About Hotel Rural Can Maries

Hotel Rural Can Maries is a 4-star rural hotel set in the quiet north of Ibiza, near the village of Port de Sant Miquel. It suits travellers who want a slower pace than the south and west, with pine-ringed coves and a more relaxed feel. The guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 73 reviews points to a consistent standard of comfort and service.

This is a countryside stay rather than a beachfront one. The property offers an outdoor pool, a spa, a restaurant and a bar, along with free parking and free Wi-Fi. The rural setting means you are away from the main resort crowds, yet close enough to reach beaches and villages by car within a short drive.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

The hotel sits outside the main resort areas, near Port de Sant Miquel in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja. This is the north of Ibiza, where the landscape is greener and the coast is cut by small coves. Port de Sant Miquel itself is a small harbour village with a few shops and places to eat, and the area feels quieter than Sant Antoni or Playa d'en Bossa.

Portinatx is 7.8 km straight line away, and Cala Sant Vicent is 12.9 km. Santa Eulària des Riu is 12.5 km, and Ibiza Town is 17.9 km from the port. A car is the practical way to explore, as the hotel is not within walking distance of a beach or a main bus route. In high summer the north is less crowded than the south, but the roads still fill up. In the shoulder months of May and October, the pace is slower and many places close for the season.

Rooms and facilities

The rooms at Hotel Rural Can Maries are equipped for a comfortable stay. Listed facilities include air conditioning, a minibar, a safe, a hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers. Some rooms have a balcony, and the property offers family rooms and cots on request. The kitchenettes and microwaves listed suggest some self-catering flexibility, though the on-site restaurant and bar also serve meals.

Guests arriving late should confirm check-in times and the availability of the restaurant or bar in the evening. The hotel lists a 24-hour front desk with express check-in and luggage storage. For those travelling with children, babysitting and high chairs are listed, but it is worth confirming these services when booking, as availability may vary by season.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.9 km straight line from Hotel Rural Can Maries. From the airport, a taxi takes around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town and other points, but the north is less well served, so a hire car is the most direct option. Car rental is listed among the hotel's facilities, or you can pick up a car at the airport.

From Ibiza Town port, the hotel is 17.9 km straight line. Ferries from the mainland and Formentera arrive at this port, and from there you can take a taxi or drive north. Seasonal buses run to some northern villages in summer, but services are fewer in winter. Flights and ferries are reduced outside the main season, so check current timetables with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are at Portinatx, 7.8 km away, and Cala Sant Vicent, 12.9 km. Both have sheltered coves with clear water, and Portinatx has a small resort feel with a few shops and restaurants. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are 15 km away, on the west coast, and are known for their shallow, clear water and pine backdrop. The hotel is not on the beach, so you will drive to these spots.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 11.5 km away, a Saturday market with crafts and music in the season. Santa Eulària des Riu, 12.5 km away, has a promenade, a marina and a slower evening atmosphere. The north coast is also good for kayaking, with the listed kayak spot 9.4 km away. For food, try bullit de peix or arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, at local restaurants in the villages.

A day from Hotel Rural Can Maries

Start the morning with breakfast at the hotel, then drive to Portinatx, 7.8 km away, for a swim in the calm bay. The cove is sheltered and the water is clear. After a few hours, head to Santa Eulària des Riu, 12.5 km away, for a walk along the promenade and a simple lunch of fresh fish or rice. The town has a marina and a more relaxed pace than the west coast.

In the afternoon, drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 15 km away, for a late swim in the shallow water. The road is winding, but the setting is worth it. In the evening, return to the hotel for dinner, or drive to Sant Carles de Peralta, 11.5 km away, to catch the Saturday market if the timing works. The north is quiet after dark, so an early night or a drink at the hotel bar fits the pace.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest roads and the highest demand. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that change by season and length of stay; children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
