If you are looking for the other side of Ibiza this summer for your accommodation, you will find no greater expression of this than Can Pujolet. A converted traditional-style finca in the north west of the island near to the village of Santa Inés; it offers tranquillity, relaxation and the ability to truly get back to nature in the midst of the Amunts Nature Park, a protected area of natural beauty.
With a philosophy of promoting restfulness, the hotel provides 10 rooms, each with their own particular flavour: all have been designed specially to provide privacy and quiet for all guests. The surrounding fields provide extra peace and the hotel is world away from the more mainstream types of accommodation available on the island. In addition there is a separate apartment and a bungalow for those who want more self-contained seclusion or the ability to share these spaces with invited guests.
Fresh hyper-local food
The focus on the natural is a very important part of this agrotourism hotel: fresh fruit and vegetables are grown organically in Can Pujolet's own fields, with all remaining produce being equally hyper-local, coming from the surrounding countryside of nearby Santa Inés and San Mateo. The hotel's restaurant serves up this seasonal food for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the accent on local Ibicenco dishes.
Guests are encouraged to relax in its garden, set in an olive grove with beautiful plants and flowers. Here you will find a large swimming pool that uses salt in the place of harsh chemicals, giving the waters a crystal-clear clarity. There is also a solarium and Jacuzzi and it is here where the bar-restaurant is located.
Surrounded by natural beauty
The surrounding area of Es Amunts provides lots of opportunities to discover the natural beauty of the area. Walking around, the visitor is treated to the sight of pretty native orchids, old stone beehives and limestone ovens. It is also possible to glimpse the spectacular beauty of the nearby cliffs as well as rich sunsets; and, with little light pollution, it's also a good spot for stargazing. It is also near to the summit of Camp Vell, the second highest on the island, which gives a panoramic 180-degree view of sites like the moli of Formentera, Es Vedrà and even D'alt Vila.
With a reputation of providing attentive service and all the information that a visitor might require, Can Pujolet has garnered great reviews for its offering, including a five-star Tripadvisor rating. Providing a very different proposition to that of the superclubs of the south, the hotel gives you an opportunity to experience an Ibiza from times past. There is of course easy access to more lively activities should this be required: the finca is located just 15 minutes from either San Antonio and around half an hour from Ibiza Town.
If you are looking for a natural and original place to stay on Ibiza, Can Pujolet is the place that can truly re-awaken the senses, so book now before everyone else does.
