Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos

About Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos

Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos suits travellers who want a base of their own on Ibiza's east side rather than a full-service hotel. The three-star apartments sit in Santa Eulària des Riu, 1 km from the town in straight-line distance, so the promenade, the marina and the shops are close at hand. Couples who prefer slow evenings and families who need room to spread out both fit. Self parking is listed for anyone bringing a car.

This is an apartment stay, rated three stars, in a quiet corner of a river town on the east coast. Days run on your own schedule: coves and markets are spread across the municipality, and a car makes them easy to reach. Evenings stay low-key in Santa Eulària, where the seafront fills slowly. Travellers looking for the island's club nights should base themselves further south.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a river town with a promenade, a marina and slower evenings than the southern resorts. It stays open for much of the year, unlike the seasonal strips elsewhere on Ibiza. Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos is 1 km from the town in straight-line distance, close enough for an easy walk and far enough to leave the summer crowds behind at the end of the day.

The town, its promenade and the marina are the walkable part. For everything else, a car helps. Cala Llonga is 2.9 km from the apartments and Es Canar 5.4 km, while Ibiza Airport sits 17.8 km away in Sant Josep. In high summer the coast road fills in the morning and again at dusk; in May, June and late September the same drives are quick and parking is simpler.

Rooms and facilities

Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos is listed with self parking, which counts for a lot on an island where a car widens the day. Arriving with a hire car means a settled place to leave it rather than a hunt for kerbside space in Santa Eulària in August. Confirm with the property what is provided inside the apartments, from kitchen equipment to linen and cleaning.

Couples and small families tend to want the same core things from an apartment: space to spread out, quiet at night and a short hop into town. Ask Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos which apartment size suits your group, whether a cot can be provided, and how keys are collected if a late flight from Ibiza Airport lands you in Santa Eulària after dark. Settle these details before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 17.8 km from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos in straight-line distance, set in the municipality of Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi or a hire car is the straightforward way to cover the last stretch. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; check current routes with the island bus operator.

From Ibiza Town port, 10.6 km away, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Arriving by sea means a taxi or a hire car for the final leg to Santa Eulària. Flights and sailings are fewer in winter and seasonal buses run thinner too, so confirm times with Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos and the operators before booking a low-season crossing.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 2.9 km from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos. Es Canar, a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season, is 5.4 km away. Santa Eulària des Riu is 1 km. Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.9 km and the Punta Arabí market 5.9 km; both run on set days, so check with the hotel before setting out.

Ibiza's food is built around fish. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, turn up alongside fresh fish and rice dishes in Santa Eulària des Riu, 1 km from the apartments. For an evening in the old town, the walls of Dalt Vila at Eivissa are 11.2 km from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos, with the port 10.6 km away.

A day from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos

Begin with a swim. Cala Llonga, 2.9 km from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos, is a sheltered inlet with shallow water and suits an early dip. Drive on to Es Canar, 5.4 km away, for a longer beach morning, or walk the 1 km into Santa Eulària des Riu for coffee on the promenade and a look at the marina. A car makes this easy; buses are thinner outside summer.

In the afternoon, Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.9 km from the apartments and the Punta Arabí market 5.9 km, both on set days in season. Later, drive to Eivissa, 10.6 km to the port, and walk the walls of Dalt Vila, 11.2 km from Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos, before returning east for fish and rice in Santa Eulària. The drive back is short and the evening ends quietly.

Practical tips

The season shapes any stay at Aldea Bonsai Apartamentos. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, though Santa Eulària des Riu stays open year-round and winter flights are fewer. July and August bring the island's heaviest demand. Check opening dates with the property. Accommodation on the island also carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the property; the amount varies with the type of accommodation and the time of year, falls in low season and on longer stays, and under-16s pay nothing. Rates change, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
