Villa Can Moon

About Villa Can Moon

Villa Can Moon is a self-catering villa set in a quiet inland area near Sant Josep de sa Talaia, on the south-west side of Ibiza. It suits travellers who want a base with a private outdoor pool, a garden and free car parking, away from the busier coastal resorts. The villa is not rated with stars and does not have a guest score listed.

This is a standalone villa, so you have the whole property to yourselves. The listed facilities include an outdoor pool, a garden, a lounge and a picnic area. There is no on-site restaurant or bar, so you will need to shop and cook, or eat out at nearby villages and coves. The villa is best for couples, small families or a group of friends who want independence and space.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Can Moon is in the countryside of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, a municipality that covers the south-west of Ibiza. Sant Josep village itself is a working town with a few shops, cafés and a weekly market. The villa is not in a resort, so the immediate surroundings are quiet, with pine woods and agricultural land. You need a car to reach most beaches, restaurants and supermarkets.

The straight-line distances give a sense of the area: Cala d'Hort is 6.6 km away, Cala Comte is 8.8 km away, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 8.2 km away. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 1.2 km away as the crow flies. In high summer the roads to the west coast coves get busy, but the villa itself remains calm. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the area is much quieter and easier to explore.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed as a self-catering property with a lounge, a garden and an outdoor pool. There is no information about the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, so you should confirm the layout with the property before booking. The facilities suggest it is suitable for a family or a small group, with space to relax both indoors and outdoors.

There is free car parking on site, which is essential for this location. The picnic area and garden mean you can eat outside in good weather. There is no mention of air conditioning, heating or a kitchen, so check with Villa Can Moon about what is provided. For late arrivals, a hire car is the most practical option, as there are few buses in this inland area.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 7.6 km in a straight line from Villa Can Moon, which is roughly a 10-15 minute drive by taxi or hire car. The airport is in the municipality of Sant Josep, so the villa is conveniently close. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and the south beaches, but they do not stop near the villa. A hire car collected at the airport is the best way to reach the property.

Ibiza Town port is 12.5 km away in a straight line, about a 20-minute drive. If you arrive by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia, you will need a taxi or a hire car from the port. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules. The villa's free parking makes a hire car the most practical choice for the whole stay.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest listed cove is Cala d'Hort, 6.6 km away, which faces the islet of Es Vedrà. The cove has a few restaurants and a rocky shoreline; the views of Es Vedrà are the main draw.

For sights, Sa Talaia is 1.2 km away and offers a walk to the highest point on Ibiza. The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is 5.4 km away.

A day from Villa Can Moon

Start the morning with a swim in the villa's outdoor pool, then drive the 6.6 km to Cala d'Hort. From the cove, look across the water at Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve. Walk along the shore or have a coffee at one of the small bars. The morning light on the islet is clear and strong.

In the afternoon, drive 8.4 km to the Torre des Savinar watchtower for a walk with wide views of the west coast and Es Vedrà. Then head to Cala Comte, 8.8 km from the villa, for a late swim in the shallow water. For dinner, drive to Sant Josep village or Sant Antoni de Portmany, 8.2 km away, for a meal of fresh fish or rice dishes. Return to the villa for a quiet evening by the pool.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Villa Can Moon about its opening dates. July and August are the peak months, when roads to the west coast coves are busiest and the villa's pool becomes a welcome retreat. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
