Can Fulgencio II

About Can Fulgencio II

Can Fulgencio II suits travellers who want a practical base in the Es Canar area of Ibiza, with north coast coves and the Wednesday hippy market within easy reach. This three-star hotel has a garden, an outdoor pool and parking, which helps families with a hire car and couples touring the island by road. Es Canar is 2.4 km away and Santa Eulària des Riu is 5 km away, so the coast and town are short drives.

The stay is a straightforward three-star hotel rather than a resort with a long list of extras. The listed facilities cover the basics for a summer holiday: air conditioning, a pool, a garden, bars and parking. Couples can use it as a calm base after days at the calas, while families get space around the pool and a safe for documents. Confirm the pool's seasonal opening and bar hours with the property before booking.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered family beach on Ibiza's east coast, known for the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Can Fulgencio II is 2.4 km from Es Canar and 2.8 km from the market, so most people will use a car, taxi or seasonal bus rather than walk. Santa Eulària des Riu, with its promenade and marina, is 5 km away. Cala Sant Vicent, a pine-ringed bay on the north coast, is 6.3 km from the hotel.

In July and August the east coast fills with families and the Es Canar area is busiest around market day. Parking at Can Fulgencio II is a useful listed facility when the lanes and beach car parks are full. May, June, September and October bring shorter queues and a calmer poolside, though some beach bars and seasonal buses close earlier or run less often. Check the hotel's own opening dates and the island bus operator before planning a late or early-season stay.

Rooms and facilities

Air conditioning and a safe are among the listed room features at Can Fulgencio II, which matters in the Ibiza summer. Couples can treat the outdoor pool and garden as the main daytime base, with a bar for a drink before going out. Families should ask the hotel which room layouts fit two adults and children, and what bedding is available. Late arrivals should confirm reception arrangements and access to parking before travelling.

The listed facilities also include laundry service, a smoking area and parking, useful for longer stays and for guests arriving by hire car. A garden gives children room to move without leaving the property, while the pool is the obvious focal point on hot afternoons. The hotel is a three-star property, so expect simple comforts rather than extensive services. Confirm pool opening times, bar service and any laundry turnaround with Can Fulgencio II before you rely on them.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 23.6 km from Can Fulgencio II in a straight line. The usual options are a taxi, a pre-booked transfer or a hire car collected at the airport. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for a route towards Es Canar. Allow for traffic in July and August, when the east coast roads are busier.

Ibiza Town port is 16.5 km from the hotel, useful if arriving from Formentera or the mainland. Ferries from Ibiza Town go to La Savina on Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check operators for current timetables. From the port, a car or taxi covers the run to Es Canar and Cala Llenya. Santa Eulària des Riu is 5 km from Can Fulgencio II, and Cala Sant Vicent is 6.3 km away, so a hire car makes the last stretch simple.
