Apartamentos Aguas Blancas

About Apartamentos Aguas Blancas

Apartamentos Aguas Blancas suits travellers who prefer self-catering accommodation in a quiet part of Ibiza. The complex offers a kitchen or kitchenette in each unit, a saltwater pool and a garden, making it practical for independent stays. The property is listed with a guest score and is classed as an apartamento complex, not a full-service hotel.

This is a base for exploring the north-east coast, where the landscape is greener and less developed than the south. The area around Cala Sant Vicent has a relaxed, low-key feel. In July and August the roads and coves are busier, but the north remains quieter than Playa d'en Bossa or Sant Antoni.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

The complex is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja, on the north-east side of Ibiza. Cala Sant Vicent, a deep sandy bay closed in by green hills, is 1.7 km away in a straight line. The area has a few shops and places to eat, but most services are a short drive. Es Canar, with its sheltered family beach and the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season, is 6.6 km away.

A hire car is the most practical way to get around from here. The north coast coves, such as Portinatx (8.3 km straight line), are easiest reached by car. In high summer, seasonal buses run to some beaches and villages, but services are less frequent than on the main routes. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the area is quieter and parking is easier.

Rooms and facilities

The units are listed as apartments or studios with a kitchen or kitchenette, a sofa bed, a terrace or balcony, and air conditioning. This layout works for couples or small families who want to prepare their own meals. The complex is listed with family rooms and high chairs, so children are catered for. A cot is also listed; confirm availability when booking.

Rooms are listed with a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker and iron and board. A TV and free wifi are included. For late arrivals, the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage are useful. The property is listed as wheelchair accessible, but it is worth checking the specific unit layout with the complex.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 27.8 km away in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most freedom for the stay. Seasonal buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town, but from there a connection to the north-east requires a change and is less direct.

Ibiza Town port is 20.9 km away in a straight line. Travellers arriving by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia can take a taxi or pick up a hire car at the port. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus routes on the island stop running; check the timetables with the island bus operator.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Sant Vicent is the nearest beach, 1.7 km away. It is a deep sandy bay with green hills around it, suitable for swimming and sunbathing. Portinatx, 8.3 km away, is a group of coves with pine trees down to the water. The north coast has several other small calas that are best reached by car or on foot.

The Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 6.6 km away and runs on Wednesdays in season. The Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 5.6 km away and is held on Saturdays; check the current days. Island food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. Restaurants in Cala Sant Vicent and the surrounding area serve these.

A day from Apartamentos Aguas Blancas

A morning at Apartamentos Aguas Blancas could start with breakfast on the terrace, then a short drive to Cala Sant Vicent for a swim. The bay is sheltered and the water is calm. After a few hours, drive to Es Canar (6.6 km) to browse the Punta Arabí hippy market if it is a Wednesday. The market has stalls and a relaxed atmosphere.

In the afternoon, head to Portinatx (8.3 km) for a walk along the coast or another swim. Return to the apartment to prepare a meal using the kitchen. Later, drive to Sant Carles de Peralta (5.6 km) for an evening stroll. The village has a few shops and a square. The north-east sky is clear for stargazing away from the town lights.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check the opening dates of Apartamentos Aguas Blancas 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 season and the type of accommodation, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
