Atlas Apartments Ibiza

About Atlas Apartments Ibiza

Atlas Apartments Ibiza suits travellers who want a self-catering base on the east side of Ibiza, close to Santa Eulària des Riu but away from the busiest resort strips. The property is a set of apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, a garden and an outdoor pool. It is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed. The atmosphere is practical and independent: guests can cook their own meals, park a hire car free on site and come and go without set meal times.

The apartments are in the Siesta area, a residential zone just outside Santa Eulària. This part of the island is known for slower evenings than the west coast. The river town itself has a long promenade, a marina and a choice of places to eat. The Atlas Apartments are a short drive from several coves and the Punta Arabí and Las Dalias markets. The property lists family rooms, a kids' pool and babysitting, so it works for families with young children.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Atlas Apartments Ibiza is in the Siesta neighbourhood, about 1 km straight line from Santa Eulària des Riu town centre. Santa Eulària is a river town with a promenade, a marina and a slower pace than Ibiza Town or Sant Antoni. The town has shops, cafes and a few restaurants that stay open outside the summer season. The beach at Santa Eulària is a sandy strip at the mouth of the river, sheltered and good for families.

The apartment is not on the beach. The nearest listed cove is Cala Llonga, 2.9 km straight line, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water. Es Canar, 5.4 km straight line, has a family beach and the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Ibiza Town, with Dalt Vila and the port, is 10.6 km straight line. A car is useful for reaching these places, though a seasonal bus runs from Santa Eulària to the airport and other towns. In July and August the roads around Santa Eulària are busy; in May, June, September and October they are quieter.

Practical tips

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