The town of Santa Eularia des Riu is located along the north-east coast of Ibiza and is a popular destination for families and couples.
Santa Eularia is the third largest town on the island after Eivissa and San Antonio and is located 21 kilometres from Ibiza Airport close to some of the island’s beautiful white sandy beaches including the lovely Mariner beach, Cala de San Vicente, Cala Mastella, Cala Boix, S’Argamassa, Cala Llonga, Cala Llenya, Cala Espart, Cala de s’Aigua Blanca, Es Niu Blau and Cala Gat.
The town, the gastronomic and cultural centre of the island, follows the slope of a small hill dominated by the Church of Our Lady, from where one can enjoy beautiful views, and boasts a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees and a long sandy beach ideal for children, art galleries and some excellent restaurants.
Numerous establishments can be found in Santa Eularia, from 5-star hotels to outstanding boutique hotels and rental flats.
The nightlife, very relaxed and ideal for those who want a quiet holiday, is concentrated around Calle San Jaime, the main street, and Calle San Vicente. The Las Salias club is located 2 km from the centre and organises two big weekly parties, Namaste and Wax Da Jam.
The nearby hippy market of Es Canar and the small village of Santa Gertrudis are very interesting. Not far away is the Ibiza Golf Club.
From the harbour of Santa Eularia, several boats set sail for Formentera and the most beautiful beaches of Ibiza.
The historical heart of Santa Eulària revolves around the majestic Puig de Missa, a hill on which stands the imposing 16th century fortified church. This architectural complex is not only an important historical monument but also offers one of the most impressive views of the city and the coast. The small ethnological museum housed in the premises adjacent to the church preserves valuable evidence of local culture and traditions.
Descending towards the sea, the seafront promenade is one of the city’s jewels. This wide tree-lined avenue, perfectly maintained and full of flower beds, stretches for over two kilometres along the coast. The promenade is flanked on one side by the urban beach and on the other by a selection of quality restaurants, cafés and boutiques.
The marina is another focal point of city life, with its modern facilities and elegant marina where boats of all sizes can be admired. The harbour area is home to some of the city’s best restaurants, specialising in fresh fish and Mediterranean cuisine.
La Rambla, the main pedestrian thoroughfare of the centre, is the beating heart of shopping and social life. Here you will find local craft shops, fashion boutiques, art galleries and outdoor cafés. It is particularly lively during summer evenings, when shops stay open late and bars offer live music.
The Riu de Santa Eulària, the only river in the Balearic Islands, gave its name to the town and today its course is enhanced by a nature trail that allows pleasant walks inland. Along the route you can still see some of the old watermills that once characterised this area.
