A guide to Playa es Cana holidays

Food & drink in Playa es Cana

Seafood paella is a firm favourite on the island with the catch of the day making its way to restaurants by lunchtime. But, there is more on the menu than just seafood. You’ll find sobrasada sausage, tapas with cured meats, creamy cheeses and Spanish omelettes. Due to their siesta, in Spain, locals tend to eat dinner later than we would, past 8 pm. This means restaurants will be busier as the evening continues.

Beautiful beaches in Playa es Cana

The central beach is a picturesque spot to unwind in. Fringed with leafy palm trees, the soft sand shelves gently into the waves. The curving bay is about 300 metres long and full of plenty of loungers to relax on. If you would like a spot of adventure, take to the sea for watersports including pedalos, banana boats, parasailing and waterskiing. There’s a quaint harbour to one side where you can see plenty of fishing boats and yachts. Enjoy the beachside restaurants and relax well into the evening.

Things to do in Playa es Cana

In the Playa es Cana resort, there are a lot of activities you can do by the beach and in the surrounding areas. Enjoy the laid-back nature of Es Cana holidays with some of the best things to do in the area.

Hippy market: In Punta Arabi, only slightly along the shore, is the famous Hippy Market. Brimming with stalls, the market first opened in 1973 and is the largest market in Ibiza. There are more than 500 different stalls selling everything from homemade jewellery, pottery, accessories and trinkets. Pick up handmade cards and personable souvenirs to take home. As well as shopping, the atmosphere in the Hippy Market is vibrant. Enjoy live music, street performers and entertainment. With places to grab a bite to eat, you can spend all afternoon here soaking up the fun-spirited mood.

Cala Nova: Cala Nova is a surfer’s paradise. The sheltered cove and rocky peninsula mean the wind can push larger waves to shore, curating great conditions for surfing and other watersports. Enjoy the warm waters of Ibiza, the adventures of the waves and the picturesque sight of the rustic nature that adorns the coastline.

Acrobosc Ibiza: If you’re with the family or are up for an adventure, pay a visit to Acrobosc Ibiza. This exciting park is fun for kids and big kids alike. Enjoy three adventurous trails through the lush canopy where you can navigate through 49 obstacles that stand at a knee-trembling two to six metres above the ground. Tiptoe across rickety bridges, over tightropes and whirl down zip lines. There are 20 zip lines to accomplish that are all different and range from four to 65 metres in length.
