Can Vich Petit

About Can Vich Petit

Can Vich Petit suits travellers who want a self-contained base in the Ibiza countryside, away from the coastal crowds. The hotel is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed. It offers a range of facilities for independent stays, including a kitchen or kitchenette, a washing machine and free car parking.

This is a hotel for those who prefer to cook, relax in a private garden or by the outdoor pool, and explore the north and east of the island by car. The property includes a spa and a Jacuzzi, making it a place to unwind after a day out. It is not a resort or a beachfront property, but a quiet inland retreat.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Can Vich Petit is located on the Camí Des Forn Des Saig, in the countryside of northern Ibiza. The nearest village is Sant Carles de Peralta, about 3.4 km away, where the Las Dalias market takes place on Saturdays (check current days). Santa Eulària des Riu, with its promenade, marina and shops, is 6.5 km straight line from the hotel. Es Canar, a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season, is 6.2 km away.

The area is quiet and rural, with pine woods and agricultural land. In high summer the north coast is less crowded than the south, but the hotel's setting remains calm. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is green and the roads are quieter. A car is essential for getting around: the nearest beach, Cala Sant Vicent, is 5.7 km away, and the airport is 23.7 km straight line. There is no bus service to the hotel itself; taxis or a hire car are needed.

Rooms and facilities

The accommodation at Can Vich Petit is listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, an oven and a toaster. Each unit has air conditioning, free WiFi, a TV and a terrace. Some rooms include a fireplace, a sofa bed and a bath with a bidet. The facilities suggest self-catering stays for couples or small families. A cot is available on request.

Guests arriving late should confirm check-in arrangements with the property in advance, as the hotel is in a rural location without a reception desk open around the clock. The listed facilities include a washing machine, an iron and board, and a laundry service, which is useful for longer stays. The outdoor pool and spa are shared spaces; check with the hotel about opening times and whether the spa requires booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 23.7 km straight line from Can Vich Petit. A taxi takes about 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most flexibility for exploring the north and east of the island. Buses from the airport run to Santa Eulària des Riu (more lines in summer), but from there you would need a taxi for the remaining 6.5 km to the hotel. In winter, flights are fewer and the bus service is reduced.

Ibiza Town port is 17 km straight line from the hotel. If arriving by ferry from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia, a taxi from the port takes about 20 minutes. Santa Eulària des Riu is 6.5 km away, so a taxi from there is short. The hotel has free car parking, so a hire car is the most practical option for the whole stay. Check the hotel's opening dates, as it may close in the low season.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Can Vich Petit whether it is open during your travel dates. July and August are the peak months, with higher temperatures and more visitors. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
