Can Vinyes

About Can Vinyes

Can Vinyes suits travellers who want a quiet base away from the coast. The hotel is not on the beachfront, so it works for those who prefer to drive to the coves and return to a calm garden and terrace at the end of the day. The property is unrated and has no guest score, so it appeals to independent visitors who book on location and facilities rather than a star rating.

This is a small hotel set in the countryside of Ibiza, outside the main resort areas. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a garden, a lounge and a terrace. Free car parking is listed, which makes it practical for guests with a hire car. The hotel is not beachfront: the nearest coast is Sant Antoni de Portmany, 7.5 km away by straight line.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Can Vinyes is in the rural interior of Ibiza, in the Diseminado Forca S. Mateu area. The nearest town is Sant Antoni de Portmany, 7.5 km away by straight line. Sant Antoni is a west-coast resort with a long bay, a promenade and a sunset strip. The hotel is not within walking distance of any village or beach, so a car or taxi is needed for everything. The countryside around is quiet, with pine woods and agricultural land.

In high summer, the inland location is cooler than the coast at night, and the pool and garden offer a private retreat. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the roads are quieter and the hotel feels even more secluded. Ibiza Town and its port are 11.4 km away, and the airport is 14.6 km away, so the hotel is central enough for day trips across the island.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel lists free Wi-Fi, a safe, a sofa bed and a terrace. There is a lift, which helps with luggage. The rooms are not described in detail, so guests should confirm the exact layout when booking. The sofa bed suggests that some rooms can sleep a child or a third adult. Babysitting service is listed, which is useful for families who want an evening out.

Cleaning is included. Pets are not allowed. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, which is rare in rural Ibiza. Guests arriving late should check the check-in procedure with the property, as no times are given. The outdoor pool is likely open in the warmer months, but guests should confirm the season with the hotel.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 14.6 km away by straight line. A taxi takes about 20 minutes on the main roads. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the whole stay, and the hotel offers free car parking. In summer, buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, but the hotel is not on a bus route, so a taxi or car is the only option from the bus stop.

Ibiza Town port is 11.4 km away, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 7.5 km away. Ferry passengers arriving from Formentera or the mainland can take a taxi from either port. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and the hotel's opening dates should be checked directly. The hotel is not on a seasonal bus line, so a hire car is strongly recommended outside the summer months.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest listed beach is Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 8.2 km away by straight line. These are two small coves north of Sant Antoni, with clear water and pine trees. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 7.5 km away, with its bay, promenade and restaurants. Ibiza Town and its Dalt Vila walled old town are 11.4 km away, and the Puig des Molins necropolis is 11.8 km away.

For food, Ibiza's traditional dishes include bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses. Many restaurants in Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town serve fresh fish and rice dishes. The hotel does not list an on-site restaurant, so guests will need to drive or take a taxi for meals. The nearest shops and supermarkets are in Sant Antoni.

A day from Can Vinyes

A day from Can Vinyes could start with breakfast on the terrace, then a drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 8.2 km away. These coves are popular, so arriving early is wise. After a swim, drive to Sant Antoni de Portmany for lunch at a seafront restaurant. The afternoon could be spent at the hotel pool, or visiting the Dalt Vila walls in Ibiza Town, 11.4 km away.

In the evening, drive back to Sant Antoni for a walk along the promenade and dinner. The sunset can be seen from the west-facing shore. Alternatively, stay at the hotel and use the garden and lounge. The distances are short enough for a relaxed day, and the free parking at the hotel means no rush to return.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and warmer sea temperatures. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
