Apartamentos Los Pinares Benet

About Apartamentos Los Pinares Benet

Apartamentos Los Pinares Benet is an apartment stay on the east coast of Ibiza, near the sheltered family beach of Es Canar. The property suits travellers who want a quiet base with a kitchen, a pool and space to spread out, rather than a hotel with full board. It works well for families and for couples who prefer to cook some meals and keep their own hours.

The apartments are not rated by stars, and no guest score is given. The accommodation is described as an apartment or villa, with a long list of facilities that includes air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette, an outdoor pool, a pool bar, free parking and free wifi. The setting is residential, in the S'Argamassa urbanisation, about 1.5 km from Es Canar itself.

Location: Es Canar

The apartments sit in the S'Argamassa urbanisation, a residential area on the east coast of Ibiza. Es Canar, 1.5 km away by straight line, is a sheltered family beach with a small resort feel and a promenade. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, is 3.1 km away and offers a marina, a riverfront promenade and a year-round range of shops, cafés and restaurants. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet, is 6.4 km away.

In high summer, Es Canar gets busy with families and day-trippers, but the urbanisation itself is quieter. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the pace drops and many seasonal places close. The beach at Es Canar is walkable, but a car or taxi makes it easier to reach Santa Eulària, Cala Llonga and the markets. Parking at the apartments is free, which helps if you hire a car.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, an oven and a toaster, so self-catering is straightforward. Each unit has a bathroom with a bath and bidet, a balcony or terrace, a TV, a radio and a safe. There is a sofa bed in some units, and cots and high chairs are available for families. Free wifi is listed, and an iron and board are provided.

Cleaning and laundry services are listed, which is useful for longer stays. Luggage storage is available, and the property has a garden, a solarium and an outdoor pool with a pool bar. A restaurant or snack bar is on site, and there is a smoking area. For late arrivals, the listed facilities include a first aid kit and smoke detectors. Check with the property about exact check-in times and any extra charges for cots or cleaning.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 21.6 km away by straight line. A taxi covers the drive in about half an hour, depending on traffic. Buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària des Riu in summer, but the stop is not at the apartments; from Santa Eulària you would need a taxi or a short bus ride. A hire car is a practical option, and the apartments list car rental service and free parking.

From Ibiza Town port, where ferries from Formentera and the mainland arrive, the apartments are 14.4 km away by straight line. A taxi or hire car is the most direct way. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines stop running. Check the island bus operator for current timetables and the hotel for the best way to arrive outside the main season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest area is Es Canar, 1.5 km away, with its sheltered family beach and the Punta Arabí hippy market, which is held on Wednesdays in season. The market is 2 km away by straight line. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.1 km away, has a marina, a promenade and a range of restaurants. Cala Llonga, 6.4 km away, is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, good for families.

Further afield, the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 2.6 km away; it is open on Saturdays, but check current days. The north coast calas, suitable for kayaking, are 9.6 km away. For food, try bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, or fresh fish and rice dishes at local restaurants. The apartments' kitchen means you can also shop in Santa Eulària and cook at home.

A day from Apartamentos Los Pinares Benet

Start the day with breakfast on the balcony or terrace of your apartment, using the kitchen to make coffee. Walk or drive the 1.5 km to Es Canar beach for a morning swim in the calm, sheltered water. The beach is family-friendly, with shallow entry and a relaxed atmosphere. After a couple of hours, head to the Punta Arabí hippy market, 2 km away, to browse stalls for crafts, clothes and local goods; it is open on Wednesdays in season.

For lunch, drive the 3.1 km to Santa Eulària des Riu and walk along the promenade, then pick a restaurant for fresh fish or rice dishes. In the afternoon, drive to Cala Llonga, 6.4 km away, for a longer swim or a walk around the inlet. Return to the apartments in the late afternoon for a dip in the pool and a drink at the pool bar. In the evening, cook dinner in the kitchen or go back to Santa Eulària for a meal, then relax on the terrace.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the Apartamentos Los Pinares Benet's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and the highest demand. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears or the property.
