Local Area
The apartment is in the village of Siesta, a short walk from the main town of Santa Eulalia del Rio. A 15-minute stroll will take you past the island’s only river, which lends the town its name, and across a new bridge where a handful of men and boys can often be spotted fishing from the banks. The sea-front promenade then takes you past the sandy south beach with its many bars and water sports to the sweeping equally sandy north beach and the main town.
There are plenty of car hire companies in Siesta and Santa Eulalia. There are still many small secluded beaches to discover that can only be accessed by car and foot. Aside from its hidden coves and pine trees, Ibiza’s generally quiet roads will take you to explore the island’s many quaint old villages.
Siesta
Siesta is a small village but has many restaurants and tourist shops. A few minutes walk from the apartment, there are two local Spa corner shops where you can buy fresh food, meat, groceries and most essential items, although there are two or three more competitively priced supermarkets in Santa Eulalia itself.
There are also bars that offer all sorts of drinks and hot and cold snacks, great for breakfast if you simply don't feel like making it yourself. The restaurants cater for most tastes - Spanish, Italian, Indian, British and German among others. There are also shops selling English newspapers, beachwear and beach toys, postcards, and so on.
Santa Eulalia
Be advised that Santa Eulalia is a sleepy resort. A few years ago, the town hall took the decision to close all the discos, so if you fancy a spot of all-night clubbing, a short bus ride will take you to the bright lights of the town of Ibiza.
Santa Eulalia is not only popular with all sorts of tourists for its sunshine and sandy beaches, but also its wide variety of restaurants, cafes and shops. It is ideal for families with kids, maybe with grandparents, honeymooning couples or even adults on their own. You find English, Germans, French, many Spanish, and a few visitors from further afield.
The restaurant district is a pedestrian-only area at night. There is an extensive hippy market every day except Sundays and Wednesdays where you can buy all kinds of local craft goods. There are jewellery, carvings and paintings. Regular boat trips leave Santa Eulalia for the local towns along the east coast of the island, including the capital Ibiza and the neighbouring island of Formentera.
