Villa Ca Daniela

About Villa Ca Daniela

Villa Ca Daniela is a self-catering villa in the west of Ibiza, set back from the coast near Cala de Bou. It suits travellers who want space, privacy and the freedom to cook and come and go as they please, rather than a hotel with restaurants and organised entertainment. The villa is not rated with stars and has no guest score, so the stay depends on what the property itself offers.

The villa is listed with a private outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace and a patio, plus air conditioning and free wifi. With several bedrooms, a kitchen and a washing machine, it works well for families or a group of friends. The location, between Sant Antoni and the quieter south-west coves, gives easy access to both the sunset side of the island and the natural landscapes around Sa Talaia.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Ca Daniela sits outside the main resort areas, near Cala de Bou on the west coast of Ibiza. Cala de Bou is a small bay with a handful of shops and places to eat, but the villa itself is in a residential area, so a car is useful for most outings. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 3.4 km away in a straight line, close enough for evening walks along the bay or the sunset strip.

The villa is well placed for the west coast's best-known sights. Cala Comte is 4.7 km away, Cala d'Hort is 8.9 km away, and the climb up Sa Talaia starts 4.9 km from the door. In high summer the roads to the beaches fill up, so an early start is wise. In May, June, September and October the same coves are quieter and the villa's pool becomes a pleasant alternative to the sea.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with air conditioning, a fan and a fireplace, which covers both summer heat and cooler evenings in the shoulder months. The kitchen comes with an oven, microwave, toaster, refrigerator and coffee maker, so self-catering is straightforward. There is a washing machine, an iron and board, and a safe for valuables. Bedrooms are not described in detail, but the property includes a sofa bed, which suggests extra sleeping space.

Families are catered for with a cot listed among the facilities. The villa has a balcony, a terrace and a patio, plus a garden and an outdoor pool. Pets are allowed, which is useful for those travelling with a dog. Confirm with the property which rooms have the sea view and whether the pool is open all year, as seasonal opening dates vary.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.5 km from Villa Ca Daniela in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car gives the most flexibility for exploring the west coast and is recommended, as many of the nearby coves are not served by frequent buses. Buses do run from the airport to Sant Antoni, which is 3.4 km from the villa, but you would then need a taxi or a longer walk to the property.

If you arrive by ferry, Ibiza Town port is 14.9 km away in a straight line. From the port, a taxi to the villa takes around 25 minutes. Sant Antoni, the nearest town, also has some mainland ferry routes in season. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check schedules if travelling between November and April. In summer, additional bus lines run along the coast, but the villa is easiest to reach by car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest named beach is Cala Comte, 4.7 km away, known for its shallow clear water and islets offshore. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 5.5 km away, a pair of small coves with pine trees down to the water. Cala d'Hort, 8.9 km away, faces the islet of Es Vedrà, a limestone rock about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing allowed. The climb up Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, starts 4.9 km from the villa and rewards with wide views.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 3.4 km away, has a long bay, a promenade and the famous sunset strip on its north shore. The town stays open year-round, with shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Ibiza's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. For a change of scene, the hippy market at Es Canar runs on Wednesdays in season, and Las Dalias at Sant Carles is open on Saturdays.

A day from Villa Ca Daniela

A day from Villa Ca Daniela could start with breakfast on the terrace before a morning swim in the pool. Drive the 4.7 km to Cala Comte for shallow, clear water and a view of the islets offshore. Bring snorkelling gear and a picnic, as facilities are limited. Alternatively, take the 5.5 km drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, where pine trees reach the shore and the water is calm.

In the afternoon, head inland to Sa Talaia, 4.9 km away, and climb to the highest point on Ibiza for a panorama of the island. From there, continue to Cala d'Hort, 8.9 km away, and watch the sun go down behind Es Vedrà. In the evening, drive the 3.4 km into Sant Antoni for dinner along the bay or the sunset strip. Return to the villa for a night swim in the pool under the stars.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Villa Ca Daniela whether the villa is open in winter. July and August are the busiest months, with higher prices and crowded beaches; May, June and September offer warmer sea temperatures and fewer people. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, known as the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates varying by season and length of stay, and children under 16 exempt. Check the current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
