Can Paradís

About Can Paradís

Can Paradís is a hotel set in the countryside of Ibiza, outside the main resort areas. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with the freedom of self-catering facilities, a garden and an outdoor pool. The hotel is not rated with stars, and no guest score is listed, so the stay is judged on its own merits.

The property is equipped for longer stays, with kitchens or kitchenettes, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a barbecue-friendly patio. Families are welcome, and babysitting can be arranged. The setting is rural, yet the distances to Sant Antoni, Ibiza Town and the airport are short enough for day trips across the island.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Can Paradís lies in the countryside between Sant Antoni de Portmany and the interior of Ibiza. Sant Antoni is 4.5 km away as the crow flies, so the bay and its sunset views are a short drive. The area is quiet, with pine woods and farmland around, and no beach is directly at the door. The nearest coastal spots, such as Cala Salada, are about 7.3 km away.

Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila are 9.3 km from the hotel, and the port is 9.7 km. Playa d'en Bossa is 9.7 km away, so a car is useful for exploring. In high summer, the roads to the coast can be busy, but the countryside location offers a calm retreat. In the shoulder months of May and October, the island is quieter, and the hotel's rural setting feels even more peaceful.

Rooms and facilities

The rooms at Can Paradís are listed with air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe, a desk and a balcony or terrace. Each has a kitchen or kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, toaster and dishwasher, which is useful for families or anyone who prefers to cook. Bathrobes, toiletries and a hairdryer are provided, and housekeeping is available.

The hotel lists family rooms and allows pets, so it can work for a range of guests. A cot or extra bed may be possible, but confirm with the property. For late arrivals, the kitchen and the 24-hour security features are practical. There is no on-site restaurant mentioned, so guests plan meals using the kitchen or eat out at nearby villages.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 9.5 km from Can Paradís in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic, and costs a metered fare. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, but the hotel is in the countryside, so a hire car is the most practical option. Free parking is listed on site.

From Ibiza Town port, where ferries arrive from Formentera and the mainland, the hotel is 9.7 km away. Sant Antoni is 4.5 km away, so guests arriving by ferry could take a taxi from the port or hire a car at the airport. Seasonal buses cover the main routes, but they are fewer in winter, and the hotel's rural location means a car is recommended for getting around.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach areas are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, about 7.3 km from the hotel, known for clear water and pine-covered cliffs. Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.5 km away, has a long promenade and a harbour. For a view, climb Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, which is 5.7 km away. The Puig des Molins necropolis, a Phoenician-Punic burial site, is 9.2 km away.

Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila, 9.3 km away, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old town's walls and cathedral are worth a visit. For food, try bullit de peix, a fish stew served in two courses, or arròs a banda, a rice dish. Many restaurants close from November to April, so check opening times in the shoulder season.

A day from Can Paradís

Start the day with breakfast in the kitchen or on the terrace, then drive to Cala Salada, 7.3 km away, for a morning swim. The cove is popular, so arrive early in summer. After a few hours, head to Sant Antoni, 4.5 km away, for lunch at a seafront café or a walk along the promenade.

In the afternoon, drive to Sa Talaia, 5.7 km from the hotel, and walk up the highest point for views across the island. Later, visit Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila, 9.3 km away, to see the cathedral and the Renaissance walls. Return to the hotel for an evening by the pool, using the kitchen for a simple dinner. The distances are short, so the day is relaxed.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Can Paradís about its opening dates before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with higher demand and more traffic. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged by the hotel per person per night; the rate changes with season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
