Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort

About Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort

Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort suits families and couples who want a calm base on Ibiza's east coast, with the water within a short walk and the island's road links easy to reach. The inlet at Cala Llonga is a long, sheltered bay between wooded headlands, with shallow water for children, and the hotel is 0.3 km from it. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, is 3.6 km away.

The property is a three-star resort rather than a small guesthouse, so the day tends to be built around a pool terrace, a garden and a programme of entertainment activities. That mix works for families with young children and for couples travelling in the shoulder months. The address is Apartado De Correos 175, Cala Llonga, on the eastern side of the island.

Location: Cala Llonga

Cala Llonga is a long, sheltered inlet between wooded headlands, with shallow water that suits small children and a beach at the head of the bay. Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort takes its name from the cove and is 0.3 km from the shoreline, so a morning swim is a short walk. Santa Eulària des Riu, with its river mouth, promenade and marina, is 3.6 km away.

For the wider island, a car or a taxi helps. Talamanca is 7.3 km from Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort, Ibiza Town port 8.4 km and the walls of Dalt Vila 9 km, all on the same side of the island. The resort lists car parking and a car rental service, and local buses along this coast run more often in summer; check the island bus operator for current lines. High summer brings the busiest weeks here, while May, June, September and October are quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort are listed with air conditioning, a safe and a TV, and the property lists family rooms as well as single rooms, which helps when part of a group travels alone. Lifts serve the floors, the front desk runs 24 hours, and that desk is useful for late arrivals from the airport. Luggage storage and a cloakroom cover the gap between check-out and a late flight home.

Outside the room, the listed facilities include an outdoor pool with parasols, a kids pool, a garden and a terrace, plus a gymnasium, a sauna and a jacuzzi. A game room, a reading room and a lounge fill the middle of the day, and there are bars, a cafe and restaurant service on site. Confirm pool hours, jacuzzi access and any board basis with the property before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 15.6 km from Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage, and collecting a hire car at the airport gives freedom for the rest of the stay, since the resort lists parking and a rental service. Local buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator.

From Ibiza Town port, 8.4 km away, the transfer is short. The port is where ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and Sant Antoni has some mainland routes in season. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so check operators before fixing dates. Taxis and pre-booked transfers both work for the last stretch to Cala Llonga; confirm arrival details with the hotel.

A day from Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort

Mid-morning, take a taxi or drive 3.6 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade, the marina and a coffee.

Practical tips

Outside the main towns, much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check opening dates for Sirenis Cala Llonga Resort before booking a winter stay. July and August bring the highest demand on this coast. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa), charged per person per night by the property, with seasonal rates, reductions for longer stays and an exemption for children under 16; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
