Apartment Torres Mari

About Apartment Torres Mari

Apartment Torres Mari suits families and couples who want a base on Ibiza's east coast rather than the busier south. The building stands in Cala Llonga, a resort area on a sheltered inlet where the water stays shallow a long way out, and it holds a three-star rating with a short list of facilities. Days here tend to be built around the bay, with drives out to markets and evenings of fish and rice in the nearby towns.

This is an apartment or villa style of stay, not a full-service hotel: three stars, family rooms and a terrace, and a rhythm set by your own keys. Couples can treat it as a quiet east-coast base; households with children get a bay within a short walk. Bookings suit travellers who prefer to cook some meals and eat out on others, and who value space over hotel service.

Location: Cala Llonga

Apartment Torres Mari has an address in Cala Llonga itself, on Ibiza's east coast, where a long inlet runs between wooded headlands. The water is shallow for a considerable distance, which is why the bay draws families, and the settlement around it is compact enough to cross on foot. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, is 3.6 km away, and Ibiza Town port is 8.4 km.

The bay is 0.3 km from Apartment Torres Mari, so a morning swim needs no vehicle at all. Santa Eulària des Riu at 3.6 km is the closest place for a promenade, marina or supermarket run; taxis and summer buses cover it, while a hire car opens up the rest of the island. Talamanca is 7.3 km and Ibiza Town port 8.4 km. High summer brings traffic and a full bay; May, June and late September feel emptier.

Rooms and facilities

Family rooms and a terrace are the facilities listed for Apartment Torres Mari, and they set expectations for the stay. Family rooms matter to households travelling with children or grandparents, since one booking can hold the group. The terrace gives an outdoor corner without leaving the building, useful for breakfast or a late read. Couples booking outside school holidays often get a quieter version of the same address, and arrival times should be agreed with the property in advance.

Confirm the practical points with Apartment Torres Mari before paying: how many people each family room sleeps, whether the terrace comes with every unit or is shared, and what cooking and laundry equipment is provided. Ask about parking in Cala Llonga in August, about cleaning during a longer stay, and about the walk from the door to the water, which is 0.3 km. Written answers make the arrival simpler.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 15.6 km from Apartment Torres Mari in a straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. Taxis wait outside arrivals and hire desks sit in the terminal building. The drive crosses the island to the east coast and is the quickest way in with luggage. In July and August, allow extra time on the last stretch into Cala Llonga, when the resort roads are busy.

Ibiza Town port, 8.4 km from Apartment Torres Mari, handles ferries to Formentera's La Savina (about 30-35 minutes on fast boats, about an hour on conventional ones) and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Buses along the east coast run more frequently in summer; check the island bus operator for current lines. Santa Eulària des Riu is 3.6 km and Talamanca 7.3 km. Winter flights and sailings are fewer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga's inlet begins 0.3 km from Apartment Torres Mari and is the obvious first swim, shallow and sheltered between the headlands. Talamanca, 7.3 km away, offers a calm bay across from Ibiza Town. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 7.5 km off and Punta Arabí at Es Canar 7.9 km; both need a car or a bus, and market days change with the season, so check before setting out.

Eating on this coast is largely about fish. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's two-course fish stew and rice, turn up on menus in Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.6 km from Apartment Torres Mari, and in the bay itself. Grilled fish and rice for two are the things to look for. With the water 0.3 km away, a long lunch can be followed by a swim.

A day from Apartment Torres Mari

Begin with a swim at Cala Llonga, 0.3 km from Apartment Torres Mari, before the bay fills in high summer. Then drive or take a bus to Ibiza Town and walk the Renaissance walls of Dalt Vila, 8.9 km off, with the cathedral at the top and the port below. Return via Talamanca, 7.3 km, for a shallow, calm dip, and head back east in the late afternoon. A hire car keeps the timings flexible.

The evening belongs closer to base. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.6 km from Apartment Torres Mari, has a promenade and marina for a stroll before dinner. When Las Dalias at Sant Carles is running, 7.5 km away, it makes an alternative late afternoon; days vary, so check the current schedule. Finish with the 0.3 km walk from the apartment to the bay as the light goes, and eat near the water.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business, including seasonal buses, boat trips and many restaurants, closes roughly from November to April, so confirm Apartment Torres Mari's opening dates for your travel window. The busiest weeks fall in July and August, when Cala Llonga fills and the east-coast road slows; May, June and September are calmer. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that vary by category and season, reductions in low season and exemption for children under 16; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
