Villa Roberto Ibiza

About Villa Roberto Ibiza

Villa Roberto Ibiza is a self-catering villa near Cala de Bou, on the west coast of Ibiza. It suits travellers who want a private base with a kitchen, a terrace and an outdoor pool, away from the busiest resort centres. The villa is not rated by stars and has no guest score listed, so guests should judge the accommodation from the facilities provided.

The property offers free car parking, free WiFi and a garage, making it practical for those with a hire car. The listed facilities include air conditioning, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a safe, which points to a self-contained stay. Couples or small families who prefer to cook and drive to the coast will find this a straightforward option.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Villa Roberto Ibiza is in Cala de Bou, a settlement on the west coast about 2.9 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany. Cala de Bou has a small beach, a handful of shops and restaurants, and a quieter feel than the main resort. The villa is not beachfront; the nearest coast is the Cala de Bou beach itself, a short drive or walk away.

Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.9 km away by the straight-line distance, so a car or taxi covers it in a few minutes. The sunset strip along the bay is a short drive. In high summer the area is busy, but the villa's location outside the main strip keeps some distance from the noise. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the roads are quieter and parking is easier.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with a kitchen, a microwave, an oven, a toaster, a dishwasher and a refrigerator, so guests can prepare their own meals. The living area has a TV and a DVD player, and the terrace and balcony provide outdoor space. Air conditioning is listed, which is useful in the summer heat. Free WiFi and internet access are included.

For families, a cot and high chairs are listed, and pets are allowed, which is unusual for many properties. The safe and the iron and board add convenience. Guests should confirm the exact number of bedrooms and the layout with the property before booking, as these details are not given in the listing.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.7 km straight line from Villa Roberto Ibiza. A taxi takes about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car gives the most flexibility, and the villa has free car parking and a garage. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni de Portmany in summer, but from there you would need a taxi or a short walk to Cala de Bou.

Ibiza Town port is 15 km straight line away, so arriving by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia means a taxi or hire car ride of about 20-25 minutes. Sant Antoni de Portmany port is 2.9 km away and has some mainland ferry routes in season. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Comte is 4.8 km straight line from the villa, a west-facing cove with shallow clear water and islets offshore. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 5 km away, a pair of coves set in a pine-clad valley. Cala d'Hort, 9.4 km away, faces the islet of Es Vedrà, a limestone rock about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing allowed. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 5.3 km away and offers views across the island.

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.9 km away, has a bay that faces due west, a promenade, shops and restaurants. The area is known for its sunsets. Island food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. Many restaurants in the area close from November to April, so check opening dates.

A day from Villa Roberto Ibiza

A day from Villa Roberto Ibiza could start with breakfast on the terrace. Drive 4.8 km to Cala Comte for a morning swim in the clear water.

After lunch, drive 5.3 km to Sa Talaia and walk the short path to the summit for views over the island and out to sea.

In the late afternoon, drive 2.9 km to Sant Antoni de Portmany and walk along the bay. The west-facing coast is good for watching the sun set. Return to the villa for an evening meal cooked in the kitchen. In the shoulder months, the roads are quieter and the coves less crowded.

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 the highest demand and temperatures. 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 with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
