Fergus Style Punta Arabi

About Fergus Style Punta Arabi

Fergus Style Punta Arabi is a four-star hotel in Es Canar, on the east coast of Ibiza, and it suits families and couples who want a pool-based stay within easy reach of a sheltered beach. The address on the Punta Arabí road puts the island's east-coast markets, calas and the town of Santa Eulària des Riu close by. The garden, terrace and outdoor pool give the days a slow, unhurried shape.

This is a resort-style property rather than a small village guesthouse, with a broad facilities list: an outdoor pool, a pool bar, restaurant service, bars and entertainment activities all appear. It works for families who need family rooms and garden space, and for late arrivals, since a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage are listed. Couples using the east coast as a base for beaches and markets fit comfortably here too.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered family beach on Ibiza's east coast, and the village behind it holds the Punta Arabí hippy market, held on Wednesdays in season. Fergus Style Punta Arabi sits 0.8 km from Es Canar in a straight line, so the beach and the market grounds are the natural anchors of a stay. Santa Eulària des Riu, a river town with a promenade and a marina, is 3.9 km away and stays open through the year.

The sand at Es Canar and the market are close enough to walk in normal weather, but the rest of this coast is simpler with transport. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 7 km away in a straight line, and Ibiza Town port is 15.1 km off. Buses along the east coast run more often in summer; check the island bus operator for current lines and times. The beach fills through July and August, while late spring and early autumn leave more room on the sand and calmer market mornings.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities at Fergus Style Punta Arabi are listed rather than promised, so treat the inventory as a guide. Air conditioning, a desk, a television, a telephone, a safe and wifi appear, alongside non-smoking rooms and family rooms. Couples can use the lounge, terrace and garden; families get space around the outdoor pool, where a pool bar and a snack bar are listed. A 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a first aid point help with late arrivals and long transfer days.

Confirm the detail of each room type with Fergus Style Punta Arabi before booking: bed configuration for families, whether a balcony or terrace comes with the room, and how the safe and wifi are provided. Ask about the cleaning schedule and laundry service on longer stays, and about cots or extra beds for younger children. Guests with mobility needs should check pool access and garden paths directly with the property.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits in Sant Josep, and the straight-line distance to Fergus Style Punta Arabi is 22.3 km. The simplest approach with luggage is a taxi or a pre-booked hire car, since the drive crosses the island from south-west to east. Buses serve Santa Eulària des Riu and the east-coast villages, with extra lines in summer, so check the island bus operator before travelling. Book any hire car in advance in high season, when availability tightens.

From Ibiza Town port, 15.1 km away in a straight line, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina) and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for current sailings. Travellers arriving by sea reach Es Canar by road from the port. Winter brings fewer flights and a thinner bus network, so confirm connections with Fergus Style Punta Arabi and the operators before travelling outside the main season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar beach is 0.8 km from Fergus Style Punta Arabi in a straight line, a sheltered strip of sand that suits children. The Punta Arabí hippy market is 1.2 km away and runs on Wednesdays in season, while the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 3 km off, on Saturdays with days to check. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.9 km away, has the promenade and marina; Cala Llonga, 7 km off, is a shallow inlet. Kayaking the north coast calas starts from about 9.8 km away.

Eating on this side of Ibiza leans on fish and rice. Bullit de peix is the island fish stew served in two courses, with rice to follow, and arròs a banda is rice cooked in fish stock; both turn up around Santa Eulària des Riu and the smaller coves. Away from the table, Dalt Vila in Eivissa, the walled upper town with 16th-century Renaissance walls and a cathedral at the top, forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999.

A day from Fergus Style Punta Arabi

Start early with the walk to Es Canar, 0.8 km away, for a swim before the beach fills. Mid-morning suits the Punta Arabí hippy market, 1.2 km off, which runs on Wednesdays in season; on other days head to Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.9 km away, for the promenade and marina. Return to Fergus Style Punta Arabi for the pool and pool bar during the afternoon heat.

Later, drive or take a bus to the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, 3 km away, checking the current market days first. Kayaking the north coast calas, about 9.8 km from Fergus Style Punta Arabi, fills a half day for confident paddlers. Finish with fish and rice somewhere on the east coast, or a slow evening in Santa Eulària des Riu before the 3.9 km run back to Es Canar.

Practical tips

Season shapes a stay here. Tourism on Ibiza thins sharply between roughly November and April, when many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses stop, so check Fergus Style Punta Arabi's own opening dates before planning a winter trip; midsummer is the busiest stretch on this coast. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation. Rates vary with the accommodation category and the season, are reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
