Santa Eulalia for a villa holiday
Santa Eulalia (Santa Eulària des Riu) is the town many families and long-time visitors choose for their villa holiday: a palm-lined promenade along the sea, a marina, a street of restaurants and calm, sandy beaches, with no party scene. It is a real town that lives all year, so restaurants and shops stay open in May and October, when the resort areas close.
Our villas here are in and around the town and in S'Argamassa, the quieter residential area to the north-east, close to the beaches of S'Argamassa and Cala Pada. The east side also gives a lot of house for the money: in our 2027 villa price guide, the median peak week for a villa with four bedrooms or more in the east is about €15,800, against about €27,100 in the south-west.
In and around the town
The promenade and the marina: a palm-lined promenade runs along the town beach to the marina, with cafés and restaurants all the way.
Restaurant street: Calle San Vicente, a pedestrian street a block back from the sea, is lined with restaurants.
Puig de Missa: the hill above the town, crowned by a white fortified church, has the best view over Santa Eulalia and its river, often described as the only one in the Balearic Islands.
Beaches: the town beach, S'Argamassa and Cala Pada are sandy and calm. Cala Llonga, to the south, is a sheltered bay in a green valley, and Es Canar, to the north, has a family beach and the Wednesday hippy market of Punta Arabí. Further north, Cala Nova, Cala Llenya and Cala Mastella are smaller and wilder.
Markets: besides Punta Arabí, the Saturday market at Las Dalias in San Carlos is about ten minutes away.
Getting there and around
Ibiza Town is about 20 minutes away by car and the airport about 25 to 30. Santa Eulalia is one of the few places on the island where you can walk to restaurants from some villas; for the others a car is the easiest way around, and we can arrange a driver or transfers.
Golf Ibiza, the island's golf course, is about ten minutes away near Roca Llisa. Also on the east side are our villas in Jesús, between Ibiza Town and the eastern bays, and in San Carlos; our guide to where to stay in Ibiza compares every area, and our family-friendly villas are listed together.
