Agroturismo Can Prats

About Agroturismo Can Prats

Agroturismo Can Prats suits travellers who want a rural base on Ibiza rather than a resort strip. The address is a diseminado, the scattered rural numbering used outside villages, and the house sits in countryside away from the main resort areas. From here the north coast calas, the markets at Sant Carles de Peralta and Es Canar, and the airport all sit within a short drive. Couples exploring by car and families wanting outdoor space fit the house well.

This is a rural hotel, an agroturismo, with four stars and a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 23 reviews. The format is a country house rather than a resort: garden, terrace, library and lounge, with free parking for the car that the location makes useful. It is not beachfront, so plan on driving to the water. Book through the property and confirm the details that matter to you.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

The setting is countryside outside the main resort areas, with Cala Sant Vicent about 4.3 km away in a straight line, Es Canar about 6.2 km and Portinatx about 7.3 km. Nothing much is on the doorstep on foot, so a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus is the practical way out. Ibiza Town port is about 18.3 km away in a straight line for the ferry to Formentera.

In July and August the north coast calas fill early and the lanes around Sant Carles de Peralta slow down, so leaving the house before mid-morning helps. May, June, September and October are quieter and easier for driving, and the sea is typically about 18-19 °C in May and 23-25 °C in September. Some seasonal buses and beach businesses run only in the warmer months; check current timetables with the island bus operator.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to use the quiet parts of the house: the library, the lounge and the terrace, plus the garden for a slow start. Express check in and check out, a concierge, luggage storage, a safe and free wifi are all listed, which helps on a late arrival after a delayed flight. Bicycle hire is listed too, useful for short lanes nearby. Ask the property about arrival arrangements before a night flight.

For families, the listed facilities include a playground, a picnic area, babysitting, archery, horse riding, fishing and surf, though these may be arranged nearby rather than on the property, so confirm how each one works. Laundry and dry cleaning services are listed, handy with children. Wheelchair access is listed as well; ask the property which areas and routes are step-free. Room types, cots and how activities are booked are worth confirming directly.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 25.1 km from Agroturismo Can Prats in a straight line, so the road route is longer. A taxi or a hire car collected at the airport is the simplest option with luggage, and free parking at the house means the car is no burden once you arrive. Airport buses run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, about 18.3 km away in a straight line, is where ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina) and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; fast ferries to La Savina take roughly 30-35 minutes. From the port, a taxi or hire car covers the last stretch to Agroturismo Can Prats. Cala Sant Vicent, Es Canar and Portinatx are the closest centres, and winter flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Cala Sant Vicent, about 4.3 km away in a straight line, a pine-ringed bay on the north coast; Es Canar, about 6.2 km, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Portinatx is about 7.3 km. Kayaking the north coast calas is listed about 3.3 km from the house. Distances are straight line, so allow for winding lanes.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is about 3.8 km away in a straight line, held on Saturdays with days worth checking; Punta Arabí at Es Canar is about 6.5 km, on Wednesdays in season. On the food side, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish with rice. Eating is easiest in the villages and in Ibiza Town rather than in the countryside.

A day from Agroturismo Can Prats

Start early with a swim at Cala Sant Vicent, about 4.3 km away in a straight line, before the bay fills in high summer; the drive takes a short while on lanes. Carry on to Portinatx, about 7.3 km from Agroturismo Can Prats, for a second cove and a late morning on the rocks. Return to the house for the terrace and a quiet hour in the garden, then head out again in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, kayak the north coast calas, listed about 3.3 km from the house, or browse Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, about 3.8 km away, if it is a market day. Es Canar and Punta Arabí, about 6.5 km, fill a Wednesday in season. End with dinner out towards Es Canar or Santa Eulària des Riu and drive back on unlit lanes, so keep the return simple.

Practical tips

Much of the tourism business on Ibiza closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates of Agroturismo Can Prats with the property before booking a winter trip; July and August are the peak. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that depend on the type of accommodation and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
