Apartamentos Art

About Apartamentos Art

Apartamentos Art suits travellers who want a simple, self-contained base in Es Canar, on Ibiza's east coast, and who plan to spend most of the day out. The two-star apartment building sits at C San Jaime 38 in the village, 0.7 km from Es Canar itself, so the beach, the cafés and the Wednesday market are within easy reach. Couples touring by car and families who prefer apartment space to a hotel room fit here.

Apartamentos Art is an apartment property rated two stars, run as a straightforward base rather than a resort. The facilities listed are a terrace, a bar, a restaurant, shops and multilingual staff, which covers the practical side of a short stay. Guests use it as a place to sleep and eat between days on the east coast beaches, the markets and the coves north of Es Canar.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered family beach on the east coast, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, and the village around it is small enough to cross on foot. Apartamentos Art sits 0.7 km from Es Canar, with Santa Eulària des Riu 4.2 km away and Cala Llonga 7.6 km. The water shelves gently, which is why families gravitate here, and the Wednesday hippy market at Punta Arabí, 1.2 km from the apartments, marks the busiest day of the week.

From Apartamentos Art, the village, the beach and the Punta Arabí market are all walkable. Anything further needs wheels: Santa Eulària des Riu for a wider choice of shops and the marina is 4.2 km, Cala Llonga is 7.6 km, and the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 2.4 km away. Buses run along this stretch of coast in summer, with fewer services outside the season, so check the island bus operator before relying on them for the 4.2 km into Santa Eulària.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities at Apartamentos Art point to a low-key, self-service stay rather than a serviced hotel. A terrace gives outdoor space, a bar and a restaurant cover the basics on site, and shops are listed for picking up essentials. Multilingual staff help with directions and practical questions. Couples get a quiet base a short walk from the water; families get apartment space instead of a single room.

Before booking, ask Apartamentos Art about the layout and size of the apartment, whether a kitchenette comes with it, how many people each unit sleeps and whether a cot or extra bed is available. Parking in Es Canar in August, late arrival arrangements and check-in and check-out times are worth confirming too. The property itself is the reliable source for all of this, and settling the details in advance keeps a short east-coast stay simple.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.8 km from Apartamentos Art in a straight line, at the far side of the island in Sant Josep. Taxis wait at the arrivals rank, a hire car can be collected at the airport for the run east towards Santa Eulària des Riu, and buses link the airport with the main towns. Summer timetables are fuller; winter services are thinner, so check the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 15.6 km from Apartamentos Art in a straight line, handles ferries from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; the drive from there crosses the island to the east coast. Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.2 km from the apartments, is a useful stop for supplies or a taxi onward. Flights and ferries are fewer between November and April, so confirm connections before fixing dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar beach, 0.7 km from Apartamentos Art, is the nearest swim, sheltered and shallow enough for children. Cala Llonga, a long inlet with calm water, is 7.6 km away, and Santa Eulària des Riu, with its promenade and marina, is 4.2 km. Kayak routes along the north coast calas are listed at 8.9 km from the apartments. Each place has a different feel: Es Canar is family and market-driven, Cala Llonga quieter, the northern coves pine-backed and rougher.

Two markets anchor the area. Punta Arabí at Es Canar, 1.2 km from Apartamentos Art, runs on Wednesdays in season; Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, 2.4 km away, holds its market on Saturdays, though days change, so check current arrangements. For food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's two-course fish stew with rice, and simply grilled fish in the villages along this coast rather than anything elaborate.

A day from Apartamentos Art

Start with a swim at Es Canar, 0.7 km from Apartamentos Art, before the beach fills. Walk back through the village for coffee, then drive or take a bus the 4.2 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina, or the 7.6 km to Cala Llonga for a second, calmer swim. Lunch is best taken late, Spanish style, and the afternoon is the hot stretch: sit it out on the terrace at the apartments.

Late afternoon, head north: the kayak routes along the north coast calas are listed at 8.9 km from Apartamentos Art, and the light softens over the water there. On a Wednesday in season, the Punta Arabí market at 1.2 km takes the evening; on other days, Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 2.4 km away, is an outing when it is running. Eat in Es Canar or Santa Eulària, then walk back the 0.7 km to the apartments.

Practical tips

Time a stay at Apartamentos Art with care. Much of Ibiza's tourism business, including many beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, while the main towns stay open, so check opening dates with the property and the winter bus timetable before booking. The peak months in Es Canar are July and August. On top of the room rate, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by Apartamentos Art; rates vary with season and category, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears lists current rates.
