Villa Eiviss

About Villa Eiviss

Villa Eiviss suits travellers who want a self-catering stay in the Ibizan countryside, away from the main resort strips. The property is an apartment or villa with no star rating. It has an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace, with free car parking and free Wi-Fi. The lounge has a fireplace, and the staff speak several languages.

The villa is outside Sant Josep de sa Talaia, a village in the south-west of the island. The area is quiet and rural, with pine-covered hills and agricultural land. It works well for those who plan to explore by car and prefer a private base to a hotel with on-site dining.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Eiviss is in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, about 6.6 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany and 12.7 km from Ibiza Town port. The nearest village, Sant Josep de sa Talaia, is a short drive away and has a few shops, a pharmacy and some restaurants. The property is not in a pedestrian zone, so a car is essential for getting around.

In high summer the roads around Sant Josep can be busy, especially on the way to the south and west beaches. The shoulder months of May, June and September are quieter, with fewer cars on the rural lanes. The garden and pool make the villa a good option for relaxing between outings.

Rooms and facilities

The property is listed as an apartment or villa with an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace. It has a lounge with a fireplace, free Wi-Fi and free car parking. The exact number of bedrooms and bathrooms is not stated, so guests should confirm the layout with the property before booking.

Families or small groups may find the villa suitable, but the lack of a stated kitchen or bathroom count means you should check the details. The multilingual staff can help with questions about the property. The fireplace may be useful in the cooler months, though most visitors will use the outdoor spaces.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 8.8 km straight line from Villa Eiviss. A taxi takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most flexibility, as the villa is in a rural area with limited public transport. Buses from the airport serve Sant Josep and the south beaches in summer, but they do not run directly to the property.

Ibiza Town port is 12.7 km away, so a taxi or hire car is needed from the ferry terminal. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 6.6 km away and has a few bus links. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus lines stop running. Check the island bus operator for current timetables.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach by straight line is Cala d'Hort, 7.1 km away, a cove that faces the islet of Es Vedrà. Cala Comte is 7.5 km away, with shallow clear water and islets offshore. Both are best reached by car. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 0.8 km from the villa and can be climbed on foot.

The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is 6.9 km away. Sant Josep de sa Talaia has a few restaurants and a small supermarket. For a wider choice of dining, Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town are within driving distance. Local food includes bullit de peix, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish with rice.

A day from Villa Eiviss

A day from Villa Eiviss could start with a walk to Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza, 0.8 km away. The climb takes about 20-30 minutes and gives views over the south-west coast. After that, drive to Cala d'Hort, 7.1 km away, for a morning swim facing Es Vedrà. The cove has a few seasonal beach bars.

In the afternoon, head to Cala Comte, 7.5 km away, for shallow water and offshore islets. Late afternoon, drive to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 6.6 km away, for a walk along the bay. The return to Villa Eiviss is short. In the evening, use the villa's terrace and pool rather than dining out.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the villa's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more traffic. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of property, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
