Villa Melody

About Villa Melody

Villa Melody suits travellers who want a self-contained base on the west coast of Ibiza, with a private pool and garden. This apartment or villa is not rated and has no guest score listed; it offers a full kitchen, a washing machine and a dishwasher, making it a practical choice for longer stays or families who prefer to cook and eat at their own pace.

The property sits on Cami De Cas Trull, about 2 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany, the main west-coast town. With a terrace, a balcony and free Wi-Fi, it provides the essentials for a quiet holiday away from the busier resort strips, while still being close enough to reach the sunset shore and the coves of the west coast by car.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Melody is in the countryside of Sant Antoni de Portmany, a west-facing bay known for its sunsets and the north-shore sunset strip. The villa is about 2 km straight line from the centre of Sant Antoni, where you find the promenade, the port and a range of shops and restaurants. The area is quieter than the south-coast resorts, with a mix of rural lanes and low-rise holiday accommodation.

In high summer, the roads to Sant Antoni and the nearby coves get busy, and parking in the town can be tight. A hire car is the most practical way to reach the villa and to explore the west-coast coves such as Cala Comte (7 km) and Cala d'Hort (10.8 km). In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the traffic eases and the countryside feels more relaxed.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 11.6 km straight line from Villa Melody. A taxi from the airport to the villa takes roughly 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Buses from the airport run to Sant Antoni de Portmany (more lines in summer), from where you can take a taxi to the villa. A hire car collected at the airport gives you the most flexibility for the stay.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is about 13 km; a taxi or hire car is the easiest way to reach the villa. Sant Antoni de Portmany is only 2 km straight line away, so you can walk, cycle or take a short taxi ride into town for supplies or meals. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines do not run.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 5 km straight line from Villa Melody. These two small coves are set in a pine-clad valley with clear water and are popular for snorkelling. Cala Comte (7 km) has shallow clear water and islets offshore, and is a well-known spot for watching the sunset. Cala d'Hort (10.8 km) faces the islet of Es Vedrà, a limestone nature reserve where no landing is allowed.

Sant Antoni de Portmany (2 km) has a promenade, a port, shops and restaurants. The highest point on Ibiza, Sa Talaia (about 475 m), is 5.1 km straight line away and offers views over the island. Local food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. You find these in the restaurants of Sant Antoni and the nearby villages.

A day from Villa Melody

From Villa Melody, drive the 2 km into Sant Antoni de Portmany for breakfast at a café on the promenade. Then head north to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta (5 km) for a morning swim in the clear water. The coves are small, so arriving early gives you a better chance of finding a spot on the sand. Pack a picnic from the villa's kitchen.

In the afternoon, drive to Cala Comte (7 km) for the shallow water and the offshore islets. As the sun drops, find a spot on the rocks or at one of the viewpoints to watch the sunset over the sea. Return to Villa Melody for a dinner cooked in the kitchen, using produce from the Sant Antoni market or a local shop.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Villa Melody's opening dates directly. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more traffic on the roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the 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 rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
