Villa Albaladejo

About Villa Albaladejo

Villa Albaladejo is a self-catering villa in the Talamanca area of Ibiza, set back from the coast. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with a pool and parking, close enough to Ibiza Town for easy evenings out. The villa is not rated with stars and has no guest score, so the stay depends on your own judgement of the listed facilities.

The property is a single villa rather than a hotel, so you get more space and independence. With air conditioning, a balcony, free Wi-Fi and an outdoor pool, it works for couples and small families who prefer to cook and come and go on their own schedule. Pets are allowed, which is useful for those travelling with a dog.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. It is a residential area with a long sandy beach and a promenade, quieter than the south coast but still close to the island's main sights. Villa Albaladejo is 2.3 km from Talamanca beach in a straight line, so you are not on the seafront but within easy reach of the water.

Ibiza Town port is 3.2 km away, and Dalt Vila and the old town are 3.7 km. You can walk or cycle to the marina in about half an hour, or drive in a few minutes. A car is useful for exploring further afield, as the villa has free parking. In high summer, the area gets busy but remains calmer than Playa d'en Bossa; in the shoulder months of May and October, it is peaceful and easy to park.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with air conditioning, a balcony, free Wi-Fi, a safe and an outdoor pool. These are the facilities you can expect, but the exact layout of bedrooms and living space is not specified. For couples, the balcony and pool offer a private spot for breakfast or an evening drink. Families will find the self-catering setup practical, with space to spread out.

Pets are allowed, so you can bring a dog, but confirm any conditions with the property in advance. Free car parking is included, which is a real advantage in an area where street parking can be tight. Late arrivals should check the check-in process, as there is no reception desk; the property will arrange key collection. Confirm the pool opening dates if you travel outside summer.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 10.1 km away in a straight line. A taxi takes about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic, or you can hire a car at the airport and drive. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town and the south beaches, but they do not serve Talamanca directly, so you would need to change or walk from the port. A hire car is the most convenient option, given the free parking.

If you arrive by ferry, the port is 3.2 km from the villa. From the port, a taxi is quick, or you can walk along the marina and the coast path in about 40 minutes. In summer, buses connect Ibiza Town with Talamanca, but services are less frequent in winter. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April, so check schedules before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Talamanca, 2.3 km away, a long stretch of sand with shallow water, good for families. Cala Llonga is 5.6 km away, a sheltered inlet with a village and a beach. For a change of scene, Dalt Vila's walls are 3.8 km away, and the Puig des Molins necropolis is 4.4 km. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 12.2 km, a Saturday outing in season.

Ibiza's food is based on fish and rice. Bullit de peix, a fish stew served in two courses, and arròs a banda are local specialities. You will find restaurants serving these in Ibiza Town and along the Talamanca promenade, but the villa's kitchen is also well suited to cooking your own meals with market produce. The nearest shops are in Talamanca or Ibiza Town.

A day from Villa Albaladejo

Start the morning at the villa with breakfast on the balcony. Drive the 2.3 km to Talamanca beach for a swim in the calm bay before the heat builds. Then head to Ibiza Town, 3.2 km away, and park near the port. Walk up into Dalt Vila, 3.7 km from the villa, and explore the 16th-century walls and the cathedral at the top. The views over the harbour are worth the climb.

For lunch, find a place in the old town or return to the villa for a quiet meal by the pool. In the afternoon, drive to Cala Llonga, 5.6 km away, for a sheltered swim. In the evening, go back to Ibiza Town for dinner, then walk along the marina. If you are here on a Saturday, consider a longer drive to Las Dalias market, 12.2 km away, for a later afternoon visit.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the villa's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the busiest beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current amount with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
