The Local Area
· Beaches: Located overlooking Cala Vadella beach, this is high on the list of reasons to stay at Cana Sofía. Cala Vadella has the reputation of being one of the best beaches on the island. Surrounded by pine clad hills, the fine white sand slopes gently down into shallow waters making this beach ideal for the kids. Beautiful sunsets and never too crowded, Cala Vadella thoroughly deserves its reputation. Also, only a five minute drive away, are the neighbouring coves of Cala D´Hort and Cala Carbó. This South West coast of the island really is ideal for beach lovers, affording amazing sunsets and shallow crystal clear waters. Ideal for water sports, perfect for the kids or simply enjoying the sun on some of the most unspoilt beaches in the Mediterranean.
· Watersports: Cala Vadella has its own dive school on the beach and for the less adventurous there is plenty of excellent snorkelling.
· Cala Vadella: Cala Vadella village has grown around the beach in order to offer all the essential services. Small supermarkets for food shopping, car hire, cash points, souvenirs etc. As well as some excellent restaurants. It´s so well serviced that there is no need to move further than your doorstep should you not wish too.
· Sightseeing: Only a ten minute drive away San José is definitely worth a visit. A typical white washed ibicenco village with lots of charm, it has everything to offer. Sophisticated restaurants, typical tapas bars, and a plethora of shops selling everything from a traditionally woven basket to a designer bag. Open air cinema and live jazz are also the highlights of this, one of my favourite villages on the island.
· Dining: First of all, no dining recommendation would be complete without mentioning our property owners own restaurant, also named Cana Sofía. Right on the beach with a huge terrace and ample inside dining, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Run by Moisés and his wife, this is one of the few restaurants on the island to have the Spanish equivalent of a Michelin star. Moisés himself is currently runner up chef of the year for the whole of the Balearics and 5th in the nationwide competition. Cala Vadella has some great beach bars and restaurants but this is without doubt my favourite. A hidden gem!
· Getting around: Local buses are plentiful and run practically around the clock, but order in order to make the most of your visit to the island, a car is recommended.
· Nightlife: Ibiza is world famous for its´ nightlife and whilst Cana Sofía is quietly tucked away, for those of you who couldn´t go home without having experienced it, Amnesia and Privilege are only a twenty minute drive away.
