Villa Topaz

About Villa Topaz

Villa Topaz is a self-catering villa in the countryside of Ibiza, outside the main resort areas. It suits travellers who want a private base with a kitchen, a terrace and a pool, away from the busier coastal strips. The property is not rated for stars and has no guest score listed; it offers a straightforward stay for couples or families who prefer to cook and drive to the beach.

The villa sits on Carrer Del Ginebre, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, but closer to Ibiza Town than to the east-coast resorts. The straight-line distance to Ibiza Airport is 10.3 km, and to Ibiza Town port it is 3.8 km. Talamanca beach is 2.9 km away, and Dalt Vila is 4.1 km. The location feels rural and quiet, with a car essential for most outings.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Villa Topaz is in a rural setting on the outskirts of Santa Eulària des Riu, a municipality that runs from the coast inland. The immediate area is quiet, with fields and scattered houses, and no nightlife or commercial centre within walking distance. The nearest beach is Talamanca, 2.9 km straight line, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town centre are 4.1 km away, reachable by car in about ten minutes. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet, is 6.1 km straight line.

In high summer, the roads to Ibiza Town and Talamanca can be busy, but the villa itself stays peaceful. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is quieter and the temperatures are milder. A car is necessary for shopping, dining and sightseeing; there is free parking on the property. The villa is not on a bus route, so taxis or a hire car are the practical options.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Topaz is a self-contained villa, not a hotel with multiple rooms. The listed facilities include a kitchen with an oven, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker, plus a washing machine, air conditioning, a TV, free WiFi, a balcony, a patio and a terrace. There is also an outdoor pool. The property is listed as non-smoking. For families, a cot is available, but you should confirm the number of bedrooms and the layout directly with the property.

The villa is suited to couples or small families who want to cater for themselves. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and the terrace and patio provide outdoor space. There is no on-site restaurant or reception; check-in arrangements and key collection should be confirmed with the owner or management in advance. The property does not list a safe, so keep valuables secured.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 10.3 km straight line from Villa Topaz. A taxi from the airport takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. A hire car is the most flexible option, and the villa has free parking. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària des Riu, but the nearest stop is not within walking distance of the villa, so you would need a taxi from the bus stop. Flights and buses are fewer in winter.

From Ibiza Town port, the villa is 3.8 km straight line. If you arrive by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia, a taxi from the port is quick. Talamanca is 2.9 km away, and Dalt Vila is 4.1 km. In summer, there are more buses on the island, but the villa is best reached by car or taxi. Check the ferry operators for current timetables, especially outside the main season.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Villa Topaz whether it is open in the months you plan to travel. July and August are the peak, with the hottest weather, the busiest roads and the highest prices. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of property, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
