Living in Ibiza: Life in Santa Eulalia del Río (Santa Eulària des Riu)

Santa Eulalia del Río municipality is one of the island’s most popular places of residency. With an array of beautiful, clean beaches, spectacular forestry, agricultural farmland, charming villages, and a golf course –– it hosts a busy and vibrant atmosphere, with most of its amenities open all year round. It’s most cherished for its family-friendly charm and those wishing to embrace a spirited community all year round. 

The central town, Santa Eulalia, boasts a delightful blend of local traditions and cosmopolitan influences, with a harmonious mix of longtime native residents and international newcomers. This cultural fusion creates a trendy ambience, ensuring Santa Eulalia remains a much-beloved destination.

Santa Eulalia Marina

Santa Eulalia del Río: The Most Trendy Family-Friendly Town on the Island of Ibiza

Santa Eulalia Town was previously more dated, upholding much of its original 1960s and 1970s appeal. However, although many ‘older’ traditional Ibicencan stores, restaurants, and bars are still scattered throughout the town and operate successfully, a surge of modern projects, 5-star hotels, boutiques, and trending social spots has rapidly started to emerge and continues on an upward trajectory.

Recent investments in the town, including many brand-new apartment complexes, alongside an influx of classy cafes, bars, and restaurants, have begun to label Santa Eulalia del Río as a trendy area for young singles, couples, families, and fashionable crowds. Although not yet quite as renowned as some of the most popular areas of San Jose and the south, these recent developments are increasing the town’s up-market status, enhancing its desirability among more affluent clientele and property buyers.

Santa Eulalia del Río: A Casual Cosmopolitan Lifestyle

The beautiful town of Santa Eulalia del Río offers the perfect blend of modern-authentic white-washed architecture, contemporary new-builds (predominantly along the seafront promenade), winding cobbled back-streets, beautifully paved plazas, a central town hall with a lengthy waterfall feature, and scattered sculptures and monuments throughout. Everything one could need, from retail to food, sports, gymnasiums, yoga and pilates studios, supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants and bars, is in the many, with plenty of diversity to suit all.

Over the past few years, a fresh selection of inviting spots to enjoy elegance and style has arrived, creating a casual cosmopolitan lifestyle for locals and tourists day and night. Here we find many new trending eco-friendly and bio-health shops, juice bars, vegan and vegetarian restaurants, including the brand new VE-Cafe, artisan bakeries, and coffee baristas, like the award-winning, ethical Spanish Speciality Coffee Roasters, Meke Cafe, as well as a few additional fine-dining eateries.

Additionally, the brand new W Hotel has brought a 5-star luxury experience to the previously quieter and more authentic end of town. With a matching stylish beachfront restaurant, Chiringuito Blue, which sits adjacent to the hotel exteriors, and some regular sunset and evening parties with A-list resident DJs, W-Hotel has undoubtedly strengthened the town’s overall high-end social expectations.

However, the W-Hotel is not the first 5-star promenade hotel in Santa Eulalia del Río. At the opposite end of town, on Santa Eulalia Marina Port, where you will find a multitude of spectacular yachts and sailing boats, lies the grande luxe Aguas de Ibiza. The recently extended hotel, with its high-class suites, offers an incredibly sleek and modern design, a beautiful underground wellness spa, and numerous cocktail, pool, and chill-out zones. Their brand new roof-top terrace restaurant, Maymanta, claims to be the best gastronomical experience in Ibiza, serving fine-dining Peruvian cuisine with outstanding views across the marina and Santa Eulalia town.


Santa Eulalia del Río: The Beaches

Santa Eulalia Town sits perfectly on the waterfront, spanning three beaches, lined by its stunning palm-filled and night-lit promenade. In the summer, the town’s beaches are naturally bustling with tourism but are never too overwhelming, offering plenty of personal space and freedom to move around. The soft sands and shallow turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and safe for younger children, with regular lifeguards monitoring the area. Santa Eulalia is proudly the first and only smoke-free beach in Ibiza, ensuring an environmentally friendly and pleasurable place for all.

For those who wish to experience full relaxation and a little luxury, a spread of boho-chic beach chiringuitos further down the promenade, slightly past the main town plazas, offer full waiter services with lined sunbeds, personal towels, and parasols.

Evening strolls along the promenade are the perfect way to end the heat of the day during the height of the season. The relaxed night scene comes alive with many independent bars and restaurants serving a fantastic array of global and healthy cuisine, boasting seafront and attractive atmospheres.

In those quieter out-of-season months, the clean white sands are often dotted with local children playing whilst their parents relax and soak up the last few hours of the evening winter sun over coffee. It is not unusual to see regular skaters, rollerbladers, cyclists, and runners taking advantage of the quiet winter promenade, all while overlooking the beautiful views towards the mountain of Siesta.

Outside of the town, the municipality of Santa Eulalia del Río in Ibiza boasts diverse beaches, each offering its unique charm. From the golden sands of Cala Llonga to the tranquil coves of Cala Nova and Cala Martina, a beach suits every preference. Families flock to the calm waters of Es Canar, while surfers and water sports enthusiasts gravitate towards the waves of Aguas Blancas and Cala Mastella. For those seeking seclusion and serenity, the hidden gems of Cala Olivera and Cala Boix provide the perfect escape. Whether you’re searching for vibrant beach bars or secluded coves, Santa Eulalia del Río has a beach to cater to every taste.

Walking Santa Eulalia del Río

Venturing around the town of Santa Eulalia del Río offers so much more than first meets the eye. To explore the urban side and beach promenade is a relaxing stroll that can be undertaken in around an hour or so, and will also cover all those back streets with its little unique boutique fashion stores and restaurants. However, if you want to go further afield, there are also plenty of natural coastal paths, little greenery areas at the mouth of the sea, and wonderful authentic walkways leading to the outstanding mountain-top of Seista with beautiful Mediterranean Sea views. These quieter and relatively unknown spots can be easily reached directly from the town centre on foot and are perfect for a relaxed afternoon out in nature, whether with the family, groups of friends, or strolling with a pet.

The area of Santa Eulalia is marked by its central white church, "Puig de Missa," which sits 52 meters above sea level and offers breathtaking views across the town and over onto the mountainside village of Siesta. Although the climb to the top is quite steep on foot, the views and quaint church are well worth the visit, even if only by car.

Alongside the 300-metre long white sand beaches of Santa Eulalia del Río sits the beautiful close-by beaches on the north-east coast, including Cala Pada, Playa Niu Blau, Cala Martina, Es Cana, Cala Nova, and Cala Llenya. These wonderful, family-friendly and humble spots, which rest in spectacular beauty and tranquillity, all run along one long coastal path to the town of Es Cana and onto the final two beaches. Although it is a long journey from one end to the other, nothing is stopping a shorter walking adventure to any one of these local beaches before returning to the main town. The views and coastal walkway are highly recommended and are one of the very best in the area.

The Santa Eulalia area in Ibiza offers many picturesque hiking trails, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to explore the island’s stunning natural beauty. One popular route begins in the charming village of San Carlos, leading hikers through lush pine forests and along rugged coastal cliffs to Cala Mastella. Another favourite is Pou des Lleó, where visitors can trek along coastal paths dotted with ancient watchtowers and secluded coves, immersing themselves in the island’s rich history and scenic landscapes. With trails catering to all skill levels and interests, exploring the Santa Eulalia area on foot promises an unforgettable adventure amidst Ibiza’s natural wonders.
