Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas

About Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas

Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas suits travellers who want the north-east coast without a resort in front of the door. Es Figueral is a small beach village on this stretch of Ibiza, and the guesthouse keeps things simple: a base for walkers, couples touring the island by car and families who prefer a quiet lane to a loud strip. The address sits outside the main resort areas, and Cala Sant Vicent is 2.5 km away.

Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas is a one-star guesthouse, a hostal in the Spanish sense: modest and practical rather than full service. A guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 114 reviews is recorded for it. Air conditioning, free wifi, a garden, a terrace and a lounge appear among the listed facilities, which covers the basics for a short stay and leaves the budget for the car and the calas.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Es Figueral sits on the north-east coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu. Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas is outside the main resort areas, and the nearest larger places run south along the coast: Es Canar is 5.7 km away and Santa Eulària des Riu is 8.8 km. The village is small, and most of what lies beyond it means a drive.

The village and its beach are walkable from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas. Cala Sant Vicent is 2.5 km away in a straight line, and the road route is longer, so a car, a taxi or a seasonal bus is the practical way to reach it. The busiest weeks fall in July and August, when parking near the calas goes early; May, June and September are far quieter, and the guesthouse is easier to enjoy then. Check current bus lines with the hotel.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas are listed with air conditioning, a TV, a safe, a hairdryer and toiletries, plus free wifi and internet access. Non-smoking rooms are available, and there is a garden, a terrace and a lounge for the hours outside the room. Breakfast in room, lunch, room service and special diets appear among the facilities, so ask what can be arranged on the day you arrive.

Families should confirm bedding and room size directly with Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, because a one-star hostal rarely holds family rooms as standard. Late arrivals are worth flagging: luggage storage and a safe are listed, but confirm that someone is on hand at your arrival time. Ask too whether the restaurant, the pool bar and the shuttle service listed operate in your month, and whether laundry service is available during your stay.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 27.2 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas in a straight line, which makes a taxi or a booked transfer the simplest arrival with luggage. Collecting a hire car at the airport gives freedom on this coast, where the calas sit off the main road. Buses link the airport with Santa Eulària des Riu, 8.8 km from the guesthouse, and there are more lines in summer; check the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port is 20.2 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, the arrival point for ferries from Formentera and the mainland. Es Canar is 5.7 km away and Cala Sant Vicent 2.5 km, both on the same coastal stretch. Winter brings fewer flights and thinner bus timetables on the north-east coast, so confirm the last leg with the hotel before booking a late landing or an evening ferry.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Sant Vicent is the closest cove, 2.5 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, and Es Canar, 5.7 km away, has a sheltered beach and the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Santa Eulària des Riu, 8.8 km off, has a promenade and a marina. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.9 km away on Saturdays; check current days with the hotel before setting out.

Food on Ibiza leans on fish and rice. Bullit de peix arrives in two stages, the fish first and then the rice cooked in the broth, and arròs a banda is the plainer rice dish. Both are found across the island, and Santa Eulària des Riu, 8.8 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, is an obvious place to look. Village choice is limited, so plan dinners around a car or a booked taxi back.

A day from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas

Start early and drive to Cala Sant Vicent, 2.5 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, before the summer parking fills. Walk the headland paths, then head south to Es Canar, 5.7 km away, where the Punta Arabí market runs on Wednesdays in season. Sea kayaking along the north coast calas is the other half-day option, with the nearest of that coast about 4.6 km from the guesthouse.

After lunch, make the 4.9 km trip to Sant Carles de Peralta for the Las Dalias market, held on Saturdays; check the day first. Then carry on to Santa Eulària des Riu, 8.8 km from Pensión Las Tres Golondrinas, for the promenade and dinner, or stay in Es Figueral and use the restaurant and terrace listed at the guesthouse. A car makes the loop straightforward, and the return taxi needs booking in the evening.
