Es Cana/Es Canar is a small beach resort village located about 28 kilometres away from the Ibiza airport in Spain. This is a very popular tourist destination among Europeans and travelers from across the globe. So if you are looking for a relaxing and lively holiday, look no further.

How to reach there?

Es Canar is a part of the Balearic Islands archipelago and one can take a tourist bus or taxi from the Ibiza airport to reach here. It takes about 40 minutes to reach there from the airport. This popular resort of Es Cana is located on the east coast of Ibiza. There are several options of accommodation which include low budget hostels and apartments to high-end state-of- the-art hotels which are complete with gym, sauna baths, multi-cuisine restaurants, bars etc.

Things to do on the magnificent island

If you are looking to relax in the beginning of your vacation, after a hectic work life, then take the first few days easy. Stroll on the coastline to the north to Cala Nova and Cala Leña. These idyllic places are ideal to rest in the shade or to swim from the sandy beaches on a bright sunny day. Choose between the beaches of Cala Martina, S'Argamassa, Cala Pada and Niu Blau and sit on the lounge chairs with a martini or long island iced tea.

After you have taken enough rest for the first few days and have regained your energy, take a walk to the coast to Santa Eulalia and rest on hammocks in the shady areas. Take your swimming gear and have a wonderful experience jumping from the rocks into the water. Bask in the glorious Mediterranean sun on the sandy beaches and get a lovely tan. While going, walk to Santa Eulalia and get a taxi or the ferry-boat back to Es Cana.

Think about some water sports like parasailing, windsurfing and scuba diving. Keep one day aside for taking a fun boat ride and ferry trip around in the coastlines.

Once you have had enough of water and Sun and are ready for some sightseeing, taking a trip on the Tourist Train is the perfect option. This train leaves directly from the resort and leisurely takes you around till the final destination of the historical village of San Carlos. This will be an excellent three-hour scenic tour and you can pack a small picnic basket to enjoy in the trip. Explore the 17th-century farmhouse and pick up a few souvenirs from there. Take a bite to eat with your favorite cocktail at the magnificent Cesar's beach bar, before winding your day and heading back to Es Caná. This trip undoubtedly is a fabulous way to explore and experience some of the special sites and uniqueness of Ibiza.

No trip is complete without some fun shopping. Explore the outskirts of the resort on a Wednesday and you can't take off your eyes from the merchandise sold in the Hippy Market of Punta Arabí. Every woman loves jewelry and you can find some great bargains brought from different parts of the world here. Inexpensive and beautifully crafted silver jewelry from India is very popular among the tourists. Some unique and colorful clothing, shoes and handmade leather goods at a very affordable price will be good gifts for your friends and family back home.

 

On a Saturday afternoon, take a stroll on the road to San Carlos. The Hippy market in Las Dalias boasts of some great hand-crafted products. During summers they also have a night market in Las Dalias and the color and vibe of this place will make you feel light in the head. Enjoy some interesting parties like Namasté with live music and DJs and groove with the latest hits with some lip-smacking local cuisines and cocktails.

Es Cana has all the elements of a perfect holiday without burning a hole in your pocket. So this summer are you going to unwind on the pristine beaches and gain a few pounds gorging on the tapas, slow-roasted free-range rotisserie chicken, sushi, seafood or other Mediterranean cuisines?
