Casa Es Pins

About Casa Es Pins

Casa Es Pins is an unrated apartment or villa set in the countryside just outside Santa Eulària des Riu, on the east side of Ibiza. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with a pool and a garden, away from the busiest nightlife, yet close enough to a town with restaurants, a promenade and a marina. The property is not on the beach, but the coast and several coves are within a few kilometres by car.

This is a self-catering stay. The villa is listed with a full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and oven, so you can cook your own meals. There is air conditioning, free wifi, a TV, a CD player and a radio for entertainment. Outside, a terrace, a patio, a garden and an outdoor pool give you space to relax. With no stars or guest score given, the appeal is the practical, independent layout rather than hotel services.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Casa Es Pins lies in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, about 1.4 km straight line from the town centre. Santa Eulària is a river town with a promenade, a marina and slower evenings than the west coast. It has shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a long sandy beach, all within a short drive or a walk of about a kilometre and a half. The villa is in a rural area, so you get peace and quiet, but you need a car to reach most amenities comfortably.

The nearest other places are Es Canar, 4.2 km away, and Cala Llonga, 5.3 km away, both reachable by car in about ten minutes. Ibiza Town is 12.7 km straight line from the villa, so the capital's sights, port and nightlife are a 20-minute drive. In high summer, the roads around Santa Eulària can be busy, but the town itself is calmer than Sant Antoni or Playa d'en Bossa. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the area is quieter and the sea is warm enough for swimming.

Rooms and facilities

Casa Es Pins is listed as a villa or apartment, so the accommodation is self-contained. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, microwave, oven, toaster and coffee maker, plus a washing machine for longer stays. Air conditioning and a fan are listed for the hot months, and the garden and pool are shared or private depending on the booking. A cot and high chairs are available for families with small children, and the property is non-smoking throughout.

For late arrivals, the practical facilities include free parking on site and free wifi, so you can plan your first day after you land. The villa has a terrace, a patio and a garden, but there is no on-site restaurant or room service. Confirm with the property how the pool and garden are arranged, whether the whole villa is yours, and what the check-in procedure is for evening arrivals. The listed facilities suggest a comfortable, independent stay rather than a serviced hotel.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 19.7 km straight line from Casa Es Pins. A taxi takes about 25 minutes by road, depending on traffic. A hire car is the most practical option for this rural villa, as you will want to reach the beach, the shops and the sights. Buses run from the airport to Santa Eulària in summer, but they do not stop at the villa, so you would need a taxi from the town or a car to cover the last 1.4 km.

If you arrive by ferry, Ibiza Town port is 12.7 km straight line from the villa, about 20 minutes by car. From the port, you can take a taxi or a hire car; there is no direct bus to the villa. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines stop running, so check the island bus operator for current schedules. The villa's free parking makes a hire car the easiest way to explore the east coast.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Santa Eulària des Riu, 1.4 km away, has a promenade, a marina, shops and a sandy beach. Es Canar, 4.2 km away, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market on Wednesdays in season. Cala Llonga, 5.3 km away, is a long inlet with shallow water, good for families. For a different outing, Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 2.6 km straight line from the villa, open on Saturdays (check current days).

The north coast calas, such as Portinatx and Cala Sant Vicent, are about 9.3 km straight line from the villa, good for kayaking and quieter swimming. For food, try bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, at a restaurant in Santa Eulària or Es Canar. Inland, the countryside around the villa is pine-covered and quiet, with the highest point of Sa Talaia about 475 m, a short drive away.

A day from Casa Es Pins

Start the morning with a swim in the villa's pool, then drive the 1.4 km to Santa Eulària for breakfast and a walk along the promenade. From there, head to Cala Llonga, 5.3 km away, for a morning swim in the sheltered bay. Return to the villa for lunch on the terrace, using the kitchen to prepare something simple. In the afternoon, drive to Es Canar, 4.2 km away, and walk the beach or browse the Punta Arabí market if it is a Wednesday in season.

In the evening, drive to Ibiza Town, 12.7 km away, to see the illuminated Dalt Vila walls and have dinner near the port. Alternatively, stay closer and eat in Santa Eulària, where the marina is lively but not frantic. For a quieter end to the day, watch the sunset from the villa's garden or terrace. The distances are short, so you can fit a lot into one day without spending hours in the car.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Casa Es Pins about its opening months before booking. July and August are the peak, with hot weather and the busiest roads; the shoulder months of May, June and September are milder and quieter. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates varying by season and length of stay, and children under 16 exempt. Check the current amount with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
