About Can Cool By Eivillas

Can Cool By Eivillas suits travellers who want a self-contained base in the Ibiza countryside, close to the airport but away from the resort crowds. The hotel is not rated and has no guest score listed. It offers a kitchen, an outdoor pool and free WiFi, making it a practical choice for independent stays.

This is a self-catering property with no on-site restaurant or bar. Guests cook their own meals and plan their own days. The facilities listed include air conditioning, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a microwave, an oven, a toaster, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, a TV, a DVD player, a radio, a safe, an iron and board, and internet access. The outdoor pool is the main leisure feature.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Can Cool By Eivillas is on Calle De Can Nebot 25, in the countryside of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, the municipality that also holds Ibiza Airport and the south coast beaches. The area is rural: low dry-stone walls, carob and olive trees, scattered villas. There is no village centre within walking distance. The nearest named area is Playa d'en Bossa, 3.8 km straight line away, and Ibiza Town (Dalt Vila) is 5.2 km straight line away.

In July and August the roads to the coast and Ibiza Town carry heavy traffic. A hire car is essential for getting around from this location. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the countryside is quieter and the pool becomes the centre of the day. Much of the island's tourism business closes from roughly November to April, so the hotel's own opening dates should be checked for winter stays.

Rooms and facilities

The rooms at Can Cool By Eivillas are listed as self-contained units with a kitchen, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a microwave, an oven, a toaster, a refrigerator and a coffee maker. Air conditioning is listed, which is useful in the hot months. The presence of a TV, a DVD player and a radio suggests entertainment for quiet evenings. Free WiFi and internet access are listed.

Couples can manage with the kitchen and the pool. Families have the space to prepare meals and wash clothes. Late arrivals from the airport will find the kitchen useful for a meal without going out. The property does not list a cot or high chair, so families with babies should confirm what is available. The outdoor pool is not listed as fenced, so children need supervision.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 3.1 km straight line from Can Cool By Eivillas. A taxi takes about 5-10 minutes. A hire car collected at the airport is the most flexible option for this countryside location. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, but the nearest bus stop is not within walking distance of the hotel, so a car or taxi is needed for the final leg.

Ibiza Town port is 5.9 km straight line away. From the port, a taxi to the hotel takes about 10-15 minutes. Ferries from the port go to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer. The hotel's own opening months should be confirmed before booking a winter trip.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Playa d'en Bossa, 3.8 km straight line away, is the longest beach on Ibiza, with shallow water and a long stretch of sand. Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila are 5.2 km straight line away: the walled upper town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Renaissance walls, a cathedral at the top and narrow streets. Talamanca beach is 6.8 km straight line away, a calm bay across the marina from the town.

The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins is 4.7 km straight line from the hotel. The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta is 5.4 km straight line away. Both are part of the UNESCO listing. The countryside around the hotel has no restaurants within walking distance, so guests drive to Ibiza Town or the coast for meals. Island food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, fish stews served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes.
