Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde

About Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde

Out on Ibiza's northern coast, Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde is a four-star base for travellers who want the quieter side of the island rather than the club strip. Couples who walk, families with children and anyone who prefers a bay and pine slopes to a long promenade of bars fit here. The hotel takes its address from Playa Des Figueral, with the beach nearby rather than at the door, and the small village of Es Figueral close at hand.

This is a club-style, four-star stay with a guest score of 4.4/5 from 1314 reviews, which suits holidaymakers who like a full programme of facilities on site. The listed amenities run from an outdoor pool, a kids pool and a pool bar to a spa, a fitness centre, a tennis court and archery. Days can pass without leaving the grounds, which is useful when the north coast wind picks up.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Es Figueral sits on Ibiza's northern coast, outside the main resort areas, and Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde takes its address from Playa Des Figueral. This is the quieter end of the island: small coves, wooded slopes and low-rise buildings rather than a long seafront. Cala Sant Vicent, a sheltered northern bay, is 2.7 km away in a straight line, and Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town of any size, is 9 km off.

The bay at Playa Des Figueral is close by, and the village of Es Figueral can be covered on foot. For anywhere else, plan on a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus, since the airport is 27.5 km away in a straight line and Ibiza Town port 20.5 km. July and August bring the crowds and the fullest car parks. May, June, September and October are calmer, with more space on the sand and easier tables in the evening.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to use the quieter corners: a balcony or terrace, the solarium, and the spa and fitness centre. Families have more to work with, because the listed facilities include family rooms, a kids pool, a playground, a sofa bed option and sports such as tennis, table tennis, darts and archery. Late arrivals can rely on the 24-hour front desk, 24-hour security, luggage storage and a wake-up service.

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a bath, a hairdryer, toiletries, a bathrobe and slippers, a minibar, a safe, a desk, a TV and a telephone, and non-smoking categories are available. Special diets are noted among the dining facilities, alongside restaurants, a bar and a lounge. Confirm with Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde which room types include the sofa bed, whether the balcony or terrace looks over the garden, and how a special diet request should be passed on before arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies in Sant Josep, 27.5 km from Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde in a straight line, so the road route is longer. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the simplest option with luggage, while a hire car collected at the airport gives freedom for the rest of the stay, and the hotel lists both a car rental service and parking. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for the connection north.

By sea, arrivals reach Ibiza Town port, 20.5 km from the hotel in a straight line, with ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; Sant Antoni also has mainland routes in season. A taxi or hire car covers the last stretch north. Santa Eulària des Riu is 9 km off, Cala Sant Vicent 2.7 km and Es Canar 5.6 km. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm timetables with the operators and the hotel before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swimming is the bay at Playa Des Figueral, below the hotel. Cala Sant Vicent, 2.7 km away, is a sheltered northern inlet, and Es Canar, 5.6 km off, is a family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Santa Eulària des Riu, 9 km distant, has a promenade, a marina and a river running down to the sea. Kayaking along the north coast calas begins around 5.2 km from Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde.

On Saturdays the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, 5.2 km from the hotel, draws the north of the island; current days are worth checking, and both markets are seasonal. Food follows the coast here. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the island's fish stew, served in two courses, and fresh fish with rice dishes fills the rest of the menu. The posidonia meadows offshore keep the water clear.

A day from Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde

Start early with a swim in the bay at Es Figueral before the sun is high, then drive the short distance to Cala Sant Vicent, 2.7 km away, for a second cove and a walk along the water. A car or a taxi makes the difference here: the north coast calas used for kayaking are about 5.2 km from Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde, and roadside parking fills quickly in August.

Spend the afternoon at the pool, on the tennis court or in the spa, then head to Santa Eulària des Riu, 9 km off, for the promenade and the marina. On a Saturday the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles, 5.2 km away, works well late in the day. Dinner at the hotel and a drink on the terrace round it off, and the 24-hour front desk makes a late return straightforward.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business, including many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, so check Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde's opening dates before booking a winter stay. July and August are the peak. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, widely called the ecotasa, appears on the bill for each night of the stay; the amount depends on the accommodation category and the season, is lower in low season and on longer stays, and children under 16 do not pay. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rates.
