Ca Na Beneta

About Ca Na Beneta

Ca Na Beneta is a hotel in the inland countryside of Ibiza, near the village of Sant Rafel de sa Creu. It is not a resort hotel: it has no beachfront and no star rating. The property lists a garden, an outdoor pool, a terrace and free car parking. It suits travellers who prefer a quiet, car-based stay over a coastal walk-out location.

The hotel is not rated by stars and has no guest score in the listing. It offers a long list of facilities including a kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator, iron and board, hairdryer, safe, smoke detector, cot and high chairs. There is free wifi and internet access, a DVD player and a TV. It is a self-contained option for families or groups who want to cook and relax on site.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Ca Na Beneta sits in the countryside outside Sant Rafel de sa Creu, a small village in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany. The area is inland, with low hills and dry stone walls. It is about 7.2 km straight line from Sant Antoni de Portmany and 7.2 km from Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town. The location is central: you are roughly the same distance from the west coast, the south coast and the capital.

In high summer the roads around Sant Rafel get busy with traffic heading to the coast. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the countryside is quieter and the roads easier. The hotel is not within walking distance of a beach or a town centre. A car is needed for almost everything: shopping, eating out, visiting coves or going to the airport. The garden and pool become the main outdoor space on site.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel lists a wide set of facilities but does not describe the number or type of rooms. The listed equipment includes a kitchen, oven, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker, washing machine, iron and board, hairdryer, safe and smoke detector. There is a cot and high chairs, which suggests the property can accommodate families with babies or toddlers. A bath and a bidet are listed, as are non-smoking rooms.

For late arrivals the self-catering kitchen and the free parking are useful. The presence of a TV, DVD player and free wifi means entertainment is available on site. Guests should confirm with Ca Na Beneta exactly which room types are available, how many bathrooms there are and whether the kitchen is shared or private. The listed facilities are a guide: check current details with the property before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 9.8 km straight line from Ca Na Beneta. A taxi from the airport takes about 15-20 minutes by road. A hire car collected at the airport is the most practical option for reaching the hotel, because the property is inland and not on a main bus route. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, but they do not stop at Sant Rafel de sa Creu. You would need a taxi or a car from the nearest bus stop.

Ibiza Town port is 7.4 km straight line from the hotel. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 7.2 km straight line and has some mainland ferry routes in season. In winter flights and ferries are fewer. Check the island bus operator for seasonal services; a hire car is the most reliable way to reach and explore from Ca Na Beneta.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Ca Na Beneta's opening dates directly. July and August are the peak months with the hottest weather and the busiest roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
