Can Martona

About Can Martona

Can Martona suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibizan countryside rather than a resort strip. The three-star hotel sits on the road to Benimussa, outside the main resort areas, and its garden, terrace and outdoor pool give a place to slow down between outings. Couples touring the west coast by car, and families who prefer space and free parking to a town-centre address, are the most obvious fit.

This is a three-star hotel stay with a rural address and a garden setting. The listed facilities include free wifi, free car parking, a garden, a lounge, a terrace and an outdoor pool, with wheelchair access. Days revolve around the pool and the drives out, rather than a lobby bar or a promenade. Confirm arrival arrangements at Can Martona and the room details directly with the property before travelling.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Can Martona stands on the Camí de Benimussa, in the countryside between Sant Antoni de Portmany and the hills inland. This is the rural side of western Ibiza: small lanes, stone walls, fields and pine woods, with the bay down the hill. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 2.9 km away in a straight line, close enough for shops and the port, far enough for quiet nights.

A car is the practical way to reach the coast and the villages, as no beach is within walking reach of Can Martona. Cala Comte is 8.2 km away in a straight line and Cala d'Hort 11.2 km, both across the western lanes. In high summer those coves fill early, so mornings are easier. In May, June, September and October the same drives are calm, and the pool at Can Martona becomes the centre of the afternoon.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities listed for Can Martona read like a practical countryside base. Couples get a garden, a terrace and an outdoor pool for slow afternoons, with free wifi for planning the next day's drive. Families benefit from free car parking and wheelchair access, and the lounge gives a shared indoor space when the weather turns. Late arrivals should confirm the arrival window with Can Martona before travelling.

Can Martona is a three-star hotel rather than a resort, so confirm the details that matter before booking: the room type, whether the room opens to the garden or the terrace, the pool hours, and whether parking needs reserving. Check-in and check-out times are worth agreeing with the property in advance. Guests who need step-free access should confirm the route from the car park to the room, as wheelchair access is listed.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 10.5 km from Can Martona in a straight line. The simplest arrival is a hire car collected at the airport, which then covers the lanes to the beaches for the rest of the stay. Without a car, take an airport bus toward Sant Antoni de Portmany and then a taxi for the final 2.9 km; ask Can Martona about the best drop-off point on the Camí de Benimussa.

Ibiza Town port, where ferries from La Savina, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia arrive, is 11.7 km from Can Martona in a straight line. From the port, head around the bay to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.9 km from the hotel, by taxi or by car collected in town. Seasonal west-coast buses run in summer with fewer services in winter; check the island bus operator and confirm the nearest stop with Can Martona.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves are on the west coast. Cala Comte, 8.2 km from Can Martona measured in a straight line, has shallow water and islets offshore, and draws a late-afternoon crowd for the sunset. Cala d'Hort is 11.2 km away, facing Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high in a nature reserve with no landing. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 6 km away, and Sant Antoni de Portmany 2.9 km.

Inland, the climb to Sa Talaia begins 4.8 km from Can Martona; at about 475 m, it is the highest point on Ibiza and gives a full view of the west coast. Island cooking is built on fish, and bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the dishes to look for, with the fish stew served in two courses. Village kitchens and seasonal beach bars along this coast serve them; ask Can Martona what is open nearby.

A day from Can Martona

Start early with the short drive to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 2.9 km from Can Martona, for coffee and supplies before the coast roads fill. Then take the lanes to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 6 km away, for a morning swim in clear water. Return to Can Martona for the pool and shade in the garden during the hottest hours, as the terraces are the point of staying inland at midday.

In the afternoon, drive 4.8 km to the start of the Sa Talaia climb and walk to the summit at about 475 m for the long view west. Finish at Cala Comte, 8.2 km from Can Martona, where the sun sets over the islets, or at Cala d'Hort, 11.2 km away, for the sight of Es Vedrà turning dark. Return along the lanes to Can Martona for a nightcap on the terrace.

Practical tips

Can Martona works best in the warmer half of the year, when the west coast is fully open. Many Ibiza hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, so check Can Martona's own opening dates before booking, and expect the highest demand in July and August. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added to the bill at Can Martona for each person and night, with rates that vary by season and category, a reduction for longer stays, and exemption for children under 16; confirm current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
