About Can Consul

Can Consul suits travellers who prefer a self-catering stay in the Ibizan countryside, away from the main resort crowds. The hotel is a detached property with a garden, outdoor pool and a full kitchen, making it a practical choice for families or couples who want to cook their own meals and set their own pace. It is not a beachfront hotel, but the north coast calas and the markets at Sant Carles are within a short drive.

The property is listed as a hotel with no star rating and no guest score. It provides a range of facilities including free Wi-Fi, free car parking, a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, oven and toaster. The outdoor pool and playground are noted, and the rooms include a balcony or patio, a fireplace and a desk.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

Can Consul is in the countryside of northern Ibiza, roughly midway between Santa Eulària des Riu (11.5 km straight line), Sant Antoni de Portmany (12.4 km) and Portinatx (11.1 km). The area is rural, with pine woods and agricultural land, and the nearest village is not specified. You need a car to reach shops, restaurants and the coast; the hotel has free parking. In high summer the roads to the north coast calas can be busy, but the immediate surroundings remain quiet.

In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the countryside is greener and the roads quieter. Many beach bars and seasonal restaurants close from November to April, but the main towns of Santa Eulària and Sant Antoni stay open year-round. The hotel's own opening dates should be checked directly, as the property may close in winter.

The rooms at Can Consul are listed with a balcony or patio, a TV, a radio, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and toiletries. Each room has a desk, a fan, a fireplace and free Wi-Fi.

The property has a smoking area, a garden, a terrace and an outdoor pool. A playground is noted for children. Guests should confirm with Can Consul the exact room configuration, the number of bedrooms and the availability of the fireplace (seasonal use may apply). The hotel is not on the beach, and the nearest coast is about 11 km away by road.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 19.3 km straight line from Can Consul. A taxi takes about 25-30 minutes on the main roads via Santa Eulària or Sant Antoni. A hire car is the most practical option for this rural location; the hotel provides free parking. Seasonal buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària and Sant Antoni, but from those towns you would need a taxi or a further bus to reach the hotel. Fewer flights operate in winter, and some bus lines run only in summer.

Ibiza Town port is 14.7 km straight line away. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni port, 12.4 km away, has some mainland routes in season. From either port, a taxi or hire car is the most direct way to reach Can Consul. The hotel's distances are given as straight-line measurements; the actual driving distance will be longer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The north coast calas are 11.8 km straight line from Can Consul, accessible by car for kayaking and swimming. Portinatx, a resort with several sandy coves, is 11.1 km away.

A day from Can Consul

A day at Can Consul could start with breakfast on the patio, using the kitchen to prepare coffee and toast. Drive to Portinatx (11.1 km) for a morning swim at one of its sandy coves. The north coast calas (11.8 km) offer kayaking opportunities; you can bring a packed lunch from the hotel. In the afternoon, visit the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles (11.8 km) if it is a Saturday, or explore the countryside roads. Return to the hotel for a swim in the outdoor pool and an evening meal cooked in the kitchen.

For a longer excursion, drive to Santa Eulària des Riu (11.5 km) for a walk along the promenade and a meal at one of the town's restaurants. Sant Antoni de Portmany (12.4 km) has the sunset strip and a range of evening options. The hotel's rural setting means you can also simply relax in the garden or by the fireplace, depending on the season.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Can Consul whether the hotel is open during your travel dates. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and busier roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and accommodation type, is reduced for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
