Indulge in Es Cana holidays 2021

Want to party in Ibiza but still enjoy some downtime? Holidays to Es Caná are the perfect compromise with the promise of peace and quiet as well as wild nights out.

Es Caná has endless appeal for holidaymakers. A crescent of palm-fringed sand looks to the ocean eastward, a host of great bars and restaurants fuel beach days and nights out, and the sunshines almost year-round with warm temperatures in winter and sweltering hot days in summer.

Nature in Es Caná

Es Caná holidays offer an opportunity to explore Ibiza’s best natural wonders. Head north to discover the Can Marça Caves, where unusual rock formations are reflected in astonishingly still pools. Or spot migratory birds and reptiles at the Ses Feixes Wetlands alongside the remains of an ancient Moorish irrigation system. If you’re feeling adventurous, hike up Sa Talaiassa mountain, the highest point on the island where views out to the ocean are spectacular.

Your guide to Es Cana holidays

Time to explore

Top attractions

Holidays to Es Caná will never be boring – whether you want to shop til you drop or simply explore the island of Ibiza, there’s something for everyone here.

Every Wednesday the Punta Arabí Hippy Market brings a chilled-out, good-times vibe to the area. Vibrant textiles, unusual artisanal crafts and fast-flowing drinks make this a brilliant day out and great shopping experience.
Charter a boat to explore Ibiza’s craggy, varied coastline. Vessels leave this part of Ibiza daily for half and full-day tours of secluded coves and idyllic swimming spots.
Spend a day out in Ibiza Old Town, where you can see the ancient citadel of Dalt Vila and the former fishing colony by the sea. The area has been inhabited for over 2,500 years, so it’s a treasure trove of history.
Neighbouring Santa Eulalia is the third-largest resort in Ibiza and makes a great day trip. Nip in and out of art galleries, stroll the swish marina and explore the palm-lined promenade.
Take the opportunity to explore beyond Ibiza with a day trip to Formentera on the ferry. Leaving Santa Eulalia daily, you can hop over to the smaller, more relaxed Balearic isle for a day on its serene sands.

Watersports to try in Es Caná

Active travellers will love the range of watersports available in Es Caná, from high-adrenaline thrills to serene days spent on the water.

For a different perspective on Es Caná, give parasailing a go. Strap into the harness and a giant parachute will hoist you up into the air as a speedboat pulls you along.
Banana boats can be great fun – especially if you’re an ocean lover. Sit atop the inflatable banana and hold on tight – your boat driver will twist and turn until you all end up in the water.
Kayaking is a great way to get fit and enjoy the seaside scenery. Hire single or double kayak and get out on the water, exploring small coves and the rocky coastline at your own pace.
Want to learn a new skill? Try your hand at water skiing, where a speedboat will pull you along as you balance on skis atop the water.
Stand-up paddleboarding is a much more serene way to enjoy the ocean. Practice your balance by standing up and paddling along, or simply relax by kneeling or sitting down and enjoying the sea breeze.

Food & Drink

Eating out

Ibiza is a truly international destination so there’s a restaurant for everyone here, from fast food joints to traditional tapas.

One of the joys of Es Caná is its seafront restaurants. Book in for a meal with a view at one of the many places shacked up along the coast.
For glitz and glam, head to neighbouring Santa Eulalia’s marina for a swish meal in one of its fancy restaurants overlooking the super yachts and expensive boats.
With a large expat community, English pubs abound in Es Caná. Head to The Prince Albert for a British classic: fish and chips and a pint of lager.
Get a taste of Ibiza’s best produce from the market in Ibiza Town. Buy locally made honey, almonds and olive oil to take home as delicious memories.
Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge in classic Spanish tapas. Head to a traditional restaurant and order lots of little plates to share at the table.

Traditional dishes to try in Es Cana

As one of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza has its own strong culture around food and drink. Here’s how to order like a local.

Sofrit pagès is a classic Ibizan dish. A rich, meaty dinner, it comprises lamb, chicken, butifarra and sobrasada sausage with potatoes and garlic.
Aioli is a staple on Ibizan dinner tables. Served at the beginning of a meal with bread or as a side dipping sauce, this garlic mayo is moreish.
Greixonera is a bread-and-butter pudding style dish using stale, left over ensaïmadas (traditional pastries) baked in lemon and cinnamon.
For the drinkers in your party, frigola is a must try. A liqueur distilled with thyme, it’s a fragrant end to any meal.
Paella originated on mainland Spain but it’s a supremely popular dish in Ibiza too. Order yours with plenty of local seafood.

Beaches

Beaches in Es Cana

Sitting on the east coast of Ibiza, Es Caná and its surroundings have plenty of sand well worth laying your towel down on.

Es Caná Beach is the main stretch of sand for visitors to this resort. It’s got everything you need, from sunbeds to pedalos for hire, plus toilets, showers and lifeguards.
South-facing Cala Martina is the ultimate sunbather’s beach, as it’s positioned perfectly for catching the gorgeous summer rays. A surf school and a couple of restaurants serve this beach.
To the north, Cala Nova is a small, quiet stretch of sand where rockpools form amid the craggy outcrops and the sea is ideal for swimming. Backed by a lush forest, there’s plenty of shade and fewer crowds.
Rarely crowded Cala Llenya is a glorious soft-sand beach with sheltered water for swimming and a great bar right on the sand. There’s a car park just two minutes’ walk from the shore, too.
The pine-fringed Playa Niu Blau is a gorgeous spot to spend the day. A quiet stretch of sand, bring a book and find your zen before enjoying a light lunch in one of the two restaurants.

Party beaches in Es Cana

Ibiza isn’t a huge island, so some of the best party beaches are easily accessible from Es Caná. Here’s where to find fellow revellers.

Playa d’en Bossa is party central in Ibiza. Chic and dynamic, this 3km stretch of fine white sand has beach clubs and bars aplenty. Come here to dance all day then cool off in the azure sea.
Cala Jondal is home to the popular Blue Marlin Beach Club, a fashionable hub for day drinkers and dancers to enjoy a little hedonism right by the sea.
Platja de l’Arenal in San Antonio, on the west coast of the island, has plenty of party to enjoy – plus lovely golden sand and gorgeous views over San Antonio Bay.
For a wild beach with a hippy party feel head to Platges de Comte on the west coast. Here, Sunset Ashram serves the drinks and good vibes while dusk puts on a show in the sky come sundown.
A handful of lively beach clubs sit at the southern end of Talamanca Beach on the fringes of Ibiza Town. On the sand, sunbeds are for hire and there are showers and toilets too.

We love

Nightlife in Es Cana

Just because it’s not in the main party town doesn’t mean holidays to Es Caná have to be quiet. There’s plenty of nightlife here for all to enjoy.

A lively beach bar scene peppers the coast of Es Caná, so don your swimsuit and bring your dancing feet for a party right by the sand.
Not far from Ibiza Town, Es Caná is ideally located for nights out in the capital of the island. Seafront bars and tiny boozy boltholes make up the highlights of nightlife here.
On the other side of the island, San Antonio is a veritable party location. Head over for wild nights on the dancefloors in its many clubs and beach bars.
Boat parties abound off the coast of Ibiza, so book onto a vessel where there’s a DJ spinning tunes and a bar serving cocktails all night long. There’s no better way to see in the next day than on the ocean.
Test out your vocal chords at karaoke night at Es Caná’s Red Lion pub. This English bar is a bawdy spot for a crazy night out with friends.

Es Cana family holidays

Family holidays to Es Caná are fun-filled and easy to plan. Whether you’ve got tiny tots or teens in tow, there’s something for all ages here.

Adventurous kids will love the Acrobosc Ibiza Climbing Park. There are zip lines, treetop walkways and climbing walls to test your strength and mettle on.
Take the tourist train from Es Caná to explore northern Ibiza. This fun little vehicle trundles along the coast and inland to quaint villages like San Carlos every Wednesday.
Kids with little legs and low energy levels will love an electric bike tour. Each bike has its own motor to help you along and up and down the hills, so you can explore the region on two wheels without getting exhausted.
Book a family friendly hotel in Es Caná for the ultimate holiday with the kids. Choose one with a kids’ club, splash pool and family rooms.
Aguamar Water Park is a brilliant day out for all the family. Expect twisting slides, steep slippery flumes and swimming pools galore.
