Location
About the surrounding area of Finca MelvinFinca Melvin is situated close to the village of San Carlos, an area that was famous in the 1960s and 1970s as a hippy village but that is still popular today with those that enjoy peace, tranquillity and community spirit.
The village enjoys a bohemian yet cosmopolitan ambience, featuring a mix of traditional, modest fincas alongside newer properties that have been built to reflect the style and charm of this beautiful location, all surrounding the beautiful white church at the centre of the village. You’ll find a good selection of bars and restaurants in San Carlos, including the famous Anita’s Bar - once famous with the hippy community as they had the only phone in the village - the original booth is still there (and functional!) today. Whether you’re after a sleepy cafe or a fine-dining experience, you’re sure to find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and once you’ve enjoyed some of the local delicacies on offer, be sure to stroll through the village to the surrounding shops where you can browse for colourful fashions and charming souvenirs.
While you are staying in the village, Oliver recommends heading to nearby Las Dalias (less than 1km from San Carlos) and visiting the original hippy market, where you’ll find larger-than-life characters and vibrant stalls on the ivy-covered terraces and courtyards. During the summer months, the market is there long into the evening, slowly giving way to the nighttime events that take place on the beautiful open-air terrace, continuing later in the village’s club, Akasha, which features incredible acoustics, cool design, and DJs and live acts from around the world.
San Carlos itself is at a junction that branches off to some gorgeous local beaches, including Cala Lena, Cala Nova and the nudist-friendly Aguas Blancas - all featuring facilities including loungers, parasols, and lifeguards, with restaurants and beach bars nearby. Cala Lena is particularly popular with families as there is good access for pushchairs and the disabled, toilets, clear, shallow waters (ideal for the kids!), and pine trees offering shade - perfect for a secluded and relaxing picnic with family and friends.

THE REGION
Pretty, convenient and family-friendly, the northern village of San Carlos is one of the most charming villages on the island. Once the hippie heart of the island, there is plenty of history soaked into its streets and today still boasts a wonderfully bohemian vibe.
There is a good selection of restaurants and bars - they all have one thing in common; a friendly, welcoming atmosphere; it is easy to get into a conversation here. The surrounding shops invite you to browse through colourful fashion or householding items, here you can find nice souvenirs at reasonable prices.
Nearby beaches include the diminutive and lovely Cala Mastella, Pou des Lleo and the dramatic Cala Boix. Oh, and don’t forget to try the amazing ice cream at Vicio on the main street.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFinca Melvin is a popular choice of holiday accommodation for families with children, largely thanks to its private location, meaning the kids can play in peace and safety. The villa boasts a private pool with a separate area for children - ideal if you are travelling with very young kids - and there is a good mix of both double and twin bedrooms. There are some steps within the villa, as well as outside, so little ones who are unsteady on their feet will need some supervision, but Finca Melvin has a lovely family vibe and home-from-home comforts such as satellite TVs in the living area and all the bedrooms, as well as air conditioning throughout to make your stay with the kids as comfortable as possible.
San Carlos is a popular area with families thanks to its pretty, unspoilt surroundings that are away from the hustle and bustle of the main towns. Visitors here can enjoy spending their time exploring the local shops and the famous market and visiting the bars and restaurants. If you visit the area with the kids during the month of June, you’ll be lucky enough to experience the Ai Carai music festival, a free event that focuses on world music, creativity and alternative culture and that always promises to be a riot of music and colour that starts mid-afternoon and goes on late into the night. Stages encircle the town, showcasing performers of a wide variety of musical genres, including rock, reggae, soul, flamenco, jazz and Indian, as well as theatre groups, magicians and circus acts. You’ll also find plenty of food carts, street vendors and market stalls located in between the stages, so you can enjoy reasonably-priced street food and pick up some handmade jewellery and quirky accessories while you enjoy the entertainment. The kids will be in their element here, with specially-designed creative fun zones set up for them, including arts and crafts tents and a circus skills school, where the little ones can try their hand at stilt-walking, trapeze, juggling, and tightrope walking.
If you are visiting Ibiza with the children, you’re sure to want to hit the beach, and San Carlos is ideally located close to several popular family-friendly beaches. Cala Nova is one of the most celebrated, featuring a long, wide curve of sand and shallow waters - perfect for paddling! The water here is particularly clear, so the kids will enjoy spotting the colourful fish or perhaps having a go at snorkelling.
