Casa Melia

About Casa Melia

Casa Melia suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibiza countryside, away from the main resort strips. The property is an apartment or villa with an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace. It is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed.

This is a self-catering stay with free car parking, which makes it practical for those who plan to explore the island by hire car. The accommodation has a restaurant on site, but guests should confirm its opening days and hours directly with the property.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Casa Melia is in the countryside outside the main resort areas, on Carrer Basilea. The straight-line distance to Ibiza Town port is 5.4 km, and to Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town it is 6.1 km. The nearest beach by straight line is Cala Llonga at 2.8 km, with Talamanca at 4.4 km. The area is quiet, with pine-covered hills and rural lanes, and a car is needed to reach most services, beaches and restaurants.

In high summer, the countryside remains calmer than the coastal resorts, though roads to the beaches and towns can be busy. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the pace is slower and the weather is still warm enough for the pool and the beach. Many of Ibiza's seasonal businesses close from November to April, so guests should check Casa Melia's opening dates.

Rooms and facilities

Casa Melia is listed as an apartment or villa, so it likely offers self-contained living space with a kitchen or kitchenette. The facilities include an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace, which are shared or private depending on the unit. Free car parking is available on site. Guests should confirm the exact layout, number of bedrooms and bathroom configuration with the property before booking.

For couples, the apartment or villa provides a private retreat with pool and garden space. Families may find the self-catering setup convenient for flexible meal times. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure with Casa Melia, as the property is in a rural location and may not have a 24-hour reception. The restaurant on site may have limited hours, so confirm its schedule.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.6 km straight line from Casa Melia. A taxi from the airport takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most flexibility for getting to the property and exploring the island. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town, but from there a taxi or a hire car is needed for the final 5.4 km to the villa.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is 5.4 km. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Guests arriving by ferry can take a taxi or pick up a hire car in the town. Seasonal bus services run to many parts of the island, but the rural location of Casa Melia makes a car the most practical option. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach by straight line is Cala Llonga at 2.8 km, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water and a small resort behind it. Talamanca is 4.4 km away, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Eivissa, is 6.1 km straight line, with its 16th-century Renaissance walls, cathedral and views over the port. The Puig des Molins Phoenician-Punic necropolis is 6.7 km away.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 10.5 km straight line, held on Saturdays in season (check current days). The island's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. Many coves and restaurants are easiest to reach by car from Casa Melia, and the free parking on site makes it simple to come and go.

A day from Casa Melia

A day from Casa Melia could start with a swim in the outdoor pool and breakfast on the terrace. Drive the 2.8 km straight line to Cala Llonga for a morning on the sand and a dip in the calm water. From there, continue to Santa Eulària des Riu, a river town with a promenade and marina, for a walk and a lunch of fresh fish or rice at a seaside restaurant.

In the afternoon, head to Dalt Vila in Ibiza Town, 6.1 km from Casa Melia. Walk the Renaissance walls, visit the cathedral at the top and explore the narrow streets. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 6.7 km away and worth a visit. Return to the villa for an evening by the pool or a meal at the on-site restaurant. The countryside setting offers a quiet end to the day.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Casa Melia's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and busier roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (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.
