About Can Marsá de Baix

Can Marsá de Baix is a self-catering hotel set in the countryside near Santa Eulària des Riu, on the east side of Ibiza. The property is not rated by stars and has no guest score listed. It suits those who want a quiet base with their own cooking facilities, a private outdoor pool and a garden, away from the busier coastal strips. The hotel is a single building with a patio and terrace, surrounded by open land.

The stay is self-contained: guests have a kitchen, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a microwave, plus a TV, CD player and free wifi. The hotel provides a cot and high chairs for families. A fireplace and a smoking area are also listed. The property has free car parking on site. This is a place for independent travellers who prefer to drive to the beach, the town and the markets rather than walk out of the gate.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Can Marsá de Baix is in the rural Diseminado P 14 area, about 2.2 km straight line from Santa Eulària des Riu. Santa Eulària is a river town with a promenade, a marina and a slower pace than the west end. The hotel is not in a village; the nearest settlement is Santa Eulària itself. The countryside around is dry pine and farmland, quiet at night.

In high summer, the roads to Santa Eulària and the nearby beaches get busy, but the hotel's own parking means you can leave the car and walk into town from a short drive. In the shoulder months (May, June, September and October), the area is quieter and the heat less intense. From November to April, many restaurants and seasonal services close; the hotel's opening dates should be checked with the property.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel is listed with a full kitchen (oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker), so guests can cook their own meals. Rooms have air conditioning, a fan, a TV, a CD player and a radio. A safe, hairdryer, iron and board, and toiletries are provided. The property has a fireplace, a terrace and a patio. Free wifi is available in the building.

For families, a cot and high chairs are listed. The outdoor pool and garden give children space to play. Late arrivals should confirm check-in arrangements with the property, as the hotel does not list standard check-in or check-out times. The kitchen and washing machine make longer stays practical. Guests should confirm the exact room layout and the number of bedrooms when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 17.2 km straight line from Can Marsá de Baix. A taxi from the airport takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes by road. A hire car collected at the airport gives the most flexibility for exploring the east and north of the island. Buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària des Riu (more frequent in summer), and from there it is a short taxi ride to the hotel.

Ibiza Town port is about 10.2 km straight line away. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the port, a taxi to the hotel takes about 15 to 20 minutes. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer; check the schedules with the operators. The hotel's own parking means a hire car is the most convenient option.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Can Marsá de Baix whether it is open in those months. July and August are the peak months, with the hottest weather and the busiest roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
