Can Mossènyer

About Can Mossènyer

Can Mossènyer suits travellers who want a self-catering base in Sant Antoni de Portmany, with the independence of a kitchenette or full kitchen and the convenience of a 24-hour front desk. The hotel is not rated for stars and has no guest score; it offers a practical stay for those who prefer to cook, keep laundry on site and have a garden and terrace for relaxing between outings.

The property is on Avenida Isidoro Macabich, a main road just under a kilometre from the centre of Sant Antoni. It has a saltwater outdoor pool, free car parking and a garage, plus facilities that include a washing machine, iron and board, and a cot and high chairs for families. The stay here is about having a home base with room to spread out, rather than a resort with on-site dining or entertainment.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Can Mossènyer is in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the west coast of Ibiza. Sant Antoni bay faces due west, and the north shore is known as the sunset strip. The hotel is 0.6 km straight line from the town centre, so you can walk to the shops, cafés and the seafront in about ten minutes. The area is built up and busy in summer, with a promenade, a marina and a long beach. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, Sant Antoni is quieter but most services remain open.

The hotel has its own free car parking and a garage, which is useful because many of the best coves need a car. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 2.5 km straight line away, and Cala Comte is 6.9 km. The airport is 14 km straight line, and Ibiza Town port is 14.7 km. A car lets you reach the quieter north coast coves and the interior easily, but the town itself is walkable and local buses serve the main routes in summer.

Confirm with the hotel which room type you are booking, whether the kitchen is a full kitchen or a kitchenette, and whether the balcony or patio is private or shared.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 14 km straight line from Can Mossènyer. A taxi takes about 20 minutes. Buses run from the airport to Sant Antoni in summer; check the island bus operator for current timetables, as services are fewer from November to April. A hire car collected at the airport gives you the most flexibility for exploring the island, and the hotel has free parking and a garage.

From Ibiza Town port, the distance is 14.7 km straight line. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni itself has some mainland ferry routes in season. If you arrive by ferry, a taxi from the port to the hotel takes about 20 minutes. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules in advance.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The closest beaches are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 2.5 km straight line away, a pair of coves with clear water and pine woods. Cala Comte, 6.9 km away, has shallow clear water and islets offshore, and is a popular sunset spot. Cala d'Hort, 12.4 km away, faces the islet of Es Vedrà, a limestone rock about 380 m high and a nature reserve where nobody lands. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 7.5 km away and gives views over the whole island.

Sant Antoni town centre, 0.6 km away, has a promenade, a marina, shops and cafés. Local food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. The sunset strip on the north shore of the bay is a short walk or drive. For a longer trip, the hippy market at Es Canar (Wednesdays in season) and Las Dalias at Sant Carles (Saturdays) are within an hour by car.

A day from Can Mossènyer

Start the morning at Can Mossènyer with coffee from the kitchen, then drive 2.5 km to Cala Salada for a swim before the crowds arrive. The cove is sheltered and the water is clear. After a couple of hours, head back to the hotel for lunch on the terrace or use the kitchen to prepare a picnic. In the afternoon, drive 7.5 km to Sa Talaia and climb to the top for the island views. The walk is short but steep.

In the late afternoon, drive 6.9 km to Cala Comte for the sunset. The cove faces west and has shallow water and islets offshore. After dark, return to Sant Antoni, 0.6 km from the hotel, for a walk along the promenade or a meal in town. The hotel's garden and pool are a quiet option if you prefer to stay in. The 24-hour front desk means you can come back at any hour.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Can Mossènyer's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and highest demand. A 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 is reduced for longer stays. Children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
