Can Cama

About Can Cama

Can Cama suits travellers who want a quiet base away from the main resort towns. The hotel is set in the rural interior of Ibiza, with no immediate neighbours and a garden that gives a sense of privacy. It works for couples or small groups who plan to explore the island by car and return to a calm space in the evening. The property is unrated and does not carry a guest score, so the emphasis is on its facilities rather than a star category.

This is a self-catering stay with a full kitchen, a dishwasher and an oven, plus a microwave and a toaster. There is an outdoor pool and a terrace with a patio, and the garden has a fireplace. The hotel provides free WiFi, free car parking and a shuttle service on request. Breakfast is available, and housekeeping and laundry service are listed among the facilities.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Can Cama is in the countryside of Ibiza, on a rural road near Santa Gertrudis. The area is agricultural, with low stone walls and scattered fincas. It is not in a village or resort, so there are no bars or shops within walking distance. The nearest towns are Sant Antoni de Portmany (10.6 km straight line), Santa Eulària des Riu (10.7 km) and Ibiza Town (11.9 km to the port). Cala Llonga is 11.3 km away. A car is essential for reaching these places, as public transport in the interior is limited.

In high summer (July and August) the countryside is quieter than the coast, but the roads to the beaches and towns can be busy. The shoulder months of May, June and September are more relaxed, with lighter traffic and fewer crowds. The hotel’s rural setting means there is little noise from nightlife, and the garden and pool offer a retreat after a day out.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel is listed with a kitchen, a living area and a bathroom with a bath and a bidet. There is a desk, a TV and free WiFi. Air conditioning is provided, and there is a safe for valuables. The property has a fireplace, which may be used in cooler months. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and a toaster, so self-catering is straightforward. Guests should confirm the exact sleeping configuration with the hotel before booking.

For families, the facilities include a cot or extra bed if requested, but this is not stated in the listing. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure, as the property is in a remote location with no reception desk. The hotel provides a shuttle service, which may be arranged in advance. Housekeeping and laundry service are listed, but guests should confirm the frequency and whether these are included in the rate.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 16.4 km straight line from Can Cama. A taxi takes about 20-25 minutes by road, depending on traffic. A hire car is the most practical option, as the hotel is in the countryside and public transport is scarce. Car rental desks are at the airport arrivals hall. Buses from the airport go to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, but they do not stop near the hotel, so a taxi or hire car is needed from the nearest bus stop. In winter, flights are fewer, and some bus lines run less frequently.

From Ibiza Town port (11.9 km straight line), a taxi or hire car is the best choice. The port is the main ferry terminal for Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Sant Antoni port (10.6 km) also has some mainland routes in season. The hotel offers a shuttle service, which guests can arrange before arrival. The road network is straightforward, but some rural lanes are narrow.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, both 11.1 km straight line. These are small coves with clear water, popular for snorkelling. Parking can be tight in summer, so arriving early is advisable. The Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 11.9 km away and runs on Saturdays in season (check the current days). The walls of Dalt Vila in Ibiza Town are 12.3 km away; this UNESCO-listed old town has a cathedral at the top and views over the port.

Ibiza’s food scene includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses. Fresh fish and rice dishes are common in the coastal restaurants. The hotel’s kitchen allows guests to cook their own meals, but there are supermarkets in Santa Eulària and Ibiza Town for supplies. The countryside around Can Cama has no restaurants within walking distance, so a car is needed for eating out.

A day from Can Cama

A morning at Can Cama might start with breakfast on the terrace, followed by a swim in the outdoor pool. A drive to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta (11.1 km) takes about 15 minutes by car. These coves face west, so the morning light is good for swimming and snorkelling. The water is clear, and the surrounding pine trees provide some shade. Arriving before 10 am avoids the worst of the summer crowds. After a few hours, a return to the hotel for a lunch cooked in the kitchen is easy.

In the afternoon, a trip to Dalt Vila in Ibiza Town (12.3 km) offers a walk along the Renaissance walls and a visit to the cathedral. The streets are narrow and shaded, with views over the marina. Parking is available outside the walls. For a later stop, the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles (11.9 km) is an option on a Saturday, with crafts and food stalls. The evening can be spent at the hotel, using the fireplace if the weather is cool, or dining on the patio.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza’s tourism business closes from roughly November to April, so check Can Cama’s opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and busier roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and accommodation type, with a reduction for longer stays and children under 16 exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
