Can Beia Hostal Boutique

About Can Beia Hostal Boutique

Can Beia Hostal Boutique suits travellers who want a simple base in the middle of Sant Antoni de Portmany rather than a resort with a full programme. The property is a two-star hostal on Carrer De La Soletat, 0.3 km from the town centre and its west-facing bay. Couples on a short break, friends touring the island by car and families who need a pool between beach trips all fit the same brief here.

This is a small-scale stay rather than a large hotel. The listed facilities include air conditioning, free wifi, a safe and a refrigerator, which cover the practical side of a summer holiday, plus an outdoor pool, a solarium and a terrace for the hours when the beach is too hot. Two stars and a central address are the pitch: you book it for the position, the parking and the pool, not for extra services.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Sant Antoni de Portmany sits on a bay that faces due west, and Can Beia Hostal Boutique is 0.3 km from the centre of it. The north shore of the bay is the sunset strip, where people gather in the evening. The town is one of the five municipalities of Ibiza and works as a base for the whole west coast. In July and August the promenade and the streets behind it are busy from afternoon until late.

Walking covers the town itself: the harbour, the bay and the shops are within a few minutes of the door. For the beaches and the hills, a car or a seasonal bus makes sense. The nearest coves, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, are 2.8 km away, Cala Comte is 7.1 km, Cala d'Hort is 12.5 km, and the climb to Sa Talaia starts about 7.3 km from the hostal. In May, June and September the same roads are far quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Guest rooms at Can Beia Hostal Boutique include air conditioning, a television, a refrigerator, a safe and a balcony in the facilities list, and bathrooms with a bath, a hairdryer and toiletries. Non-smoking rooms are available, and a cot can be requested for a family. The outdoor pool, the solarium and the terrace are the shared spaces, and there is a lift to the floors. Late arrivals can use the 24-hour front desk.

Parking and a garage are part of the offer, which matters in a town where summer parking is tight. There is a car rental service at the property, luggage storage, laundry service, housekeeping, cleaning and a concierge, plus first aid and security features including smoke detectors. Pets are allowed. Confirm the pet policy, the cot, the parking arrangement and any pool opening times with Can Beia Hostal Boutique before booking, since these change with the season.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 13.7 km from Can Beia Hostal Boutique in a straight line, on the far side of the island's south-west corner. The transfer by taxi or hire car is short; buses from the airport serve Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator. Hiring at the airport and parking in the hostal garage removes the evening search for a space in town.

Ibiza Town port is 14.4 km away in a straight line, and ferries leave from there for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 0.3 km from the door, so the town is on foot. Coming from elsewhere on the island, Cala Comte is 7.1 km and Cala d'Hort 12.5 km. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, and some seasonal buses stop running, so check timetables before a low-season trip to Can Beia Hostal Boutique.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.8 km from Can Beia Hostal Boutique, are the closest coves for a swim, and Cala Comte, 7.1 km away, is known for shallow water, islets offshore and the sunset. The cove at Cala d'Hort is 12.5 km from the hostal; from there the view takes in Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve with no landing. Es Vedrà sits inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park.

Food on Ibiza runs to fish and rice: the island's fish stew, bullit de peix, comes in two courses and is often followed by arròs a banda, and fresh fish with rice dishes fills the rest of the menu. In Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.3 km from Can Beia Hostal Boutique, the harbour side and the streets inland have plenty of places to eat, and the town stays open for much of the year. The north shore of the bay is where the sunset crowd gathers.

A day from Can Beia Hostal Boutique

Start early with the 2.8 km drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, which are small and fill quickly in high summer. Return to Sant Antoni de Portmany, 0.3 km from Can Beia Hostal Boutique, for lunch and a swim in the pool during the hottest hours. In the afternoon take the 7.1 km run to Cala Comte, where the water is shallow and the islets sit offshore, and stay for sunset over the bay's west-facing horizon.

A second morning can go to Cala d'Hort, 12.5 km from the hostal, for the view of Es Vedrà from the cove, or to the path up Sa Talaia about 7.3 km away, the island's highest point at roughly 475 m. Drive back through Sant Antoni de Portmany and eat late in the town, then walk the 0.3 km from Can Beia Hostal Boutique to the bay for the evening.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates for Can Beia Hostal Boutique before booking a winter trip. July and August bring the peak crowds to Sant Antoni de Portmany and its bay, while May, June, September and October are calmer and still warm. The accommodation charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night; the rate depends on the type and category of the property and the season, children under 16 are exempt, and current rates sit on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
