Casita en Cala Llonga

About Casita en Cala Llonga

Casita en Cala Llonga suits families and couples who want a quiet base on Ibiza's east coast with the option of cooking at home. The four-star property sits in Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet between wooded headlands where the water stays shallow. A garden, an outdoor pool and free car parking make it practical for mixed groups, while the kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine cover longer stays and wet swimwear.

This is a four-star stay with the feel of a private house: air conditioning, a balcony or patio, a bath and toiletries, and a kitchen equipped with an oven, microwave, toaster and coffee making kit. Couples can use it as a base for the east coast; families get more space than a single room. Check-in and check-out times are worth confirming with Casita en Cala Llonga before booking, along with cot and bed arrangements.

Location: Cala Llonga

Casita en Cala Llonga takes its name from the inlet it sits in, a long, sheltered bay between wooded headlands on Ibiza's east coast. The water is shallow, which is why families gravitate here. Santa Eulària des Riu, with its promenade and marina, lies 3.7 km away, and the port at Ibiza Town is 8.1 km off. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina from the capital, is 7 km from the property.

The cove itself is 0.5 km from the door, close enough to walk down for a morning swim. Anything further needs a car, a bus or a taxi: Santa Eulària des Riu is 3.7 km, Ibiza Town port 8.1 km. Free parking at Casita en Cala Llonga makes a hire car straightforward. In July and August the inlet fills early, so outings to Santa Eulària are easier in the morning; in May, June and September the same run feels unhurried.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 15.3 km from Casita en Cala Llonga in a straight line, on the south-west side of the island near Ibiza Town. A taxi or a hire car covers the run most directly; buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. Check the island bus operator for current routes and times before relying on a connection.

From Ibiza Town port, 8.1 km away, the road climbs east towards Cala Llonga. Santa Eulària des Riu is 3.7 km from the property and makes a useful stop for supplies. Ferries from the port go to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so day trips are possible. In winter there are fewer flights and sailings, and seasonal buses thin out; confirm times with the operators.
