Can Joan Yern

About Can Joan Yern

Can Joan Yern suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibizan countryside, away from the main resort strips. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed, so it appeals to those who prefer a self-contained, independent stay rather than a full-service hotel. The surrounding area is rural, with fields and low hills, and the nearest village is a short drive away.

This is a hotel with self-catering facilities: a kitchen or kitchenette, a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a toaster and a refrigerator are listed. There is also a washing machine, an iron and board, and a cot and high chairs for families. Outside, the property has a garden, a terrace, a patio, a solarium and an outdoor pool. Free car parking and free wifi are provided.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

Can Joan Yern is in the Venda de Balàfia de Baix area, in the municipality of Sant Llorenç de Balàfia, part of the northern Ibiza countryside. The nearest town is Santa Eulària des Riu, 5.7 km away in a straight line. Santa Eulària has a promenade, a marina, shops and restaurants that stay open year-round. Es Canar, a family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market, is 7.8 km away. Cala Llonga, a sheltered inlet, is 8.7 km away.

A car is needed to reach the hotel and to explore the area. The property has free car parking. In high summer, the rural roads are quieter than the coast, but July and August bring more traffic to the main routes. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is quieter and the weather is still warm enough for the pool. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes from roughly November to April; check the hotel's opening dates.
