Apartamentos Playa Sol

About Apartamentos Playa Sol

Apartamentos Playa Sol is a three-star apartment building on Avenida Es Canar in Es Canar, on Ibiza's east coast. The setup suits families who want a kitchen and a short walk to a sheltered beach, and couples who prefer a quiet base outside Santa Eulària des Riu. Es Canar itself is 0.5 km away, so shopping, cafés and the beach do not need a car. The position works well for anyone splitting days between the sand, the Wednesday market and the northern coves.

The stay is apartment-style rather than full hotel service. A kitchen or kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator and toaster are listed, along with breakfast, cleaning and laundry service, so a week can run on your own timetable. Lifts, family rooms, non-smoking rooms and wheelchair access are also listed. Three stars sets the expectation: simple, well equipped and close to the beach, without the extras of a larger complex.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered family beach on the east coast and the village behind it keeps a low-rise, relaxed feel. Apartamentos Playa Sol has an address on Avenida Es Canar, with the beach and the village centre about 0.5 km away on foot. The Punta Arabí market site is 1 km off. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, with its promenade, marina and river mouth, is 4.2 km away.

Walking covers the beach, the village and the market at Punta Arabí. For anything further, plan on a bus, a taxi or a hire car: Santa Eulària des Riu is 4.2 km, Cala Llonga 7.5 km and the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta 2.7 km. In July and August the village fills and the beach area is busiest around midday; May, June and September bring calmer conditions for the same walks from the apartments.

Rooms and facilities

Inside, the listed facilities point to self-catering comfort: air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, a kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus a desk, TV, DVD player and radio. Free wifi and internet access cover everyday needs, and a safe, hairdryer and toiletries are listed. Couples can take a compact unit; families should ask for a family room with space for a cot and a high chair.

A few details are worth confirming with Apartamentos Playa Sol before booking: whether the unit has a full kitchen or a kitchenette, how the balcony or terrace is oriented, and what the sea entry on the facility list means for the apartment in question. Late arrivals should ask about reception hours and luggage storage in advance. Parking, cleaning and laundry service are listed; check how each works for your dates.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.7 km from Apartamentos Playa Sol in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. With luggage, a taxi is the simplest option. Buses from the airport run to Santa Eulària des Riu, and a local bus or a taxi covers the remaining 4.2 km to Es Canar. A hire car gives more freedom for the northern coves, and parking is listed at the apartments.

From Ibiza Town port, 15.5 km away, the same choice applies: a taxi direct, or a bus towards Santa Eulària des Riu and on to Es Canar. Ferries from that port go to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so a day on Formentera can be built into an east-coast stay. Summer bus lines are more frequent; flights and sailings are fewer in winter, so check the operators and Apartamentos Playa Sol for your dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar beach, 0.5 km from Apartamentos Playa Sol, is the closest swim: a sheltered bay with shallow water that suits children. Cala Llonga, a long inlet with gentle water, is 7.5 km south. Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.2 km away, has the promenade, marina and river mouth. The north coast calas, around 9.2 km off, are the usual goal for a kayak or a boat day.

Two markets anchor the area: Punta Arabí, 1 km away, runs on Wednesdays in season, and Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, 2.7 km away, on Saturdays, with current days worth checking before you go. Ibiza's cooking leans on the sea: bullit de peix, a fish stew served in two courses, and arròs a banda, rice cooked in fish stock, appear across Santa Eulària des Riu and the east-coast villages.

A day from Apartamentos Playa Sol

Start with a swim at Es Canar, 0.5 km from Apartamentos Playa Sol, before the bay fills. Walk the 1 km to Punta Arabí if it is a Wednesday in season and the market is running, then return for lunch in the apartment. In the afternoon, a bus or a taxi covers the 4.2 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina, with an evening return to Es Canar.

Another day heads north: drive or take a taxi 9.2 km to the north coast calas for a kayak or a coastal walk, then stop at Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, 2.7 km from the apartments, if the market day matches your stay. A quieter alternative is Cala Llonga, 7.5 km away, for a long afternoon in shallow water, back in Es Canar for the evening.

Practical tips

Es Canar is a summer village, and many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates of Apartamentos Playa Sol before booking outside the main months. July and August bring the highest demand. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night by Apartamentos Playa Sol, varies with the season and the apartment type, and exempts children under 16; check current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
