5 ways of enjoying Ibiza with children

Our island stands out for being a diversified destination where you can find tourist attractions for all kinds of travelers, including families. The borough of Santa Eulària des Riu, where you find Playa de Es Canar and the hotel Ánfora, has turned into the most familiar of the whole island due to its quiet and safe beaches and the offer of activities suitable for children. Carry on reading and find out how to spend an enjoyable family holiday in Ibiza with the following five proposals.

Es Canar Market

Only at a few minutes walking from the Anfora Hotel, you’ll find the Hippy Market Punta Arabí, also known as the Es Canar Market. Apart from being the biggest in the island, it has a children’s area where the little ones do some kids crafts, play games or participate in workshops. It takes place every Wednesday (April to October), from 10:00 AM to 06:00 PM.

Slide between the trees

The Acrobosc park offers an activity that’s perfect to enjoy with your family at less than 3 km away from Es Canar and the Anfora Hotel. You’ll find five zip lift and bridge circuits: one for children from 3 years old, two for children from 6 years old and one for children from 11 years old. There is also a circuit for adults. You can combine the visit to this attraction with Cala Pada beach, where you can go for a pedalo ride or enjoy a quiet afternoon in its family atmosphere.

Visit an ecological farm

Children really enjoy visiting farms, especially if they live in cities. At only 8 km away from Es Canar and the Anfora Hotel, you can find the ecological farm Can Muson, where you can visit its vegetable gardens, pick up the freshly laid eggs or feed its rabbits, ducks, turkeys, little pigs, goats and hens. Apart from this, they also offer tastings of local products like butiffarra and sobrasada (local sausages), fresh goat cheese and homemade lemonade, amongst other homemade products.

Explore a pirate’s cave

Just a little more than 20 km away from the Anfora Hotel, you’ll find Can Marça, one of the biggest karstic cavities formed 100 000 years ago. The 35 minute guided tours show you spectacular stalactites, stalagmites, columns, roofs and compartments like the Temple, Budha or the cascade ones. You’ll also hear stories of pirates and smugglers, who used it as one of their main hiding places in the island, near Port de San Miquel.
