Casa Benirras

About Casa Benirras

Casa Benirras suits travellers who want the quiet north of Ibiza rather than a resort strip. The address is on Carrer Benirràs A, outside Port de Sant Miquel in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja. Couples, small families and friends renting together fit here, because the setting rewards slow mornings and early nights. A car makes the position work: the nearest coves and villages are a short drive, and the big towns sit further south and east.

Casa Benirras is listed as a three-star apartment or villa, a small-scale alternative to the large seasonal hotels on the coast. The appeal is the setting and the outdoor space rather than a long list of services: a garden, an outdoor pool, a terrace and a picnic area. Self-catering suits the location, as places to eat in the north thin out outside summer. Check arrival times with the hotel before booking flights.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

Port de Sant Miquel is a small bay on the north coast, in Sant Joan de Labritja, with a handful of places to eat and a sheltered stretch of water. Casa Benirras sits outside the main resort areas, where lanes narrow between pines and evenings stay quiet. The north is where islanders head when they want a cala to themselves. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town of any size, is 11.7 km away in a straight line.

Little is genuinely walkable from Carrer Benirràs A beyond the immediate lane and the coast path. Portinatx is 6.1 km away in a straight line and Cala Sant Vicent 11 km, so beach days need a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus, and parking on site helps at both. August fills the north but keeps it calmer than the south. May, June and September leave the lanes and coves easier.

Rooms and facilities

Casa Benirras lists free Wifi, free car parking, a garden, an outdoor pool, a picnic area, a terrace and wheelchair access. Couples get space and a pool that usually stays quiet; families can use the garden and picnic area for easy meals with children. Parking on site removes the evening search for a space, which matters in the north where roadside parking near the calas fills early. Confirm which parts of the property the accessible route covers.

Ask Casa Benirras directly about the layout of the apartment or villa, whether the terrace belongs to the unit, and how the pool is shared across the day. Confirm cooking facilities, laundry and cleaning arrangements for longer stays. Late arrivals should check in advance how keys are handed over and whether anyone is on site in the evening. For a week or more, ask how the tourist tax is collected.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport (IBZ), the straight-line distance to Casa Benirras is 23.8 km, with the road running north through the middle of the island. A hire car collected at the airport is the simplest option, since the property lists free parking. Taxis wait outside arrivals. Buses connect the terminal with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, then a taxi or a second service covers the last stretch; check current lines with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 18.4 km away in a straight line, is where ferries from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia arrive. From there, drive north through Sant Joan de Labritja or along the east coast past Santa Eulària des Riu. Sailing times shift with the season and winter crossings are fewer, so check with the ferry operators. Late ferries plus a rural address make a pre-booked taxi the easier choice.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Sea days begin close by. The north coast calas used for kayaking are 7.5 km away in a straight line, and the bay at Port de Sant Miquel is the shortest hop from the door. Inland, the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 10.3 km away in a straight line. It runs on Saturdays, though days can change, so check the current schedule before driving over. Early mornings are best on the water.

Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 13.7 km away in a straight line and runs on Wednesdays in season; confirm current days before setting out. Food in the north leans on fresh fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, appear on many menus, and simply grilled fish with local vegetables is the easy order. Book ahead in August, when small kitchens fill.

A day from Casa Benirras

Start at Casa Benirras with a swim before the lane gets busy, then drive to the kayak calas on the north coast for a morning on flat water. Carry water and shade, as the north coast offers little cover. Lunch back at the property, on the terrace or at the picnic area if the poolside is busy. The afternoon suits Sant Carles and the market stalls at Las Dalias.

Late afternoon, drive east to Es Canar for Punta Arabí, or stay north and take the coast road towards Portinatx for a late swim. Return to Casa Benirras for the pool and a slow evening in the garden. Distances are short by car and long on foot, so plan two or three stops rather than five. In shoulder months the light goes earlier and seasonal kitchens shut, so eat before driving back.

Practical tips

Casa Benirras is at its best in May, June, September and early October, when the north is open but not full. Outside the main towns, many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses shut roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's opening dates before booking flights. July and August bring the most demand and the warmest sea, around 25-26 °C. Budget for the sustainable tourism tax as well: the accommodation charges it per person per night, the rate depends on the season and the property, and the Govern de les Illes Balears sets and publishes it.
