About Stoke Villa Ibiza

Stoke Villa Ibiza suits travellers who want a simple, independent base on the east coast of Ibiza, close to the sheltered family beach at Es Canar and the Wednesday Punta Arabí hippy market.

This is a no-frills stay for guests who plan to spend most of their time outdoors. The villa provides free car parking, free WiFi and a terrace, plus access to a picnic area and a smoking area.

Location: Es Canar

Stoke Villa Ibiza is in the Disseminat 86 Poligon 1 area, about 1.2 km in a straight line from Es Canar. Es Canar is a sheltered family beach with shallow water and the weekly Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Santa Eulària des Riu is 3.7 km away, a river town with a promenade, a marina and a quieter evening scene. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 6.6 km away.

In high summer the area is busy with day-trippers and market-goers, especially on Wednesdays. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the pace is slower, and the beach and coves are less crowded. A car is useful for reaching the north coast calas (10.1 km straight line) and other parts of the island. Seasonal buses serve Es Canar and Santa Eulària; check the island bus operator for current routes and timetables.

Couples and families are both catered for, though the exact layout and number of bedrooms should be confirmed with the property directly. Late arrivals are possible thanks to the reception and concierge service. The listed facilities do not mention air conditioning or a pool, so check with Stoke Villa Ibiza about cooling options and any extra charges before booking.

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 21.9 km in a straight line from Stoke Villa Ibiza. A taxi from the airport takes about 25-30 minutes depending on traffic.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Stoke Villa Ibiza for its opening months. July and August are the peak, with higher demand and more crowds at the beach and market. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
