About Santa Eulalia
Santa Eulalia del Río is Ibiza's quiet family resort on the east coast - a charming small town that proves the Balearic island has much more to offer than clubbing and party excesses. As the third largest town in Ibiza, Santa Eulalia has developed its own identity: cultured, family-friendly, and with one of the most beautiful promenades on the entire island. Here, families stroll with strollers, while partygoers stumble elsewhere on Ibiza. The elegant promenade stretches for several kilometers along the coast and is lined with palm trees, restaurants, and small boutiques. The town beach itself is wide, sandy, and equipped with all amenities - lifeguards, playgrounds, sun loungers, and a gentle entry into the sea, ideal for children. Within walking distance are other beaches like Cala Llonga and Es Canar, known for its legendary hippie market. On Puig de Missa, the hill above the town, stands a white fortified church from the 16th century, watching over Santa Eulalia like a fortress. The ascent through narrow streets with whitewashed houses rewards visitors with a panoramic view over the red roofs of the town, the harbor, and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The ethnographic museum next to the church showcases the rural life of Ibiza in past centuries. Santa Eulalia is the only place in Ibiza with a real river - the Río de Santa Eulalia, which is usually dry in summer. The marina is a popular meeting point with top-notch fish restaurants, and it hosts elegant sailboats and catamarans offering day trips to the surrounding coves. From Santa Eulalia, you can reach the most beautiful coves on the east coast within a few minutes by car. From Germany, it takes about 2.5 hours to fly to Ibiza, and Santa Eulalia is a 20-minute drive from the airport. The best travel time is from May to October, although the town is pleasantly mild even in the off-season due to its Mediterranean climate.
