Can Salia’s approach to sustainability begins with its very name. In Spanish, Can Salia means the house of the salicornia — a resilient coastal plant that grows where sea and land meet, adapting naturally to salt, wind, and sun.
That same idea of resilience guides the property as a whole. Rooted in its Mediterranean surroundings, Can Salia is shaped by eco-awarded design choices and thoughtful systems that work quietly in the background. Sustainability here is not an added layer, but an integral part of the experience — refined, balanced, and effortless, just like the island itself.
During the 2020–2021 renovation, Can Salia was wrapped in a high-performance insulation system designed to protect the building from temperature fluctuations. A 5 cm external SATE layer with expanded polystyrene, combined with an internal rock wool lining, allows the walls to function like a giant thermos, retaining freshness in summer and warmth in winter, naturally.
Result: –40% temperature loss
Every Cortizo window and door frame is equipped with smart sensors that quietly look after efficiency. If a window or terrace door is opened while the air conditioning is running, the system automatically switches it off. You enjoy uninterrupted comfort, while energy is never wasted.
Result: Significant energy savings with carefree comfort
On the rooftop, 120 Viessmann solar panels capture Ibiza’s abundant sunlight throughout the year. The clean energy they produce, 56,000 kWh annually, is used directly within the property, reducing reliance on the conventional power grid and making the most of a natural resource that’s always present.
Result: 13.67% energy self-sufficiency
Water at Can Salia is part of a closed, thoughtful cycle. The grey water from showers and sinks is collected, filtered through a double-filtration system, and reused to irrigate the Mediterranean gardens and supply toilet cisterns. Nothing is wasted. It simply returns to where it’s needed most.
Result: 1,491 m³ of water recovered in 2024 (equivalent to 9 Olympic pools)
Movement-activated sensors in corridors, staircases and shared spaces ensure that LED lighting is used only when necessary. Lights turn on as you pass and switch off once the area is empty, an invisible system that enhances comfort while quietly reducing consumption.
Result: Effortless efficiency
In collaboration with COFIB and Ibiza Preservation, Can Salia hosts four stone shelters designed to recreate the natural habitat of the Ibizan lizard, a protected endemic species. Built from stacked local stones, they offer a safe refuge where these small residents can thrive. If you spot one basking in the sun, you’re sharing the space respectfully.
Result: Active protection of an endangered species
Inside your apartment, sustainability is woven into everyday comfort. Filtered water is provided in reusable glass bottles, bathroom amenities are made with 96% natural ingredients and packaged in 100% recycled PET, and the French press produces only compostable waste. If you use the kitchen, biodegradable eco-cleaning products are ready for you: practical choices that never compromise convenience.
Result: Sustainable comfort without giving up anything
Recycling at Can Salia is designed to be intuitive. Inside each apartment, dedicated containers make waste separation simple, while clearly marked recycling stations on every floor take care of the rest. Doing the right thing becomes second nature.
Result: Significant improvement in selective recycling achieved in 2024
Taste of Salia reflects the island’s culinary identity. Mediterranean recipes with an Ibizan soul, prepared using ingredients sourced from nearby producers whenever possible. In 2024, 12% of what we served came from within 50 km. Even the details matter: pasta straws replace plastic and return to compost after use. And for those who love cooking, direct contact with local producers is part of the experience.
Result: Authentic flavour and a local circular economy
Near reception, a dedicated corner brings sustainability into everyday life beyond your stay. Reusable thermoses for excursions, long-lasting organic cotton makeup remover pads, and carefully selected eco-friendly essentials sit alongside handcrafted pieces by a local artisan and garments by an Ibizan designer. Thoughtful objects, made to last and to tell a story.
Result: Sustainability you can take with you
