Location
About the surrounding area of Finca AlbarcaFinca Albarca is located close to the pretty rural village of Santa Gertrudis - one of Ibiza's most beautiful areas and a firm favourite with both locals and visitors. People come here to enjoy the village's relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere, delightful central square, and agricultural scenery, which is home to lush fruit orchards, sheep, goats, and the island's only dairy cows. Santa Gertrudis' is an area steeped in tradition, and the main village square is overlooked by its whitewashed fortress church, which has a distinctive yellow tower. There is a pedestrian-friendly plaza where you'll find plenty in the way of bars, restaurants and shops, so you'll find plenty to see and do here without having to travel further afield if you don't want to.
Santa Gertrudis has a wonderfully family-friendly vibe, where children can be found playing in the beautifully lit square or fabulous playground late into the evening after dining with their families on the terraces. There are little boutiques and arts and crafts shops open day and night here, so visitors can often be seen strolling through the streets long after the sun has gone down, enjoying Santa Gertrudis' sophisticated, bohemian vibe. The village is home to many artists, musicians and sculptors, and you'll find their works everywhere here in the local galleries, and most famously at Bar Costa, where during the hippy era of the 60s, penniless artists would come to swap paintings for food.
Fresh, local produce is very much on the menu here, with the surrounding areas being home to a variety of fruit and vegetable farms that supply the local restaurants and eateries. Whether you're craving classic Spanish tapas, hearty Italian food, or delicious and innovative vegetarian and vegan options, you'll be spoilt for choice during your stay in the village. Oliver recommends dining at Gitano, whose dining terrace is one of the loveliest spots in the village - we suggest making a reservation as it can get quite busy during the summer months! Cocktail lovers will be in their element here, as the restaurant has a long and extensive list to choose from, and the food is first-rate, with a menu that includes ceviche, wonderfully light tempura and the most incredible sushi. Another popular restaurant in the village is Wild Beets, a stylishly contemporary plant-based restaurant that is popular with vegans and non-vegans alike and is famous for its clean, mostly raw, Instagram-friendly dishes. For those who enjoy fusion cuisine, there's La Paloma restaurant, popular with locals as well as tourists - and even a few celebs! - this Italian-Israeli-run restaurant offers an exciting Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern/North African fusion menu, offering excellent salads, solomillo steak and chicken shawarma, among other tempting dishes.

THE REGION
At the geographical heart of the island, the village of Santa Gertrudis is Ibiza as a microcosm. Steeped in tradition, the main square is overlooked by the whitewashed fortress church with its distinctive yellow tower and surrounded by a cluster of bars, restaurants and shops. Meanwhile, the rich agricultural landscape surrounding the village is home to fruit orchards, sheep, goats and the island's only dairy cows.
The town itself is an attraction. Nearby is the gorgeous Benirrás beach with its beach club Elements Ibiza and hippie bongo drummers playing as the sun goes down on Sundays. Shopping is hard to resist with many lovely boutiques and the auction house Casi Todo to pick up some antiques. There are several annual festivals in Santa Gertrudis, including the Domingo del Arte art festival and the blessing of the animals in the church.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFinca Albarca’s choice of double and twin rooms makes it an ideal choice for families travelling with children. The rooms are spacious and bright, and there are satellite TVs in all of the rooms - ideal if you need to keep the kids entertained while preparing food or planning your day, and all without having to worry about them arguing over what to watch.
A private pool is always a sure-fire hit with the kids, and Finca Albarca’s pool has Roman steps, making it easily accessible for children of all ages. Be aware that the pool is at ground level with no safety barrier or fence, although there is a nice wide walkway around it.
Nearby Santa Gertrudis is a popular choice with families looking for a quiet family getaway, with pretty streets to explore and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy. It’s not uncommon for families who visit the village to spend time relaxing and dining on tapas in the rustic bar that overlooks the main square, where children can play safely, before visiting the well-maintained local park. The village is famous for its arty vibe, so any young art enthusiasts are sure to be in their element here, enjoying the little galleries and street art in the area. If you happen to visit in August, you’ll be able to enjoy the art fair that takes place in the main square, an event that is popular with both visitors and locals.
Santa Gertrudis is not located far from Ibiza town, where you’ll find plenty on offer in the way of family-friendly activities, including water parks, horse riding, cave diving, aquariums and Jeep excursions. Of course, no holiday to Ibiza would be complete without a trip to the beach, and Oliver recommends that families visit Cala Llonga, an especially child-friendly beach that features both a children’s playground and a mini amusement park, as well as amenities such as toilets and beach bar. Cala Llenya is another beach that is great for families with children; there’s plenty of shade here, which makes it a good spot for picnics, and the shallow waters make it perfect for both toddlers and older kids to wade and paddle safely.
