Buenavista & Suites

About Buenavista & Suites

Buenavista & Suites is a two-star hotel on Avenida Padre Guasch in Santa Eulària des Riu, and it suits travellers who want a simple base at the edge of a working town rather than a resort strip. The town centre is 0.4 km away, so the promenade and marina are close, and the property keeps a pool, a spa, a bar and a restaurant for the hours in between.

Expect a town hotel rather than a coastal complex: two stars, a pool and a spa, and a short walk to everything in Santa Eulària des Riu. Couples can use it as a base for the east coast calas; families get the pool and the 0.4 km walk into town. Reception hours and check-in times are set by the property, so confirm them direct before a late arrival.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a river town on the east coast, with a promenade along the water, a marina and evenings that stay slow. Buenavista & Suites sits on Avenida Padre Guasch, 0.4 km from the centre, which puts the waterfront and the marina within a short walk. This is a working town rather than a resort strip, and that shapes the pace of the place.

Walking covers the town: the centre is 0.4 km from the door. Cala Llonga, 3.6 km away, and Es Canar, 5 km away, are short hops by car, taxi or seasonal bus, and the same goes for Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 4.2 km off. High summer brings heat and traffic on the coast road; May, June and October are gentler for the same outings.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities at Buenavista & Suites are listed as bars, a restaurant, a spa and a swimming pool, which between them cover a slow afternoon and a dinner without leaving Avenida Padre Guasch. Couples often use the pool after a morning on the coast; families tend to build the day around it. The spa is the indoor option when the wind gets up, and the bar is where the evening starts.

What to confirm with Buenavista & Suites: whether the pool and spa run for the whole of the stay, since seasonal hours vary; whether the restaurant serves every evening; and how the bar operates outside summer. Guests arriving late should ask about reception cover when booking, and families should ask which room types take an extra bed. Breakfast arrangements are best settled before arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 18.3 km from Buenavista & Suites in a straight line, on the far side of the island in Sant Josep. A taxi is the simplest way to cover it; a hire car earns its place if the plan includes the north coast calas. Airport buses run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària des Riu, with more lines in summer, and the island bus operator publishes current times.

Ibiza Town port, 11.2 km away in a straight line, is where ferries leave for La Savina on Formentera, with fast crossings of about 30-35 minutes and conventional sailings of about an hour. Fewer crossings run in winter. Guests at Buenavista & Suites checking a sailing should confirm times with the ferry operators, and note that flights thin out between November and April too.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Beyond Santa Eulària's own waterfront, Cala Llonga is 3.6 km from Buenavista & Suites, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, and Es Canar is 5 km away, a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta, 4.2 km off, holds its market on Saturdays, though current days are worth checking.

Island cooking here leans on fish and rice: arròs a banda and bullit de peix, the fish stew served in two courses, are the dishes to look for along this coast. Santa Eulària des Riu keeps its centre open year-round, so a meal near Buenavista & Suites does not depend on the season the way the beach bars further along the coast do.

A day from Buenavista & Suites

A morning at Buenavista & Suites can start with the pool, then the 0.4 km walk into Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina. From there, Cala Llonga is 3.6 km away for a swim in the sheltered inlet, or push on 5 km to Es Canar if shallow family water matters more than quiet. A car, taxi or seasonal bus makes both easy.

In the afternoon, Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.2 km from the hotel, and Punta Arabí at Es Canar is 5.5 km, both markets with days worth confirming. Kayaking the north coast calas starts about 10.9 km out, a half-day rather than a stroll. The evening returns to Avenida Padre Guasch: spa, dinner, then the short walk into town.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, and the busiest stretch runs from late July into August, so check Buenavista & Suites' own opening dates and its pool and restaurant hours before booking a shoulder-season stay. The hotel also collects the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night, a rate that varies with the type of accommodation and the season, falls in low season and for longer stays, and exempts children under 16; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current rates.
