Villa Can Curreu

About Villa Can Curreu

Villa Can Curreu suits travellers who want a base in the quiet north-east of Ibiza rather than a resort strip. The three-star property sits outside Sant Carles de Peralta, and works for families, groups of friends or couples who plan to cook, drive out to coves and come back to a garden and pool at the end of the day. Markets, beaches and a year-round town are short drives away, which shapes the rhythm of a stay here.

Villa Can Curreu is graded three stars and classed as an apartment or villa, which shapes the kind of holiday it supports. Self-catering equipment, outdoor space and a rural setting point to a slower, self-directed stay, with breakfast listed for mornings when cooking is not the plan. Expect to use the place as a base and to travel by car for beaches, markets and the east-coast towns, and the address is a rural one, so a car is worth arranging in advance.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

The setting is rural Sant Carles de Peralta, in the north-east of Ibiza and away from the big resorts. Sant Carles is a scattered village of white houses and fields, known for its market days and for a lived-in feel rather than a promenade. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town with a marina and a centre that stays open all year, is 4 km away in a straight line; Es Canar is 3.8 km away. Cala Sant Vicent lies 7.1 km to the north.

Walking covers the lanes around the property and the 0.7 km to the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles. Everything else is easier with wheels: Cala Sant Vicent is 7.1 km away, Santa Eulària des Riu 4 km and the Punta Arabí market 4.3 km. Buses serve the east coast, with more lines in summer, and the property can point you to current times. High summer slows the roads near the markets; May, June and September feel easier.

Rooms and facilities

Units at Villa Can Curreu are listed with air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette with fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher and washing machine, plus TV, safe and iron and board. Bathrooms list a bath, hairdryer and toiletries. Families can ask about cots, high chairs and family rooms. Outside, the listed spaces include a pool, garden, terrace, patio and picnic area, with parking and wifi. Confirm tennis, the solarium and the bar for your dates.

The property also lists a wide set of activity and service items, from archery, bowling, squash and aerobics to diving, fishing, surfing and horse riding, along with babysitting, housekeeping, laundry, car rental and a shuttle service. Treat these as listed amenities to ask about rather than fixed arrangements: check which are on site, which are organised nearby and which run only in season. Late arrivals should confirm check-in and any shuttle in advance, as the address is a rural lane.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 22.2 km from Villa Can Curreu in a straight line, on the far side of the island in Sant Josep. With luggage, the straightforward option is a taxi from the terminal or a hire car picked up there, then the eastward run towards Sant Carles de Peralta. Airport buses serve Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària des Riu, with more lines in summer; the final stretch needs a taxi, so check times with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 15.2 km away in a straight line, is the arrival point for ferries from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; the drive east from there is similar. Supplies come easiest from Santa Eulària des Riu, 4 km from Villa Can Curreu, with Es Canar 3.8 km away and Cala Sant Vicent 7.1 km away. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings and thinner bus timetables, so confirm both with the operators and the property.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Swimming means a short drive: Es Canar, a sheltered family beach, is 3.8 km from Villa Can Curreu, and Cala Sant Vicent, a pine-backed bay in the north, is 7.1 km away. Kayaking the north coast calas is listed 6.7 km from the property. Inland, the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 0.7 km away and the Punta Arabí market at Es Canar is 4.3 km away. Market days change, so check current days with the island council.

Food along this coast follows the sea: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, are what to look for, alongside fresh fish and rice dishes. Santa Eulària des Riu, 4 km from Villa Can Curreu, holds the widest choice of places to eat nearby and stays open outside the season, which matters in a rural corner where many kitchens shut in winter.

A day from Villa Can Curreu

Begin with the 0.7 km walk from Villa Can Curreu to Sant Carles de Peralta and the Las Dalias market, then drive 7.1 km north to Cala Sant Vicent for a swim before the bay fills. Or head 6.7 km out to kayak the north coast calas while the water is calm. Come back for lunch and the pool during the hottest hours. Both plans rely on a car or a lift arranged in advance.

In the afternoon, drive 4 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina, or 3.8 km to Es Canar if shallow water suits the group. The Punta Arabí market at Es Canar, 4.3 km from Villa Can Curreu, runs on its own days, so check before building the afternoon around it. A late dinner of fish and rice rounds off the day; without a car, book taxis for the return.

Practical tips

Villa Can Curreu sits where several hotels, beach bars and seasonal bus lines shut roughly from November to April, so confirm opening dates and any seasonal facilities with the property before booking. Peak demand falls in July and August, when the roads around the Sant Carles markets are at their slowest. Accommodation carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night: rates vary by season and category, under-16s are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the rules.
