Dozens of caravans or caravan minibuses are offered, allowing you to spend the night. airbnb as tourist accommodation in natural areas From the island of Ibiza. Despite the risk this involved and the risk that the Sant Josep Local Police had warned a few days ago.

“We’re encountering pirates hiring private cars,” the agents said in a note last Friday, in which they announced they had launched a “monitoring campaign to camp in environmentally relevant areas.” A text in which those who rent these accommodations for tourists criticize their unscrupulousness for being misinformed about where they can camp, including in protected areas. In fact, Sant Josep agents mentioned Ses Salines Nature Park and the ANEI area among the places where the caravans were located (Natural Special Interest) Cala d’Hort. In addition, they warn of the risk of fires by bypassing the ban on fires, which they remember includes camping gas, which most of these accommodations have to cook or heat. In fact, firefighters had to put out a forest fire in the municipality of Sant Joan last Sunday afternoon. The fire started in a trailer parked among completely burning trees. Another important risk is the residues they leave in the fields.

Take a look at Airbnb, the excellent tourist rental platform, to find dozens of these cars on offer to spend a few days on the island. Almost all of them contain photographs in their galleries with views of es Vedrà, taken precisely in the area of ​​Cala d’Hort. They are also strategically placed in parking lots and woodlands near some of the most popular beaches, such as Platges de Comte or Benirràs. Most hosts indicate on these listings that they will provide guests with a guide to the best campgrounds.

The two of them literally seem to be parked in the còdols area. One is on the beach of Cala Salada or in Port de ses Caletes. Best way to discover “magical corners”, “romantic stay”, “forget hotel reservation”, “best way to explore the island”, “most authentic Ibiza”“an unforgettable experience”, “wild landscapes”, “enjoy hippie Ibiza”, “discover hidden corners”… These are just some of the most used phrases. It is particularly surprising that different ads for different vehicles allegedly run by different hosts use exactly the same words in ads for “sleeping under the stars and by the sea”.

“Extra” services

Some make their own august with this job. This is the case of Gaston, a chef who works in Ibiza for the season and has eight trailers in his profile to rent to tourists. It ranges from 120 to 202 per night. (plus cleaning fees and service charge) more than 1,200 euros per day. For this only accomodation, because picking them up or returning them to the airport costs 20 Euros, the same as late check-out. Other alternative jobs include renting a bike or arranging boat trips around es Vedrà or to Formentera. Some hosts not only charge cleaning fees, but also require guests to return the vehicle like gold squirts. “There’s a broom and bags,” says Lauren in an old van advertisement. “He’s in excellent condition for his age,” she admits.

It is surprising to find some caravans in different advertisements.
