Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only

About Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only

Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only suits couples who want a calm base on Ibiza's east coast with a town within walking distance. The address is Cala Ses Estaques, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, and the town centre lies 0.7 km away. Travellers who want clubs on the doorstep should look elsewhere: this is a place for slow mornings, the pool terrace and unhurried evenings.

The property is a four-star hotel, adults only as the name says, and carries a guest score of 4.5/5 from 607 reviews. Gardens, an outdoor pool, a solarium and a terrace make up the outdoor side of the stay, with a pool bar for daytime drinks and entertainment activities listed in the programme. It reads as an easy holiday hotel for two: breakfast, a lounger, and a short walk into town after dark.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu, 0.7 km from Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only, is a river town with a promenade, a marina and slower evenings than the island's club resorts. The municipality runs along Ibiza's east coast. Es Canar, 3.9 km away, and Cala Llonga, 4.2 km away, are the two nearest coastal settlements beyond the town. The town centre is level walking from the hotel; the two villages beyond it are a short drive.

Walking covers the town, the promenade and the marina, all around 0.7 km from the door. Everything else is easier with wheels: Es Canar is 3.9 km off, Cala Llonga 4.2 km, Ibiza Town port 12.1 km and Ibiza Airport 19.3 km. Seasonal buses serve the east coast in summer and thin out in winter, so check the island bus operator before planning a car-free day out.

Rooms and facilities

In-room facilities include air conditioning, a balcony, a TV with pay-per-view films, a minibar, a safe, a desk, a telephone and a bidet, with a hairdryer and toiletries in the bathroom. Couples tend to want the balcony and the air conditioning most; late arrivals can use the 24-hour front desk for check-in and luggage storage. A sea view appears among the listed amenities, so ask which room types have one.

Because the hotel is adults only, families with children should look at other properties, and the minimum age is worth confirming at booking. Lifts serve the floors, wifi is free, and cleaning and laundry services are listed alongside car rental at the desk. A jacuzzi is among the facilities, though it is worth asking whether it is shared or in a particular room type. Confirm the bed setup and any extras before you book.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 19.3 km from the hotel in a straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars cover the route directly, which is simplest with luggage; the hotel also lists a car rental service at the desk. Island buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària, with more lines in summer, so check the operator's times and changes before you set out.

Ferries for Formentera's La Savina, and for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, leave from Ibiza Town port, 12.1 km away. From the port, the coast road leads to Santa Eulària des Riu, with the hotel 0.7 km beyond the centre. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so confirm what is running with the hotel or the operators before booking a stay between November and April.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

For swimming, Cala Llonga is 4.2 km from the hotel, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, and Es Canar is 3.9 km away, a sheltered family beach. Both are straightforward by car or taxi, and seasonal buses run along this coast. Santa Eulària des Riu, 0.7 km off, has the promenade and marina for the evening, and the town keeps going through the year.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 3.6 km from the door and the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar is 4.4 km; each runs on set days, so check current days with the hotel or the island council. Kayaking the north coast calas is 10.6 km away. On the plate, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish with rice.

A day from Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only

Begin with breakfast and walk the 0.7 km into Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and the marina before the day heats up. Mid-morning, take a car or a seasonal bus 4.2 km to Cala Llonga for a swim in the sheltered inlet, or 3.9 km to Es Canar. The afternoon belongs to the hotel: pool, solarium, a game of table tennis.

Late afternoon is market time: Las Dalias at Sant Carles is 3.6 km from the hotel and the Punta Arabí market 4.4 km, each on its own days. With a car, the north coast calas are 10.6 km away for kayaking. Back in Santa Eulària for the evening, the promenade 0.7 km from the lobby is the place for a slow walk and dinner in town.

Practical tips

The island's season shapes any stay here: many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses around Santa Eulària close roughly from November to April, while the town stays open all year, so confirm Catalonia Ses Estaques Adults Only's own opening dates before booking outside the summer. Peak demand falls in July and August. The hotel also charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, per person per night; the rate varies with accommodation type and season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
