lines, so check the island bus operator for current times. The car rental service listed by the hotel can cover the rest of the week.

Ibiza Town port, where ferries arrive from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, is 13.7 km from the hotel on a straight line. Sant Antoni also has mainland routes in season. Winter thins out flights and sailings, so confirm connections before booking, and expect the 24-hour front desk to be the first stop on a night arrival.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swimming coves are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 4.4 km away, with rocky edges and clear water. Cala Comte is 6.4 km off, shallow and open to the west, and Cala d'Hort lies 10.8 km away facing Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high where nobody lands. All three reward an early start.

Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia, Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, begins 5.6 km from the door. Food on this coast follows the sea: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, are the plates to look for, alongside simply grilled fish and rice. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.6 km away, keeps the town open through the year.

A day from The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only

Start with a swim at Cala Salada or Cala Saladeta, 4.4 km from The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only, before the parking areas and the sun both fill. Back for the middle hours, the outdoor pool, the garden and the pool bar do their work. Late afternoon suits the 5.6 km drive towards the Sa Talaia trailhead if legs allow the climb.

For the evening, Cala Comte is 6.4 km away and faces west, which makes it the obvious place for the sunset; Cala d'Hort, 10.8 km off, looks instead at Es Vedrà and the light behind it. Finish in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.6 km from the hotel, for a late plate of fish and rice before the short run back.

Practical tips

Ask The Palm Star Ibiza Adults Only for its opening dates before booking flights, because many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April. Late July and August carry the heaviest demand on the west coast. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the type of property and the season, fall in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for the current rules.
