About Can Jaume Guillem

The hotel provides a full kitchen with oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, refrigerator and coffee maker. A washing machine and laundry service are listed. The garden and terrace offer outdoor space. Free WiFi and internet access are available. This is a practical choice for families or couples who want to explore the north coast at their own pace.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Can Jaume Guillem is on the Carretera A Aguas Blancas, in a rural area outside Es Figueral. Es Figueral is a small north-coast settlement with a sandy cove and a few seasonal services. The hotel is 3.4 km straight line from Cala Sant Vicent, a sheltered bay with a long beach, and 5.2 km from Es Canar, a family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market. Santa Eulària des Riu is 7.7 km away, with its promenade, marina and year-round shops.

The area feels quiet and pine-covered, with little passing traffic. In high summer the north coast is less crowded than the south, but the hotel's rural position means a car is essential. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the roads are emptier and the nearby coves are more peaceful. The hotel has free car parking on site.

The hotel lists air conditioning and non-smoking rooms. A cot and high chairs are available, which suits families with young children. The rooms include a TV, safe, bidet and a fireplace. A kitchenette or kitchen is provided, with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, refrigerator and coffee maker. Guests should confirm with the property which room type they are booking and whether the fireplace is operational.

For late arrivals, the hotel lists security features and a first-aid kit. The washing machine and laundry service are useful for longer stays. Free WiFi is listed. There is no mention of a pool, on-site restaurant or room service. The property is a self-catering unit, so guests should plan to shop for groceries before arriving, especially in low season when nearby shops may close early.
