Apartamentos Ebusus

About Apartamentos Ebusus

Apartamentos Ebusus suits travellers who want a base in a quieter part of Ibiza, with the convenience of a kitchen and the freedom to cook. Santa Eulària des Riu has a promenade, a marina and a slower pace than the west coast or Ibiza Town. The apartments are not rated and have no guest score, so the stay is straightforward: a place to sleep and self-cater, with the town's bars and restaurants a short walk away.

The property is a set of apartments, not a full-service hotel. Facilities listed include a kitchen or kitchenette, a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, free wifi and a washing machine. It works for couples, families or solo travellers who prefer independence over a reception desk. The address is on San Vicente street, 0.2 km from Santa Eulària des Riu, so the marina and the river promenade are within a few minutes on foot.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a town on the east coast of Ibiza, built around a river that runs to the sea. The marina, the pedestrianised promenade and the main square are the centre of activity. The town has a year-round population and a range of shops, supermarkets and restaurants that stay open outside the summer season. The apartments are 0.2 km straight line from the town, so you can walk to the riverfront in a few minutes. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 4.1 km away. Es Canar, a family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season, is 4.5 km away.

In July and August the town is busy but not as intense as Playa d'en Bossa or Sant Antoni. The marina fills with boats and the promenade with evening strollers. In May, June and September the pace is relaxed. From November to April many beach bars and seasonal restaurants close, but the town centre stays open. A hire car is useful for reaching the north coast calas and the markets at Sant Carles and Es Canar. Buses run to Ibiza Town and the airport, with more lines in summer.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with air conditioning, a fan, a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, an oven and a toaster. Each unit has a balcony or terrace, a TV and a radio. Some have a sofa bed, which can be used for an extra guest. A cot is available on request. The bathrooms have a bath, a hairdryer and a bidet. Free wifi and internet access are included. The property has lifts, non-smoking rooms and family rooms.

For late arrivals, check-in times should be confirmed directly with the property, as there is no 24-hour reception. The apartments have a safe and a smoke detector. A washing machine and iron and board are listed, useful for longer stays. Parking and a garage are available, but spaces may be limited. Car rental can be arranged through the property. Cleaning and laundry service are listed; confirm the schedule and cost when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 18.8 km straight line from the apartments. A taxi takes about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. Buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària des Riu via Ibiza Town; the service is more frequent in summer and reduced in winter. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island. The apartments have parking and a garage, so a car is convenient.

Ibiza Town port is 11.7 km straight line from the apartments. Ferries from the port connect to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. From the port, a taxi to Santa Eulària takes about 15-20 minutes. Buses also run from the port to Santa Eulària. The nearest area is Santa Eulària des Riu itself, 0.2 km away, so you can walk from the apartments to the town centre. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches are Cala Llonga (4.1 km straight line) and Es Canar (4.5 km straight line). Cala Llonga is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, good for families. Es Canar has a sandy beach and the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. The north coast calas, such as Portinatx and Cala Sant Vicent, are about 10.5 km straight line; a hire car is the best way to reach them. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta (3.8 km straight line) is held on Saturdays; check the current days.

Santa Eulària des Riu itself has a marina, a promenade and a river. The town has a range of places to eat, from casual cafés to sit-down restaurants. Ibiza's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes. The town's shops and supermarkets are open year-round. For a longer trip, Ibiza Town's Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, is about 11.7 km straight line and can be reached by bus or car.

A day from Apartamentos Ebusus

Start the morning with a walk to the Santa Eulària promenade and marina, 0.2 km from the apartments. Pick up supplies from a local shop for breakfast in the apartment. Drive to Cala Llonga (4.1 km) for a morning swim in the sheltered bay. The shallow water and sandy beach make it a calm spot. Alternatively, head to Es Canar (4.5 km) and walk the beach before the midday heat.

In the afternoon, drive to the north coast calas (10.5 km straight line) for a quieter cove with pine trees. Pack a picnic from the apartment kitchen. Return to Santa Eulària for a late-afternoon rest on the balcony. In the evening, walk to the marina for a meal. The town's pace is slower than the west coast, so the night is relaxed. If it is a Wednesday in season, the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is an option for an evening visit.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check the apartments' opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and warmer sea temperatures (about 25-26 °C in August). The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of apartment and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
