About Can mark

Can Mark suits travellers who want a base in the Talamanca area of Ibiza, close to the marina and Ibiza Town but outside the busiest centre. The hotel is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed. It is a self-catering property with a kitchen or kitchenette, an outdoor pool and free car parking.

The stay works for couples and families who prefer to cook some meals and have space to spread out. The garden and terrace offer a place to relax after a day out. The hotel is in a residential street in Nuestra Señora de Jesús, a short drive or taxi ride from the port and the walled town.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Can Mark is on Carrer Des Rossinol in Nuestra Señora de Jesús, in the Talamanca area. Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, quieter than the south coast beaches. The straight-line distance to Talamanca beach is 1.5 km, to Ibiza Town port 2.2 km, and to Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town 2.7 km. Playa d'en Bossa is 5.6 km straight line away.

In high summer, the area is less crowded than Playa d'en Bossa or Sant Antoni, but still busy with visitors. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the pace is slower and the streets quieter. A car is useful for reaching coves and the airport, though taxis and seasonal buses serve the area.

Practical tips

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