Hostal Can Jurat

About Hostal Can Jurat

Hostal Can Jurat suits travellers who want a simple base on Ibiza's west coast. The guesthouse holds two stars and stands on Street Miguel Angel in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.3 km from the town centre. Couples who plan to spend the day in the coves and the evening watching the sun drop into the bay will find the position practical, and families appreciate the outdoor pool, the terrace and the free car parking. The 24 hour front desk helps with late arrivals.

A two-star hostal rather than a resort, Hostal Can Jurat keeps things straightforward: a bed, a pool and a bar. The property is listed with a restaurant, a pool bar and a snack café, so a meal does not have to involve driving anywhere. Most guests come for the west coast rather than for the building itself. Expect a modest, functional stay and confirm the details that matter to you, from room type to pool hours, with the property.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Hostal Can Jurat sits in Sant Antoni de Portmany, a bay that faces due west with the sunset strip along its north shore. In July and August the promenade fills early and the bay stays busy well into the night; in May, June, September and October the same waterfront is easier to walk and the roads are calmer. Street Miguel Angel lies 1.3 km from the centre, close to the action without being inside it.

Walking covers the town and the bay, but the coves need wheels. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.4 km away in a straight line, Cala Comte 7.6 km and Cala d'Hort 11.8 km. Buses are more frequent in summer and thin out in the shoulder months, so a hire car or a booked taxi is the practical way to reach them. The path up Sa Talaia starts 6 km from the guesthouse.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities listed for Hostal Can Jurat cover the basics: an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a restaurant, a snack café, a bar and a terrace, plus free wifi, a safe and a TV. The 24 hour front desk and luggage storage help guests on late flights or with an evening departure. Multilingual staff are listed too. Ask the property directly about room layout, bed types and which rooms suit a family of four.

Couples use Hostal Can Jurat as a base for the coves and the sunset, and the pool bar and terrace make the evening easy without a drive. Families should confirm what the property can arrange for children, including cots and extra beds. Guests with limited mobility will want to check access with the hotel, since a wheelchair accessible listing does not cover every doorway. Free parking, a garage and bicycle hire are listed; confirm availability in high summer.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 12.1 km from Hostal Can Jurat in a straight line. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the quickest arrival and suits late flights; buses link the airport with Sant Antoni de Portmany, with more departures in summer, so check the island bus operator. Collecting a hire car at the airport also works, and the guesthouse lists free car parking and a garage for guests who drive.

Ibiza Town port is 12.9 km away in a straight line, and fast ferries from there reach Formentera (La Savina) in about 30-35 minutes, which makes a day trip feasible from Sant Antoni. Sant Antoni also has mainland routes in season; check operators for current timetables. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm Hostal Can Jurat's own opening dates before booking a stay between November and April.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 4.4 km from Hostal Can Jurat, Cala Comte 7.6 km and Cala d'Hort 11.8 km, all straight-line figures. Cala Comte has shallow clear water with islets offshore; Cala d'Hort looks across to Es Vedrà, a limestone islet about 380 m high that is a nature reserve where nobody lands. The guesthouse lists a beach nearby, and Sant Antoni de Portmany is 1.3 km away.

Sights start close: the Cala Salada pair at 4.4 km, the climb to Sa Talaia at 6 km and the sunset at Cala Comte at 7.6 km. Sa Talaia is Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, best walked before the heat builds. Island food is worth planning around, with bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice. Ibiza Town port, below Dalt Vila, is 12.9 km off.

A day from Hostal Can Jurat

Begin early with the 6 km drive to the foot of Sa Talaia and the walk to Ibiza's highest point at about 475 m, where the whole west coast opens up. Come down for a late breakfast, then take the 4.4 km to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta for a swim. The early afternoon is the time to use the pool and pool bar back at Hostal Can Jurat, out of the strongest sun.

Late afternoon belongs to Cala d'Hort, 11.8 km from Hostal Can Jurat, where the cove faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high. Or drive the 7.6 km to Cala Comte and stay for the sunset, which is what this coast is known for. Dinner back towards Sant Antoni de Portmany, 1.3 km away, is the natural end. A car makes the sequence simple; taxis need booking in high summer.

Practical tips

Time the visit with care. Much of Ibiza's tourist business closes roughly from November to April, and Hostal Can Jurat's own opening dates for the quieter months are worth confirming directly. July and August fill up first, with the warmest sea at about 25-26 °C; May, June, September and October are gentler. Expect the ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, to be added per person per night by the accommodation. The charge scales with the accommodation category and the month, drops in low season and on longer stays, and exempts children under 16; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current bands.
