Hotels near Can Mayans Hipodrom

Can Mayans Hipodrom is the island's main horse-riding centre and offers pony rides for young children alongside full trail rides for adults and older children. It operates year-round on the flat agricultural plain south of Ibiza Town, close to the airport. Pony rides for children under 8 run about 15-20 EUR for 30 minutes; guided beach trail rides for older riders (8+) are about 45-60 EUR per hour and often head towards the salt flats of Las Salinas.

The facility is well-maintained and the horses are used to children. Morning sessions starting before 10 AM avoid the worst of the midday heat, particularly important in July and August when the flat plain south of town has little shade. Booking 24 hours ahead is recommended in peak season.

Pro Tip: Book the 8 AM session in July and August to avoid both the heat and the competition for places. The trail towards Las Salinas salt flats (Ses Salines) passes through flat agricultural land with views of the distant hills and is suitable for beginners - a good first riding experience for children who've never been on a horse.
