A leisurely stroll around Agroturismo Ca N'Arabi is nothing less than an aromatic adventure, reeling you in with the heady rich scent of roses from canopies overhead, then capturing your attention with the freshness of lavender and jasmine. Over 5000 trees, including zesty lemon, orange and mandarin, plus lush olive groves, complete the olfactory experience.
Once inside, the sensory journey continues as each of the 12 bright and airy double rooms are named for a fruit or plant found on the property – such as Naranjo (orange tree), Olivo (olive) or Limonero (lemon tree) – and subtly decorated with a colour scheme to match, by way of high ceilings, walls and lovingly restored furniture.
Enjoy an indulgent breakfast of homemade croissants, pastries, cold cuts, yoghurt, eggs, sausage, salmon and more on your shaded terrace or amongst the beautiful surrounds of Ca N'Arabi's courtyard. Still peckish? A chef is on standby 24/7 in the restaurant just two kilometres and a ten-minute drive from Ibiza town, it could be said Ca N'Arabi – once a wheat and dairy farm - sits in the perfect location. Blessed with views of sunrise and sunset, the land is drenched in light all day long as the sun travels from east to west – perfect for the organic produce grown on site and even better for topping up tans.
With one stunning lap pool and another featuring a Jacuzzi, lazing around Ca N'Arabi couldn’t be any easier. New for 2009 are teak cabanas from Bali, alongside an array of day beds, sun lounges and white umbrellas, with a poolside menu of fresh juices and cocktails available.
Run with love, attention to detail and a philosophy that whatever a guest wants they shall receive, Ca N'Arabi successfully sates all our senses.
