Sirenis Roulette

About Sirenis Roulette

Sirenis Roulette is a three-star hotel in Cala Llonga, on Ibiza's east coast, and it suits families and couples who want a straightforward base beside a sheltered inlet. The bay has shallow water that stays calm for children, and the hotel keeps a pool and solarium for days when the sea is not the plan. Travellers who prefer a modest, functional hotel close to Santa Eulària des Riu rather than a large resort will find the scale comfortable.

This is a compact, practical three-star stay rather than a luxury property. The facilities are listed as a restaurant, bars, an outdoor pool, a gymnasium and a solarium, with air conditioning, a safe, a minibar and a hairdryer in the rooms. Reception runs around the clock, which helps if you arrive on a late flight from Ibiza Airport, 15.6 km away. Currency exchange and laundry service are also listed for longer stays.

Location: Cala Llonga

Cala Llonga is a long, sheltered inlet between wooded headlands, with shallow water that suits children. Sirenis Roulette is 0.3 km from the inlet, a short walk downhill. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest town, has a promenade, a marina and slower evenings, and sits 3.6 km away. Talamanca, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, is 7.3 km to the west.

The wider island is easiest with your own transport. Ibiza Town port is 8.4 km from Sirenis Roulette and Ibiza Airport is 15.6 km, so a car collected on arrival covers the port, the airport and the coast road without much driving. Local buses serve Cala Llonga and Santa Eulària des Riu, with more lines in summer; confirm current times with the island bus operator. High summer fills the inlet early, while May, June and September stay calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, a hairdryer and a television, and the hotel also lists non-smoking rooms, so request one when booking. Couples may prefer a floor away from the pool terrace; families should confirm with Sirenis Roulette whether a room can take an extra bed. Bathrooms are listed with a bath as well as the hairdryer, and the 24-hour reception covers late arrivals.

The facilities are the practical kind: a restaurant, bars, an outdoor pool, a gymnasium and a solarium, with room service and a laundry service for longer stays. Currency exchange at reception saves a trip into Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.6 km away. Check with Sirenis Roulette which bars and the restaurant are open outside the main season, whether pool towels are supplied, and what the current check-in and check-out times are.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 15.6 km from Sirenis Roulette in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the simplest way with luggage; airport buses run to Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. Confirm the current route and times with the island bus operator before relying on a bus.

Ibiza Town port is 8.4 km from Sirenis Roulette, the closest ferry terminal, with sailings to Formentera's La Savina in about 30-35 minutes on fast crossings or about an hour on conventional ones, as well as to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Check the operators for current timetables. Flights and sailings thin out in winter, so confirm timings with Sirenis Roulette and the operators before booking a low-season stay in Cala Llonga.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga, 0.3 km from Sirenis Roulette, is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water for children. Santa Eulària des Riu, 3.6 km away, has a promenade, a marina and a beach on its doorstep. Talamanca, 7.3 km to the west, is a calm shallow bay across the water from Ibiza Town. For a longer beach day, Ses Salines Natural Park lies beyond Ibiza Town, best reached by car.

Two markets sit inland: Las Dalias at Sant Carles is 7.5 km from Sirenis Roulette and the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 7.9 km. Both run on set days in season, so check current days before setting out. Island food is worth building a meal around: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, along with fresh fish and rice dishes.

A day from Sirenis Roulette

Start with a swim at Cala Llonga, 0.3 km from Sirenis Roulette, before the inlet fills in high summer. Drive or take a bus the 3.6 km to Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina, then continue west to Talamanca, 7.3 km from the hotel, a calm shallow bay facing Ibiza Town across the water. Keep the middle of the day free for the pool and solarium back at Sirenis Roulette.

In the late afternoon, head for Dalt Vila, 8.9 km from Sirenis Roulette, and walk the Renaissance walls above the port, with the cathedral at the top. On a market day, Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 7.5 km away, or Punta Arabí at Es Canar, 7.9 km, fills the hours before dinner. Plan the drive back to Cala Llonga for dusk, when the coast road is cooler.

Practical tips

Many Ibiza businesses, from beach bars to seasonal buses and boat trips, close roughly from November to April, so confirm Sirenis Roulette's own opening dates before booking outside the main season. High summer brings the crowds; June and September are quieter and the sea stays warm. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, known as the ecotasa, charged per person per night by the hotel; the rate depends on the type and category of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and under-16s are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
