Apartamentos Cana Sofia

About Apartamentos Cana Sofia

Apartamentos Cana Sofia suit travellers who want a self-catering base on Ibiza's east coast, close to a family-friendly beach and within reach of Santa Eulària des Riu. The apartments are not rated and have no guest score listed, but the long list of facilities points to a practical, independent stay.

These are apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, a balcony or terrace, and access to a garden and outdoor pool. The property is set back from the beach, about 0.4 km from Cala Llonga, so you walk or drive the short distance to the sand. It works for couples, families and small groups who prefer to cook their own meals and keep their own hours.

Location: Cala Llonga

Cala Llonga is a long, sheltered inlet between wooded headlands, with shallow water that suits children. The bay has a sandy beach and a handful of bars and restaurants, but the area is quieter than the south-coast strips. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.6 km straight line away, offers a riverfront promenade, a marina, shops and a slower evening scene.

From the apartments, Cala Llonga beach is 0.4 km straight line, easily walkable. Ibiza Town port is 8.3 km straight line, and Talamanca beach is 7.2 km straight line. A hire car or taxi is useful for reaching the island's other coves and markets, especially outside the summer bus season. In July and August the area is busy but less intense than Playa d'en Bossa; in May, June, September and October it is calmer.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, microwave and toaster, plus a desk, sofa bed and TV. The balcony, patio or terrace gives outdoor space, and the garden and outdoor pool are shared. Free WiFi and internet access are listed, and there is a safe, a fan and a hairdryer. Family rooms and a cot are available, and non-smoking rooms are offered.

Couples can use the double sofa bed and the desk for remote work. Families have the kitchen for self-catering and the pool for daytime play. Late arrivals should confirm check-in times with the property, as the reception may not be staffed around the clock. The listed laundry service and car rental service can be arranged on site.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 15.5 km straight line from the apartments. A taxi takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària des Riu; from Santa Eulària you can take a local bus or taxi to Cala Llonga. A hire car gives the most flexibility for exploring the east and north of the island.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is 8.3 km. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. The apartments are about 3.6 km straight line from Santa Eulària des Riu, which has a marina and a bus stop. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus lines run less frequently; check the island bus operator for current schedules.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga beach is 0.4 km straight line from the apartments, a sheltered bay with shallow water ideal for children.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Apartamentos Cana Sofia for their exact opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and highest demand for hire cars. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and accommodation type, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
