Villa Odiya

About Villa Odiya

Villa Odiya is an apartment or villa on the west side of Ibiza, set away from the main resort areas near Cala Tarida. The property is not rated and has no guest score. It suits travellers who want a straightforward base for exploring the coast, with the island's best-known coves and viewpoints within a short drive.

The villa is a non-smoking property and pets are not allowed. It stands inland from the beach, so you will need transport to reach the water. The setting is quiet, with the nearest village and beaches a few kilometres away. This is a stay for people who prefer a self-catering base over a full-service hotel.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Odiya is in the Sant Josep de sa Talaia area, on the west coast of Ibiza. The nearest village is Cala Tarida, a small settlement with a sandy cove and a few shops. The villa sits outside the main resort zones, so the immediate surroundings are low-key and mostly residential. You are about 4.3 km from Cala Comte and 5.1 km from Cala d'Hort, both reached by car.

In high summer, the west coast is busy with day-trippers heading to the beaches and sunset viewpoints. The villa's inland position means you avoid the worst of the traffic noise. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the area is quieter and the roads are easier. A car is essential for getting to the coves, restaurants and the nearest town, Sant Antoni de Portmany, 7.3 km away.

Rooms and facilities

The property is listed as an apartment or villa, so you will have your own space rather than hotel-style rooms. The facilities are minimal: it is a non-smoking property and pets are not allowed. There is no mention of air conditioning, a pool or a garden, so you should confirm what is included before booking.

For couples, the villa offers privacy and independence. For families, the self-catering layout gives flexibility, but you will need to drive for most amenities. Late arrivals should check with the property about check-in times and key collection, as these are not specified. The villa is not beachfront, so plan for a short drive to the coast.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.3 km from Villa Odiya in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes around 20 minutes on quiet roads, longer in summer traffic. Buses run from the airport to the main towns, but they do not serve Cala Tarida directly, so a hire car is the most practical option. Car hire desks are at the airport terminal.

If you arrive by ferry at Ibiza Town port, the villa is 16.5 km away. The drive takes about 30 minutes along the main road towards Sant Antoni, then inland towards Cala Tarida. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 7.3 km from the villa, so you can also reach it from there by taxi. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April, so check schedules if you travel in winter.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches to Villa Odiya are Cala Comte and Cala d'Hort. Cala Comte, 4.3 km away, has shallow clear water and islets offshore, good for swimming and sunset views. Cala d'Hort, 5.1 km away, faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high. The Torre des Savinar walk, 7.1 km away, gives a closer view of Es Vedrà.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 7.3 km from the villa, has a bay facing west and a promenade with restaurants and bars. The island's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses. For a longer trip, Sa Talaia, the highest point at about 475 m, is 4.5 km away and offers views over the south and west coasts.

A day from Villa Odiya

Start the day with a drive to Cala Comte, 4.3 km away, to swim in the clear water before the crowds arrive. The beach has shallow areas and islets offshore. After a swim, take the short drive to Cala d'Hort, 5.1 km away, and have lunch at one of the simple restaurants overlooking Es Vedrà. The cove is quieter than Cala Comte in the middle of the day.

In the afternoon, drive to the Torre des Savinar walk, 7.1 km away. The path leads to a watchtower with views over Es Vedrà and the west coast. Return to the villa for a rest, then head to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 7.3 km away, for the evening. The bay faces west, so you can watch the sunset from the promenade before dinner.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Villa Odiya about its opening dates before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with higher prices and more traffic on the west coast roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged by the accommodation per person per night; the rate depends on the season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
