Hotel Caribe Ibiza

About Hotel Caribe Ibiza

Hotel Caribe Ibiza suits families who want a base on the east coast with plenty to do on site and a sheltered beach within easy reach. Couples travelling in the shoulder months also fit here, when the pool terrace and the garden are quieter and the Punta Arabí market is a short distance away. The hotel is rated three stars and holds a guest score of 4.2/5 from 1311 reviews.

The appeal is a practical, well-equipped three-star base rather than a design hotel. A guest score of 4.2/5 from 1311 reviews points to a steady, popular house, and the layout suits families who want a pool, a garden and a playground without leaving the grounds. Couples use it as an east-coast base outside the school holidays, with Es Canar 0.6 km away for an early swim.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar sits on the east coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, and is known for its sheltered family beach and the Wednesday hippy market at Punta Arabí. Hotel Caribe Ibiza is 0.6 km from Es Canar and 1.1 km from the market, so both are easy on foot. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, with a promenade and a marina, is 4.1 km away.

High summer brings the market crowds and a full pool terrace, and the beach at Es Canar fills early in the day. June, September and October are calmer along this stretch of coast, and the entertainment at Hotel Caribe Ibiza runs at an easier pace. Cala Llonga is 7.4 km south, and the north coast calas where kayaks go out are 9.2 km off; both are easiest by car or taxi, and buses thin out outside the season.

Rooms and facilities

Listed room features at Hotel Caribe Ibiza include air conditioning, a balcony, a television, a telephone, a safe and a refrigerator, plus a bath, a hairdryer and toiletries. Family rooms, cots and sofa beds appear on the list for those travelling with children. Late arrivals are covered by the 24-hour front desk, and lifts, luggage storage and a concierge service help at any hour.

Couples tend to use the garden, the terrace and the pool bar, while the fitness centre, massage, aerobics and archery keep active guests busy. There are bars, a lounge and a restaurant serving a buffet. Free car parking, a car rental service, currency exchange and an ATM remove the small frictions of a stay. Confirm the board basis, pool hours, check-in times and cot availability with Hotel Caribe Ibiza before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.6 km from Hotel Caribe Ibiza in a straight line, in the south-west of the island near Ibiza Town. Taxis and hire cars cover the run; buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària des Riu, which is 4.1 km from the hotel. Summer adds lines, so check the island bus operator for current routes and times.

Ibiza Town port, where ferries leave for Formentera and the mainland, is 15.4 km from Hotel Caribe Ibiza, a straightforward run inland by taxi. Guests driving themselves can use the free car parking at the hotel. Flights and ferries are fewer between November and April, so check operator timetables before fixing dates and ask Hotel Caribe Ibiza about its own seasonal calendar.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The beach at Es Canar, 0.6 km from Hotel Caribe Ibiza, is sheltered and shallow, which suits young children. Santa Eulària des Riu is 4.1 km off, with a promenade, a marina and a wider choice of shops; Cala Llonga, a long inlet, is 7.4 km away. The Punta Arabí hippy market runs on Wednesdays in season, 1.1 km from the hotel, and Las Dalias at Sant Carles is 2.6 km off; check the current market days.

Fish cookery is the local benchmark: bullit de peix comes in two courses, and arròs a banda is the rice dish to look for. The north coast calas, 9.2 km from Hotel Caribe Ibiza, are where kayak routes begin. Ibiza Town port is 15.4 km away, so Dalt Vila and its Renaissance walls make a full day rather than an evening trip; the old town is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999.

A day from Hotel Caribe Ibiza

Begin with an early swim at Es Canar, 0.6 km from Hotel Caribe Ibiza, before the bay fills. Then take the 4.1 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and the marina, and come back for the pool and the afternoon entertainment. On a Wednesday in season the Punta Arabí market, 1.1 km away, is the obvious alternative. Walking covers Es Canar; a bus, a taxi or the car covers the town.

Another day heads 7.4 km south to Cala Llonga for a slow morning in the inlet, or 9.2 km north to the calas where kayaks go out. Evenings stay close: dinner from the buffet, a drink at the pool bar, and the entertainment on the terrace. A hire car arranged at the hotel desk or a local taxi covers the longer hops, and seasonal buses serve Santa Eulària des Riu.

Practical tips

There is a season to plan around. Many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Ibiza close roughly from November to April, though Eivissa and Santa Eulària des Riu stay open all year. Check Hotel Caribe Ibiza's opening dates before booking, and note that the busiest weeks fall in late July and August. The accommodation adds the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night; rates vary by category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
