Hotel Can Sastre

About Hotel Can Sastre

Hotel Can Sastre is a four-star hotel in the Ibiza countryside, set away from the island's resort strips. It suits travellers who want a quiet base within reach of the coast and the towns rather than a room above a busy beach. Couples, families with children and groups of friends who plan to drive will find the position practical, since the main beaches, Ibiza Town and the airport all lie a short drive away.

The property is a hotel rather than a village house or a hostel, graded four stars, and it carries a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 56 reviews. Expect a relaxed stay built around a garden, a terrace and a pool, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served on site. It works as well for a first visit to Ibiza as for a return one.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

The hotel stands in open country, outside the main resort areas, so the setting is fields and lanes rather than a seafront promenade. Ibiza Town and its walled Dalt Vila are 8.1 km away in a straight line, close enough for an evening in the old town and far enough that nights stay quiet. The south coast, the airport and the port all sit on the same side of the island.

A car makes the most sense here. Talamanca bay is 7.6 km away, Cala Llonga 9.5 km, and Cala Salada with Cala Saladeta 11.1 km. Buses and taxis cover the main routes, but the lanes around the hotel are not a place to rely on a frequent service, so check times with the hotel before setting out. In July and August the coast roads fill quickly; in May, June and September the same drives take far less time.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a fan, a desk, a minibar, a refrigerator, a coffee tray, a hairdryer and toiletries, and some come with a balcony, a patio, a bath or a kitchenette. Families can ask about cots, high chairs and sofa beds. Non-smoking rooms are listed, with a smoking area elsewhere in the hotel.

The wider facilities are broad: an outdoor pool and pool bar, a garden and picnic area, a tennis court, a spa with massage, a restaurant, a bar, a business centre and a banquet room. Beauty salon, laundry, dry cleaning, babysitting, concierge and luggage storage services are listed. Breakfast can be taken in the room, and special diets are catered for. Confirm with Hotel Can Sastre which of these run all year and which are seasonal.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 12.5 km from Hotel Can Sastre in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi or a hire car collected at the airport is the simplest way to arrive with luggage. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town and the main resorts, with more lines in summer, and a short taxi ride covers the last stretch. Ask the hotel about current times.

From Ibiza Town port, 8.1 km away in a straight line, ferries run to Formentera (La Savina) and to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for timetables. The port and Dalt Vila sit on the same 8.1 km line, so a crossing and an evening in the old town can be combined. Flights and ferries thin out from November to April, when the island is much quieter.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swimming is at Talamanca, 7.6 km away, a shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, and at Cala Llonga, 9.5 km, a long sheltered inlet. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 11.1 km, are smaller coves on the north-west side. The hotel lists a beach nearby but does not sit on the sand, so plan on a drive to reach the water.

Above Ibiza Town, the Renaissance walls of Dalt Vila are 8.4 km away and the Puig des Molins necropolis 8.6 km; both form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999. Island cooking is built around fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes. Town kitchens and village kitchens both serve them, and the hotel's own restaurant is the closest option.

A day from Hotel Can Sastre

Start with breakfast at Hotel Can Sastre, then drive to Dalt Vila, 8.4 km away, and walk the 16th-century walls and the slope up to the cathedral before the day heats up. Carry on to the Puig des Molins necropolis, 8.6 km from the hotel, for the Phoenician-Punic burials. Both sit above Ibiza Town, so the car can stay in one place for the morning.

In the afternoon, head for the water. Talamanca at 7.6 km is the closest calm bay, and Cala Llonga at 9.5 km is the alternative when the wind comes from the south. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 11.1 km away, suit a later swim and a west-facing sunset. Return to the hotel for dinner, or drive into Ibiza Town for the evening, 8.1 km away.

Practical tips

Hotel Can Sastre sits in countryside where much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter stay. July and August are the peak, with the busiest roads and the fullest beaches; May, June, September and October are calmer. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that vary by category and season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and exempt children under 16; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
