Sandic Apartments

About Sandic Apartments

Sandic Apartments are a budget self-catering option in Es Canar, on Ibiza’s east coast. The one-star complex suits travellers who want a simple base with a pool and bar, close to a sheltered beach and the weekly Punta Arabí hippy market. The apartments have a terrace, free WiFi and a sofa bed, and the site includes a kids’ pool and a pool bar. There is no guest score listed.

The property is about 0.5 km straight line from Es Canar village and its beach, and 4.1 km from Santa Eulària des Riu. The area is quieter than the south and west coasts, with a family feel and a handful of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The apartments are not beachfront but the beach and market are a short walk away.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar is a sheltered bay on the east coast, with a long sandy beach that slopes gently into shallow water. The village has a small supermarket, a few cafés and the Punta Arabí hippy market every Wednesday in season. Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.1 km straight line, has a promenade, a marina and more shops and restaurants open year-round. The area is less crowded than Playa d’en Bossa or Sant Antoni, especially outside July and August.

In high summer the beach and market draw crowds, but the apartments are set back from the main strip. In the shoulder months of May, June and September the pace is slower and parking is easier. A car is useful for reaching other coves and the north coast calas, though a seasonal bus runs between Es Canar, Santa Eulària and Ibiza Town. The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the apartments.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed as one-star self-catering units with a terrace, a sofa bed and a safe. Facilities include free WiFi, a lift, luggage storage and wheelchair access. The complex has an outdoor pool, a kids’ pool, a pool bar and a bar or snack café, plus a restaurant. There is no mention of air conditioning or a private kitchen in the listing, so confirm what is in the room when booking.

For families, the kids’ pool and the nearby shallow beach are practical. Couples may prefer the quieter end of the season. Late arrivals should check the reception hours and luggage storage options. The property does not allow pets. Free car parking is listed, which is useful given the distance from the airport and Ibiza Town.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.6 km straight line from Sandic Apartments. A taxi takes about 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. The airport bus runs to Santa Eulària des Riu, about 4 km away, from where a short taxi or bus ride reaches Es Canar. A hire car gives flexibility for exploring the island and visiting the north coast calas. In winter, flights and bus services are reduced.

Ibiza Town port is 15.4 km straight line from the apartments. From the port, a taxi or hire car is the most direct option. Buses from the port to Santa Eulària run more frequently in summer. For those arriving by ferry from Formentera or the mainland, the same route applies. The apartments’ free parking is a practical advantage for guests with a car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar beach is 0.5 km straight line from the apartments, a sandy cove with shallow water and a few beach bars. The Punta Arabí hippy market, 1 km away, operates on Wednesdays in season and sells crafts, clothes and food. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, 2.9 km straight line, is held on Saturdays (check current days). The north coast calas, about 9.5 km away, are best reached by car or seasonal bus.

Santa Eulària des Riu, 4.1 km away, has a riverside promenade, a marina and a range of restaurants serving fish stews and rice dishes typical of the island. Cala Llonga, 7.3 km straight line, is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water. For a day trip, Ibiza Town’s Dalt Vila and the Ses Salines Natural Park are within easy driving distance.

A day from Sandic Apartments

Start the morning with a short walk to Es Canar beach for a swim in the shallow water. After breakfast at the apartment, walk to the Punta Arabí hippy market if it is a Wednesday, or drive 2.9 km to Las Dalias market on a Saturday. For a quieter morning, head 4.1 km to Santa Eulària des Riu and walk along the promenade or browse the shops.

In the afternoon, drive 9.5 km to the north coast calas for a swim in a pine-ringed cove. Return to the apartment for a rest by the pool or at the pool bar. In the evening, eat at one of the restaurants in Es Canar or drive to Santa Eulària for a wider choice. The beach is also a short walk for a sunset stroll.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza’s tourism business closes from roughly November to April; check Sandic Apartments’ opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and busier beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and category and is reduced for longer stays; children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
