About Apartments Niko

Apartments Niko suits travellers who want a base in a quieter part of Ibiza, with the river town of Santa Eulària des Riu a short walk away. The property provides self-catering apartments with kitchenettes, air conditioning and free WiFi, making it practical for independent stays. It is not a resort or beachfront complex; the appeal is the combination of a central inland location and the relaxed pace of the east coast.

The apartments are unrated and have no guest score listed. They are a straightforward choice for couples or families who prefer to cook some meals and explore the island by car or bus. The listed facilities include a restaurant, bar, laundry service and car rental, which add convenience without the formality of a full-service hotel.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a river town with a promenade, a marina and slower evenings than the west coast. Apartments Niko is on Isidoro Macabich, 21, about 0.2 km straight line from the centre of Santa Eulària. The marina, shops and a handful of restaurants are within easy walking distance. In high summer the town is busy but not as crowded as Playa d'en Bossa or Sant Antoni; in the shoulder months of May, June, September and October it feels quieter, with more space on the promenade.

Cala Llonga, a sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 4 km straight line from the apartments. Es Canar, a family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season, is 4.5 km away. Ibiza Airport is 18.8 km straight line and Ibiza Town port is 11.7 km straight line. A hire car is useful for reaching the north coast calas and the markets at Sant Carles and Es Canar; seasonal buses also connect Santa Eulària with the airport and other towns.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, microwave and toaster, plus a balcony or terrace. Free WiFi is available throughout. Families can request a cot and high chair; sofa beds are listed, which may suit children or extra guests. The property also lists a safe, hairdryer, iron and board, and a desk, so the rooms are equipped for longer stays and some remote work.

Late arrivals should confirm check-in arrangements directly with Apartments Niko, as reception hours are not given. The building has lifts, which is useful for upper-floor apartments. Rooms are non-smoking and smoke detectors are listed. Guests who want daily cleaning or laundry service can use the listed cleaning and laundry options; breakfast and lunch are available on site.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 18.8 km straight line from Apartments Niko. A taxi takes about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Seasonal buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària des Riu, with more services in summer and fewer from November to April. A hire car can be collected at the airport or arranged through the car rental service listed at the property, which is convenient for exploring the island.

From Ibiza Town port, the distance is 11.7 km straight line. A taxi or the seasonal bus from the port to Santa Eulària takes about 15-20 minutes. The ferry from Formentera (La Savina) arrives at Ibiza Town port, so guests coming from Formentera can take the same connection. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter; check the operators for current timetables.

Practical tips

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