Hostal Alocs

About Hostal Alocs

Hostal Alocs is a 1-star guesthouse on the north coast of Ibiza, near the sandy bay of Cala Sant Vicent. It suits travellers who want a simple, no-frills base for exploring the quieter side of the island. The guesthouse has a restaurant and bar on site, free car parking and free Wi-Fi, making it practical for those arriving by hire car.

The property is listed as a hostal, the Spanish term for a budget guesthouse. It does not have a guest score reported. Rooms are basic and functional, aimed at guests who plan to spend most of their time out and about rather than at the accommodation.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Hostal Alocs is in the Playa Es Figueral area, on the north-east coast of Ibiza. The nearest named bay is Cala Sant Vicent, a deep sandy bay closed in by green hills, about 2.3 km away in a straight line. This part of the island is quieter than the south and west, with pine-ringed coves and a more relaxed pace. The village of Sant Carles de Peralta is about 5 km away, and Es Canar is roughly 6 km south along the coast.

In high summer, the area gets busier but remains less crowded than Playa d'en Bossa or Sant Antoni. The shoulder months of May, June, September and October are quieter, with mild weather and fewer visitors. A hire car is useful for reaching the coves and markets, as the nearest bus stops are limited; check the island bus operator for current routes.

Rooms and facilities

Hostal Alocs offers basic guesthouse rooms. Facilities listed include family rooms, a safe, free Wi-Fi and internet access. The property has a terrace, a bar and a restaurant. There is also a laundry service and cleaning provided. Guests should confirm the exact room type and any specific needs directly with the hostal.

For families, the family rooms can accommodate groups. Late arrivals should check the check-in times with the hostal, as reception may not be staffed around the clock. Rooms are not listed as having air conditioning, so confirm this with the property if travelling in the warmer months.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 27.6 km away in a straight line from Hostal Alocs. By road, the distance is longer. A taxi from the airport takes roughly 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic. A hire car gives more flexibility for exploring the north coast; several rental agencies operate at the airport. Seasonal buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, but a direct bus to Cala Sant Vicent is limited; check the island bus operator for summer services.

Ibiza Town port is about 20.6 km straight line from the hostal. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the port, a taxi or hire car is the most practical way to reach the hostal. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus routes may not run; plan ahead.
