Colònia de Sant Jordi is a small, quiet village, so choosing where to sleep is easier than it looks: almost everything is close. Even so, there are real differences between types of accommodation and areas, and between overpaying on a platform or booking well. This is the honest guide to getting it right without wasting time.
- Apartment: the most practical for several days — kitchen, terrace, space and a better price.
- Hotel: handy if you want reception, breakfast and daily cleaning, in exchange for less space.
- Villa with pool: for families or groups who want privacy (in Ses Salines).
- Area: near the village and the beach, to do everything on foot.
- Price: book direct with the owner and skip the commission (on our site, −5%).

Apartment, hotel or villa: which suits you
In Colònia you’ll find mostly apartments, the odd villa with a pool and a few hotels. There’s no single “best” for everyone; it depends on who you’re travelling with and for how many days:

| Type | Pros | Cons | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment | Kitchen, terrace, more space, better price per night | No reception or daily cleaning | Couples and families, several days |
| Hotel | Reception, breakfast, daily cleaning | Less space, pricier per m² | Short breaks, zero hassle |
| Villa | Privacy, own pool, plenty of space | Pricier; usually needs a car | Groups and large families |
For a stay of several days, the apartment usually wins on comfort and price: you cook when you like, dry the towel on your own terrace and have real space. The hotel is honestly better if you value breakfast made for you and your room cleaned daily. And if you’re a big group after a pool and privacy, a villa is the top choice.
Which area to stay in
Being a small village, almost everything is within reach, but ideally you stay near the village and the beach: that way you live on foot and forget the car during the day, which in summer is what you’ll appreciate most. Ses Salines, right next door (about 5 km), is even quieter and perfect for switching off, but there a car helps. Wherever you are, keep a supermarket and somewhere to park nearby.

How to get the best price
First decide who you’re travelling with (couple or small family → apartment; big group → villa) and prioritise a location near the beach. For the price, the old rule holds: book direct with the owner and you skip the commission the platforms charge. Always compare the price on the property’s own website before booking on Booking or Airbnb —it’s often cheaper for the same apartment—. And in July and August, book early: the good options go fast.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of accommodation is there in Colònia de Sant Jordi?
Mostly apartments, the odd villa with a pool, and a few hotels. For stays of several days, an apartment is usually the best comfort-to-price ratio; a hotel wins if you want reception and daily cleaning, a villa if you’re after privacy and your own pool.
