Villa Noe is just a short drive from the village of San Jose. Set about ten minutes inland, off Ibiza’s western coast, it’s a slow-paced, traditional and charming village. Despite its popularity with ex-pats and visitors, it retains its personality and traditions.
There is locally produced food and craft market every Saturday in the main square, but the streets offer up good quality shops all week round, for clothes, shoes and gifts. Look out for tapas restaurants serving delicious lunches, sometimes without a menu, so follow the locals’ lead! When in Ibiza…
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches in this part of the island. Many on this stretch of the western coast are smaller and quieter. Cala Conta is a collection of several such sandy gems, where calm, sheltered bays provide perfect conditions for swimming in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
Don your mask and snorkel for exploring the underwater world around the islets just offshore, or the shallow waters around the coves. The sand is gorgeous, and there are enough facilities, bars and restaurants to help everyone stay all day.
Ibizan sunsets are supposed to be at their most beautiful here. Book a table at a beachfront restaurant and treat yourself to dinner as the sky changes from blue to pink.
Nowhere is far on Ibiza, so if you fancy a taste of the world-famous bar and beach-club scene, head around the coast to San Antonio Bay or across the island to Ibiza Town.
The next morning, as you relax in the cool shade on your secluded terrace, nestled amongst the hills of Sa Talaia, you’ll be transported back to the peaceful haven that is Villa Noe. Enjoy.
