Finca Can Martí is a 400-year-old organic farmstead turned boutique eco-hotel, tucked away in the quiet north of Ibiza near the village of Sant Joan de Labritja. Far from the island’s party scene, it sits in the protected valley of Es Amunts, where pine-covered hills and almond groves stretch for miles. The ethos here is simple: slow down to the pace of nature. Everything about the finca – from its architecture to its food and activities – gently nudges guests into that slower rhythm.

Authentic Agroturismo in Rural Ibiza

The hotel is a cluster of whitewashed Ibicencan farm buildings and a handful of standalone casitas, all restored with rustic charm and ecological principles in mind. There are just eight accommodations (suites and two-bedroom casitas), each with its own relaxed, boho-chic style: natural stone floors, wooden ceiling beams, handcrafted furniture and private garden terraces scented with lavender, jasmine and wild herbs.

Silence and birdsong define the soundscape. Instead of traffic, you hear cicadas, rustling leaves and, occasionally, the soft calls of farm animals. Waking up here, it’s not unusual to see peacocks wandering past your terrace or Ibiza’s rare Ibicenco chickens scratching around the orchards – everyday reminders that this is a living, breathing farm as much as it is a hotel.

Organic Farm Life & Seed-to-Plate Flavours

True to its “authentic agroturismo” label, Finca Can Martí is a fully operational organic farm rooted in permaculture and regenerative agriculture. The gardens and orchards produce an abundance of fruits, vegetables and herbs: citrus and fig trees, rows of seasonal vegetables, watermelons in summer, aromatic herb beds and more – all grown without chemical inputs.

Guests are welcomed into this cycle of growth and harvest. You can stroll the grounds, pick oranges for your morning juice, or help the gardener tug carrots from the rich red soil. An on-site organic farm shop sells the finca’s own produce and house-made products – jams, olive oil, herbal cosmetics – encapsulating a “homegrown to homemade” philosophy.

Breakfast, served under a vine-draped terrace, is a daily celebration of the farm: just-picked fruit, free-range eggs from the finca’s hens, local cheeses, warm breads and simple dishes that let the flavours of organic Ibiza produce shine. Many guests comment that tasting something as humble as a tomato or olive here feels like a revelation.

One of the finca’s most beloved features is its natural swimming pool – a clear, chemical-free freshwater pool filtered entirely by plants and mineral substrates. Taking a dip feels like swimming in a wild pond, with dragonflies skimming the surface and water lilies blooming around the edges.

Deep Green, Off-Grid Sustainability

Finca Can Martí takes sustainability seriously, embedding it into every aspect of life on the property. Electricity comes largely from a substantial solar array, making the finca mostly solar-powered under Ibiza’s generous sun. Water is drawn from a local well and rainwater collection system, then carefully filtered; greywater is reused to irrigate the gardens.

The accommodations were renovated using natural materials and traditional building techniques: thick stone walls for insulation, certified wood, lime-based paints and eco-friendly finishes. All amenities – from organic, toxin-free toiletries to natural linens – are chosen with both guest health and environmental impact in mind.

Waste is minimized through on-site composting and thoughtful waste management, reducing what goes to landfill. These circular systems mean guests can relax knowing their stay leaves a light footprint on Ibiza’s fragile ecosystem. It’s no surprise Can Martí is often cited in sustainable travel circles as a model for circular, low-impact hospitality in the Balearic Islands.

Yoga, Slow Adventures & Simple Pleasures

Despite the rural seclusion, well-being and gentle adventure are central to the Can Martí experience. An open-air yoga deck hosts complimentary yoga classes several times a week, usually in the soft morning light as the valley slowly wakes. Massage and holistic therapies can be arranged in a dedicated treatment haima (tent) or in the privacy of your suite, deepening the sense of retreat and restoration.

On land, e-bikes and mountain bikes are available for guests to explore the surroundings at their own pace – perhaps cycling the short distance to the bohemian village of Sant Joan for its famous Sunday market, or pedalling further to hidden northern coves such as Cala Xarraca for a swim in the turquoise sea. The team can also lead guided nature walks through nearby forests and hills, sharing knowledge about medicinal plants, local history and the best viewpoints.

On the finca itself, life unfolds slowly: a game of pétanque under the palms, an afternoon in one of the “zen zones” with hammocks and daybeds scattered through the gardens, or a visit to meet the resident animals. Donkeys, goats and other creatures play a practical role in land management, but they also delight children and animal lovers.

Evenings are often marked by communal dinners or barbecues under star-filled skies. Lanterns flicker, people gather around long tables, conversations flow and sometimes a local musician provides gentle entertainment. There is always space for solitude, yet a sense of easy community often emerges among guests.

Family-Friendly, Soulful Ibiza

Unlike many ultra-quiet retreats, Finca Can Martí welcomes children. Two-bedroom casitas work especially well for families, and there is plenty of outdoor space for kids to roam safely, meet the animals and discover nature. At the same time, the finca’s extensive grounds and quiet ethos maintain a peaceful, grown-up ambiance for those seeking rest and reflection.

The overall experience is one of authenticity, comfort and deep eco-consciousness. Can Martí invites guests to connect with the “authentic, rural Ibiza,” where farm and hotel life are gently woven together, and where sustainability and comfort are not in opposition but in harmony.

With over two decades as a pioneering eco-hotel on the island, the owners and team demonstrate real expertise in both regenerative farming and mindful hospitality. The finca is regularly highlighted as one of Europe’s standout eco-retreats and earns glowing reviews from guests who describe their stay as both grounding and inspiring.

For travellers seeking a softer side of Ibiza – one of sunrise yoga, organic gardens, star-lit silence and meaningful connection to the land – Finca Can Martí is an ideal haven. It proves that luxury can be simple, sustainable and profoundly rooted in place. Here, you don’t just visit: you slow down, breathe more deeply and fall into step with Ibiza’s natural rhythms.
