Agroturismo Atzaró

About Agroturismo Atzaró

Agroturismo Atzaró suits travellers who would rather wake up in fields than on a resort strip. Couples, families and small groups use the place as a rural base for the north-east, with the pool, the garden and the spa filling the slow hours and the coast a short drive away. Anyone who wants to step out of the gate onto sand or into a village should look at a coastal address instead.

The property is a five-star agroturismo, which on Ibiza means a working rural setting with hotel service rather than a beach resort. It carries a guest score of 4.7 out of 5 from 1368 reviews. Expect a countryside address, an outdoor pool and a garden, with the rest of the listed facilities behind them. Breakfast and lunch service are listed, and the front desk runs around the clock.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

The hotel stands in the countryside of the north-east, on the road towards Sant Joan de Labritja and roughly 4.9 km from Santa Eulària des Riu in a straight line. That town has a river mouth, a promenade, a marina and a slower evening than the big resorts, and it stays open through the year. Around the hotel, lanes run between fields, pines and small farms.

Little is walkable beyond the grounds, so plan on a car, a taxi or the shuttle service that appears in the listed facilities. Ibiza Airport sits 20.2 km away in a straight line and Ibiza Town port 13.6 km. In July and August the lanes and the coast road slow down; in May, June and late September there is far more room to move.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to use the spa, the sauna and the jacuzzi, plus the outdoor pool and its pool bar. Families have family rooms, cots, a kids pool and babysitting listed, along with a garden for the hours between outings. Late arrivals are covered by a 24-hour front desk and room service. Air conditioning, free wifi, a safe, a minibar and a balcony appear in the listed facilities, so ask which room types carry which.

Because Agroturismo Atzaró is a rural property, a few practical points are worth settling before arrival. Confirm check-in and check-out times, whether breakfast is included in the rate, how the shuttle service runs and how far ahead treatments should be booked. Ask about the pet policy, special diets, cot and extra-bed arrangements, and whether parking is free for the dates you have in mind.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 20.2 km from the hotel in a straight line, and the drive follows the road network, so allow more than that figure suggests. A taxi, or a hire car collected at the airport, is the straightforward option. Island buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer.

From Ibiza Town port, 13.6 km away in a straight line, ferries run to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and the hotel is a road transfer from the terminal. Santa Eulària des Riu is 4.9 km off, Es Canar 7.2 km and Cala Llonga 7.9 km. Flights and ferries thin out in winter, so check timetables with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.4 km away in a straight line, held on Saturdays with current days worth checking. Punta Arabí at Es Canar, 7.8 km off, runs on Wednesdays in season. For swimming, Es Canar beach is about 7.2 km and Cala Llonga about 7.9 km, and kayaking along the north coast calas puts you on the water around 7.5 km from the hotel.

Eating on Ibiza is built around fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the island dishes to look for, the fish stew served in two courses, and simpler grilled fish with rice is just as good. Santa Eulària des Riu has the widest choice close to Agroturismo Atzaró; the smaller villages inland keep shorter hours and open fewer days outside the season.

A day from Agroturismo Atzaró

Start with a swim in the outdoor pool and breakfast at Agroturismo Atzaró, then drive 4.4 km to Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta for the morning. In the afternoon, head for Cala Llonga, about 7.9 km away, for shallow water in a long inlet, or Es Canar, 7.2 km off, for a sheltered family beach. Return before the lanes fill.

Take a second morning on the water, with kayaking along the north coast calas about 7.5 km from Agroturismo Atzaró, then eat lunch late. On a Wednesday in season, Punta Arabí at Es Canar is 7.8 km away. Finish with dinner at the hotel restaurant and a spell in the garden, leaving the driving for the following day.

Practical tips

The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is added by the accommodation for each person and each night. Its level varies with the type and category of the property and the time of year, falls in low season and on longer bookings, and does not apply to children under 16. Ask Agroturismo Atzaró what it collects and check the Govern de les Illes Balears. Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the hotel's opening dates; July and August are the peak.
