Costa Ibiza Villas

About Costa Ibiza Villas

Costa Ibiza Villas suits travellers who want a quiet base on the edge of Ibiza Town rather than a resort with a timetable. The address is in Jesús, close to Talamanca, so the bay, the port and the old town sit within a few kilometres. Groups of friends and families who plan to cook some evenings and eat out on others get the most from it. Couples who like their own space fit here too.

Costa Ibiza Villas is listed as an apartment or villa with one star, so the stay is self-catering rather than serviced. The listed fittings point that way: a kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, microwave and fridge, a garden, terraces and an outdoor pool. Travellers who prefer to set their own rhythm, cook breakfast and drive to the coast find it practical. Confirm the layout and the facilities of your particular unit with the property when you book.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, and Costa Ibiza Villas sits 0.8 km from it by straight line, in Jesús. The water stays shallow a long way out. Behind the beach, the marina and the port road lead into Eivissa, and Dalt Vila with its Renaissance walls is 2.5 km from the villas. The surrounding streets are residential and quieter than the club strip at Playa d'en Bossa.

Walking covers the bay and, for confident walkers, the edge of Ibiza Town; the port at 1.9 km and Dalt Vila at 2.5 km are easier by taxi, bus or car, especially in the heat. Playa d'en Bossa is 5.4 km away, so a car makes that trip simple. In July and August the approach roads into Ibiza Town build up through the day. May, June, September and October bring easier roads and a calmer bay.

Rooms and facilities

Inside, the listed facilities cover the practical side of a self-catering stay: kitchen with oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge, coffee making, a minibar, a safe, an iron and board, a hairdryer, toiletries and a bidet. Air conditioning, a balcony and a terrace are listed, along with a garden, a lounge and free internet access in the lounge. There is a TV and an iPod dock. Couples and families can spread out here far more than in a hotel room.

Outside, an outdoor pool, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a fitness centre, a bar or lounge and a picnic area are listed, and Talamanca beach is 0.8 km away. Free car parking matters if you plan to explore the island by road. Cribs are available, so families with a baby can travel lighter, and pets are not allowed. Credit cards are accepted. Ask Costa Ibiza Villas which facilities belong to your unit, whether the pool and jacuzzi are private or shared, and how check-in works.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits in Sant Josep, about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, and the straight-line distance from it to Costa Ibiza Villas is 9 km. A taxi is quickest with luggage, and a hire car gives you the free parking space the property lists. Buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for current routes.

The port of Ibiza Town, where ferries arrive from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, is 1.9 km from the villas by straight line, a short taxi ride. Talamanca bay lies 0.8 km off and Playa d'en Bossa 5.4 km. Flights and sailings are fewer in winter and seasonal buses stop, so a car helps outside summer. Ask the property about the last streets into Jesús, which are residential.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Talamanca bay is the nearest swim, 0.8 km from Costa Ibiza Villas, calm and shallow across the marina from Ibiza Town. Playa d'en Bossa, 5.4 km off, is the long sandy stretch with the big clubs behind it. Dalt Vila is 2.4 km for the walk along the Renaissance walls, with the cathedral at the top; the fortified upper town forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 3.2 km away.

The dunes and salt pans of Ses Salines Natural Park are 11.1 km away by straight line, a drive south past the salt works, among juniper and sand. Island cooking is built around fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, rice first and then the fish with potatoes. For an evening meal, Talamanca is 0.8 km from the villas and Ibiza Town 2.5 km, so nothing needs a long transfer.

A day from Costa Ibiza Villas

Start with a swim at Talamanca, 0.8 km from Costa Ibiza Villas, before the bay fills in high summer. Take a taxi or drive the 2.4 km to Dalt Vila and walk the walls in the morning cool, with the cathedral at the top and the port below. Come down into Ibiza Town, 2.5 km from the villas, for coffee and a slow hour. The Puig des Molins necropolis, 3.2 km away, fills another hour for anyone interested in the island's Phoenician past.

After lunch, drive the 11.1 km to the Ses Salines dunes and salt pans for a flat walk among the juniper, or head 5.4 km to Playa d'en Bossa for a longer beach afternoon. Return to the villas for the pool and the terrace as the light drops. Dinner is close by: the Talamanca bay area is 0.8 km away and Ibiza Town 2.5 km. A car makes the afternoon legs easiest; taxis cover the short hops.

Practical tips

Much of the island's tourism business, including many beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, so ask Costa Ibiza Villas which months it opens and whether the pool and outdoor facilities run all year. A Balearic levy, the ecotasa or sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with category and season, fall in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
