MalaQuita Hotel Boutique

About MalaQuita Hotel Boutique

MalaQuita Hotel Boutique suits couples and small families who want an easy base on Ibiza's east coast without staying in the middle of a resort. The address is Mestral 3 in S'Argamassa, a quiet cluster of lanes between Santa Eulària des Riu and Es Canar. The hotel holds three stars and offers a garden, a pool, a restaurant and free parking, which makes it practical for travellers who plan to drive to the coves and markets nearby.

This is a compact, quiet kind of stay rather than a large resort. The guest score is 4.9/5 from 47 reviews, and the three-star rating fits a well-run property of this size. Expect air conditioning, a balcony in some rooms, a terrace and an outdoor pool, with a bar and restaurant on site. The 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security help if you arrive late on a summer flight.

Location: Es Canar

S'Argamassa sits on the coast road between Santa Eulària des Riu and Es Canar, on the eastern side of Ibiza. Es Canar, 1.6 km away in a straight line, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3 km away, is a river town with a promenade, a marina and slower evenings. Cala Llonga, a long inlet with shallow water, lies 6.3 km off.

The lanes around S'Argamassa can be walked, but for the sand at Es Canar, 1.6 km away, and the town at Santa Eulària des Riu, 3 km away, a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus is the practical choice. Ibiza Town port is 14.4 km off in a straight line and Ibiza Airport is 21.5 km. In high summer the coast road is slow, so mornings are easier; in May, June, September and October the same drives are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at MalaQuita Hotel Boutique are listed with air conditioning, a fan, a balcony, a TV, a safe, a hairdryer and toiletries, and some layouts include a sofa bed, which helps families with older children. Cots are listed too. Couples who want quiet can ask for a room away from the pool terrace. Late arrivals are covered by the 24-hour front desk, 24-hour security and luggage storage.

Confirm with MalaQuita Hotel Boutique which room types carry a balcony or a sofa bed, whether a cot is charged, and how the restaurant and bar run outside the main season. Ask about housekeeping and cleaning routines, laundry service, and whether parking needs reserving in summer. Pool hours, pool towels and the depth of the outdoor pool are worth checking directly, as are check-in and check-out times before travelling.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 21.5 km from MalaQuita Hotel Boutique in a straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. The simplest way to cover the run is a taxi or a hire car, and the coast road brings you up to S'Argamassa from the south. Airport buses serve Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària des Riu, with more lines in summer, so ask the hotel which stop is nearest.

From Ibiza Town port, 14.4 km away in a straight line, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Coming off a boat, take a taxi or collect a hire car for the drive north-east to S'Argamassa. Es Canar is 1.6 km away and Santa Eulària des Riu 3 km, both short hops by taxi. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so check schedules with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar, 1.6 km from MalaQuita Hotel Boutique, has the nearest sheltered family beach, and Cala Llonga, 6.3 km off, is a long inlet with shallow water. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3 km away, adds a promenade and a marina for slower evenings. The Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 2.1 km off and runs on Wednesdays in season; Las Dalias at Sant Carles is 2.7 km away, with Saturdays usual, so check current days.

Local cooking leans on fish and rice: the two-course stew, bullit de peix first and arròs a banda after, is the dish to look for on an east coast menu. Ask MalaQuita Hotel Boutique about the restaurant's own menu and the nearest places to eat in Es Canar and Santa Eulària des Riu. Posidonia seagrass keeps the water clear off S'Argamassa and Es Canar, and anchoring over the meadows is regulated, so check the rules before dropping anchor.

A day from MalaQuita Hotel Boutique

If the visit falls on a Wednesday in season, the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 2.1 km off. Back at the hotel, the pool and garden make an easy lunch stop. Spend the afternoon 3 km away in Santa Eulària des Riu, walking the promenade and the marina.

Later, Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 2.7 km away, with Saturdays as the usual day; confirm current days before setting out. Kayaking the north coast calas, 9.7 km from the hotel, fills a morning or an afternoon if you prefer time on the water. Finish with dinner in Es Canar, 1.6 km off, or along the front at Santa Eulària des Riu, 3 km away, then drive back to S'Argamassa.

Practical tips

MalaQuita Hotel Boutique is best used when the east coast is fully open. Many hotels, beach bars and boat trips on Ibiza shut roughly from November to April, and July and August bring the peak, when parking and pool space at the hotel are in highest demand. Check the hotel's own opening dates before booking a shoulder-month stay. The Balearic ecotasa, the sustainable tourism tax, is added per person per night by the accommodation; the amount varies with the category and season, is lower in low season and for longer stays, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
