About Vibra Caleta Playa Apartamentos

Vibra Caleta Playa Apartamentos suits travellers who want a self-catering base close to Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca. The apartments come with a kitchen or kitchenette, so you can prepare your own meals, and the outdoor pool and pool bar provide a place to relax after a day out. The property is not rated for stars and has no guest score listed.

This is an apartment-style stay, not a full-service hotel. The listed facilities include air conditioning, free WiFi, a terrace and a garden. There is a kids' pool and a playground, which makes it practical for families. A 24-hour front desk and luggage storage are available for late arrivals or early departures.

Location: Ciutadella

Vibra Caleta Playa Apartamentos is on the Carrer Del Signe Lleó, about 2.2 km straight line from the centre of Ciutadella. Ciutadella has a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port where people gather for sunsets. The old town is walkable, though the 2.2 km is a straight-line distance, so the actual route by road may be longer. A car or taxi makes the trip easier, especially with shopping or luggage.

In high summer, the area around Ciutadella is busy with visitors exploring the coves and the old town. The shoulder months of May, June and September are quieter, with fewer crowds and milder temperatures. The property is not on the beachfront, but the south coast coves such as Cala Turqueta are within a short drive.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker. Rooms have air conditioning, a TV, a radio, a safe, a hairdryer and toiletries. Balconies or terraces are listed, and some units may have a sea view, though this is not guaranteed. Families can request a cot.

The property has non-smoking rooms and family rooms. The 24-hour front desk means you can check in late. Confirm with Vibra Caleta Playa Apartamentos whether the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and whether the balcony or terrace is private. The listed facilities include a laundry service and a wake-up service.
