Villa Los Cuatro Arcos

About Villa Los Cuatro Arcos

Villa Los Cuatro Arcos suits travellers who want a quiet base outside the resort crowds, with space to relax and the independence of a self-catering stay. The villa is in the Sa Carroca countryside, a short drive from Ibiza Town and Playa d'en Bossa, so you can explore the island's beaches and sights without being in the middle of the nightlife.

This is an apartment or villa, not rated with stars and with no guest score listed. It offers free WiFi, free car parking, a garden, a lounge, an outdoor pool, a picnic area, a terrace and wheelchair access. The stay is entirely self-contained, with no on-site restaurant or bar, giving you full control over your schedule.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Los Cuatro Arcos is on Carrer Sant Jordi in Sa Carroca, a rural area on the outskirts of Ibiza Town. The straight-line distance to Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town is 2.7 km, so the town centre is close but not walkable along main roads; you need a car or a taxi to reach it. The villa is 3.3 km from the Ibiza Town port and 4.9 km from the airport, making it convenient for arrivals and departures.

In high summer, the countryside around Sa Carroca stays quieter than the coast, though the roads to town and the beaches get busy. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the area is calm, with easier parking and fewer crowds. The villa's garden and pool provide a private retreat after a day out, and the picnic area lets you eat outdoors without driving to a restaurant.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed as a self-catering apartment or villa, so you have a kitchen or kitchenette and a living space. Facilities include free WiFi, a lounge, a terrace and a garden with a picnic area. The outdoor pool is a key feature for cooling off in the heat of the day. There is free car parking on site, which is essential for getting around from this rural location.

For families, the villa offers space and privacy, with a garden and pool that children can use under supervision. For couples, it is a quiet base with no shared facilities. Late arrivals should confirm the check-in procedure with the property, as there is no reception desk. Wheelchair access is listed, so ask about specific room layouts if needed.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 4.9 km straight line from Villa Los Cuatro Arcos, about a 10-minute drive by taxi or hire car. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town and the south beaches, but they do not stop at Sa Carroca; a taxi or a hire car is the practical option. The villa has free parking, so a hire car is recommended for exploring the island.

From the Ibiza Town port, the villa is 3.3 km straight line, a short taxi ride. If you arrive by ferry from Formentera, Palma or the mainland, you can take a taxi from the port. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules in advance. The villa's countryside location means you will rely on a car for most trips, especially outside the summer bus season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach areas are Playa d'en Bossa at 2.9 km straight line and Talamanca at 4.2 km. Playa d'en Bossa is Ibiza's longest beach, with shallow water and a lively strip of bars and clubs behind it. Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, quieter than Playa d'en Bossa. Both are a short drive from the villa.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are 2.7 km away, where you can walk the 16th-century Renaissance walls and visit the cathedral at the top. The Puig des Molins necropolis, a Phoenician-Punic burial site and part of the UNESCO listing, is 2.4 km straight line. The Sa Caleta Phoenician settlement is 7.9 km away. For food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, in the town's restaurants.

A day from Villa Los Cuatro Arcos

Start the morning with a swim in the villa's outdoor pool, then drive 2.7 km to Dalt Vila. Park near the port and walk up through the cobbled streets to the cathedral, taking in the views over the harbour and the sea. Visit the Puig des Molins necropolis on the way back, just 2.4 km from the villa. For lunch, buy supplies in town and return to the villa's picnic area.

In the afternoon, drive 2.9 km to Playa d'en Bossa for a longer swim or a walk along the sand. As the sun lowers, head to Talamanca at 4.2 km for a calm evening swim. For dinner, drive back into Ibiza Town to eat at a restaurant in the old town or near the port. The villa's garden and terrace are a quiet place to end the evening.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Villa Los Cuatro Arcos whether it is open during your travel dates. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the busiest roads and beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates change and children under 16 are exempt, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears site for the current amount.
