About Hotel Boutique Las Arenas

Hotel Boutique Las Arenas suits travellers who want a small, simple base in Es Canar rather than a large resort. The two-star hotel stands on Avinguda Es Canar, with the sheltered beach and the Wednesday market both within walking distance. Couples who are out for most of the day, families who want a pool and a garden for the afternoons, and anyone touring the east coast by car will find the position practical.

This is a two-star hotel, scored 4.2 out of 5 from 187 reviews, so expect a straightforward, unpretentious stay rather than polished four-star service. The appeal is the location, the pool and the short walk to the water. A restaurant, a bar and a snack service are listed, so a short break can run without a car, while the car rental service on site helps if you want to cover more of Ibiza.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered family beach on the east coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu. The bay is calm and shallow, the promenade is flat, and the mood is quieter than in the south of the island. The Wednesday Punta Arabí hippy market brings the busiest day of the week. Hotel Boutique Las Arenas sits 0.4 km from the Es Canar area, an easy walk to the sand.

The resort itself is walkable, with the bay, the market ground and the shops within a short stroll of the door. Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.2 km away, is the nearest town with a promenade, marina and year-round services, and Cala Llonga is 7.5 km off. Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 2.7 km away, and the north coast calas around 9.2 km off are easier by car or taxi. In high summer the resort fills and the walks slow down; in May, June and September they open up, with the sea typically around 18 to 19 °C in May.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Hotel Boutique Las Arenas are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a bath, a hairdryer, toiletries, slippers, a minibar, a safe, a desk and a TV, with free wifi and internet access. Couples can treat the balcony and the garden as the quiet part of the day. Families should note that cots appear on the list and that non-smoking rooms are available alongside a smoking area. Late arrivals will want to confirm reception hours and the check-in window with the hotel before travelling.

Beyond the room, the property lists a swimming pool, a solarium, a terrace, a garden and a lounge, plus a restaurant, a bar and a snack service, with special diets provided for on request. Diving and skiing both appear in the facilities list, which is worth confirming with Hotel Boutique Las Arenas when you book. Ask about pool towels, cot charges, laundry service, currency exchange and whether the minibar is stocked on arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.7 km from Hotel Boutique Las Arenas in a straight line, on the far side of the island in Sant Josep. With luggage, the simplest options are the airport taxi rank or a hire car collected on arrival, and the car rental service at the hotel is useful if you prefer to pick up later. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check current routes with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 15.6 km away, is where ferries leave for La Savina on Formentera, with fast crossings of about 30 to 35 minutes at sea; the road or bus journey from Es Canar is the longer part of that trip. Santa Eulària des Riu is 4.2 km from the hotel and Cala Llonga 7.5 km, both simple by local bus or car. Winter brings fewer flights and thinner timetables on this side of Ibiza, so confirm connections with Hotel Boutique Las Arenas before a late arrival.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar bay, 0.4 km from Hotel Boutique Las Arenas, is the closest swim: a sheltered cove with shallow water that suits children. Cala Llonga, a long inlet 7.5 km south, is another calm option, and Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.2 km away, has a promenade and marina for an evening stroll. The Punta Arabí hippy market is 1 km off and the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 2.7 km away; check current market days, as these change through the season.

Eating out on Ibiza means fish. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses with rice, turn up on most menus along this coast, alongside grilled fish and rice dishes. Es Canar and Santa Eulària des Riu have plenty of places to try them, and the restaurant and bar at Hotel Boutique Las Arenas cover simpler meals. The north coast calas, around 9.2 km away, give a good reason to take the car and stop for lunch on the way back.

A day from Hotel Boutique Las Arenas

Start with an early swim at Es Canar, 0.4 km from Hotel Boutique Las Arenas, before the bay fills for the day. Walk 1 km to the Punta Arabí market ground if your stay falls on a market day, then take a bus or drive 4.2 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade, the marina and a late morning coffee. In the afternoon, Cala Llonga is 7.5 km away for a second swim in a long, sheltered inlet.

Late afternoon suits the north: the coast calas around 9.2 km from the hotel are quieter than the resort, and Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 2.7 km off, makes a natural stop on the way back, though you should check which days it opens. Return to Es Canar for dinner, with the listed restaurant and bar at Hotel Boutique Las Arenas as the easy fallback after a long day of driving and swimming.

Practical tips

Hotel Boutique Las Arenas works best as a base between roughly May and October, when the Es Canar resort is fully awake. Many beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza shut roughly from November to April, and flights thin out, although Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.2 km away, keeps a year-round core of shops and services; always check the hotel's own opening dates. Demand is highest in midsummer. Accommodation in the Balearics also carries the ecotasa, a sustainable tourism tax charged per person per night by the property, with rates that vary by category and season, fall in low season and for longer stays, and exempt children under 16; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rates.
