About Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only

The Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only is an adults-only hotel on Ibiza's east coast, in Es Canar, a sheltered family beach area with a Wednesday hippy market. It suits couples and friends who want a calm base with a pool, a spa and a gym, and who plan to mix beach days with drives to the north coast calas. Households with children need a different property, since the hotel takes adults only.

The property is a four-star hotel rather than a resort or a guesthouse, and it carries a guest score of 4.7 out of 5 from 3,635 reviews. That combination points to a settled place with a steady following, though the score is a general rating rather than a description of any particular room. The address is Calle Mestral 42, in the Es Canar area, with the beach about 1.6 km away in a straight line and the hotel not directly on the sand.

Location: Es Canar

Es Canar sits on the east coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, and its beach is sheltered and shallow. The Wednesday Punta Arabí hippy market is the other draw, about 2.1 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only in a straight line. Santa Eulària des Riu itself, a river town with a promenade and a marina, is about 3 km away, and Cala Llonga, a long inlet with shallow water, about 6.3 km.

A car or a taxi makes the most of the position: the north coast calas lie roughly 9.7 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only in a straight line, and Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta about 2.7 km. Buses run along this stretch of coast, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for current routes. July and August are the busiest weeks and the coast road slows down; May, June, September and October are easier for driving and walking.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a minibar, a safe, a TV and a desk, plus bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer and toiletries, which reads well for couples who unpack and settle in. A 24 hour front desk, room service, wake-up service and luggage storage cover late arrivals, and the lifts help with bags. Free wifi and internet access run alongside a garden, a terrace, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a spa for the hours between beach and dinner.

Because the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only is adults only, quiet matters more than family facilities, and the listed bars, lounge and entertainment activities shape the evenings. Ask the hotel which room types have a balcony, whether the minibar is stocked on arrival, how special diets are handled in the restaurant, and what the spa and gym hours are. Laundry service, iron and board and housekeeping routines are worth confirming before a longer stay.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies about 21.5 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. A taxi or a hire car covers the road distance, and the hotel lists a car rental service for days out. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària des Riu and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for the current network.

Ibiza Town port is about 14.3 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only in a straight line, with ferries to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; check the operators for timetables. For a Formentera day, fly into IBZ, cross to Ibiza Town port and take the ferry to La Savina, about 30-35 minutes on a fast ferry and about an hour on a conventional one. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so plan around the season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sand is Es Canar beach, about 1.6 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only in a straight line, with Cala Llonga about 6.3 km and the Santa Eulària des Riu waterfront about 3 km. The Punta Arabí market is about 2.1 km away and Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta about 2.7 km, both useful for a half day. The north coast calas, listed about 9.7 km away, are the place for kayaking.

Eating on this side of Ibiza leans on fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the island dishes to look for: a fish stew served in two courses, with the rice cooked in the broth at the table. The restaurants and bars at the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only cover everyday meals, and Santa Eulària des Riu, about 3 km away, has a promenade worth an evening walk.

A day from Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only

Start with a swim in the outdoor pool or a session in the fitness centre at the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only, then take the short run to Es Canar beach, about 1.6 km away in a straight line, for the morning. On a Wednesday in season, the Punta Arabí hippy market, about 2.1 km away, fills the middle of the day. Return to the hotel for the spa or the terrace before dinner.

An afternoon at Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta, about 2.7 km from the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only, suits a Saturday in season; check current market days first. Alternatively, drive to the north coast calas, listed about 9.7 km away, and kayak a quiet bay. Back at the hotel, the bar and lounge take the evening, with Santa Eulària des Riu about 3 km away for a promenade stroll.

Practical tips

Much of the tourism business on Ibiza closes roughly from November to April, so check opening dates for the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only before booking; July and August are the peak, with May, June, September and October quieter. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, and the Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza Adults Only applies it. Confirm the current band with the Govern de les Illes Balears: it shifts with accommodation type and month, falls in low season and on longer stays, and exempts under-16s.
