Grupotel Santa Eulària & Spa Adults Only

About Grupotel Santa Eulària & Spa Adults Only

Grupotel Santa Eulària & Spa Adults Only is a four star hotel on Carrer Pare Vicent Costa in Santa Eulària des Riu, on Ibiza's east coast, and it takes adults only. Couples who want a calm base, friends travelling together and solo guests all fit the bill. The guest score is 4.4 out of 5 from 979 reviews. Expect a grown-up, unhurried property rather than a party address; the marina and promenade are within walking distance.

The stay is built around slow days. The hotel lists a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, a garden and a solarium, with a restaurant and bars on site. It sits on the edge of town rather than on the sand, and a beach is listed as nearby. That makes it a practical base for the east coast: the centre, the marina and the water are close, and the louder parts of Ibiza are a drive away.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is 1.3 km from the hotel in a straight line, and the walk into the centre is short enough for dinner and a stroll back. The town has a river, a promenade and a marina, with slower evenings than the south. Es Canar is 3.3 km north and Cala Llonga 4.9 km south, both a brief hop by car, taxi or seasonal bus. Parking is listed at the property, which helps if you keep a hire car.

In July and August the promenade, the marina and the coast road fill up, and mornings are the calmest hours for a swim. May, June, September and October bring a lighter mood and easier tables in the evening. Ibiza Town port is 12.8 km away for ferries and the airport 19.9 km, so days out west or south work best with a car or an early start. Buses cover more of the island in summer than in winter, so check routes when planning.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a TV, a safe, a minibar and a desk, with a bath, bidet and hairdryer in the bathroom. For couples, the balcony works as a second sitting room in the evening. Late arrivals have the 24 hour front desk, wake-up service and luggage storage. Housekeeping, laundry service and non-smoking rooms appear on the list as well. Rooms suited to wheelchair users are listed too, so mention any access needs when you book.

Days off the sand are easy here: the hotel lists a spa with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and massage, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a pool bar, a garden, a solarium and a fitness centre. Table tennis and entertainment activities fill a lazy afternoon. Confirm with the property which treatments and activities run on your dates, whether pool towels are supplied, and how the free car parking is allocated, since spaces and times change.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 19.9 km from the hotel in a straight line, on the other side of the island in Sant Josep. A taxi or a hire car handles the run with luggage most simply, and the hotel lists a car rental service. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer; ask the hotel which stop is nearest.

From Ibiza Town port, 12.8 km away, ferries cross to Formentera (La Savina) in about 30-35 minutes on the fast service, and longer on the conventional boats, with routes to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia as well. Taxis and buses cover the coast road back to Santa Eulària. Sailings and flights are fewer in winter, so check timetables with the operators and confirm arrival times with the hotel before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The hotel is not beachfront, and a beach is listed as nearby rather than at the door. Es Canar, 3.3 km north, is a sheltered stretch of sand with the Punta Arabí hippy market, held on Wednesdays in season. Cala Llonga, 4.9 km south, is a long inlet with shallow water. Parking at the hotel is free, which makes either beach simple by car.

The Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 3 km away, and its days change, so check the current schedule before going. The Punta Arabí market at Es Canar stands 3.8 km off, and kayaking the north coast calas is about 10 km from the door. Back in town, order bullit de peix or arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, then walk the promenade.

A day from Grupotel Santa Eulària & Spa Adults Only

Begin with laps in the outdoor pool or a workout in the fitness centre before the day heats up, then walk the 1.3 km into Santa Eulària for coffee by the river and a look at the marina. For sand, take a taxi 4.9 km south to Cala Llonga, whose shallow water suits a slow morning. Lunch at the hotel keeps the middle of the day unhurried.

Book a massage or use the sauna, steam room and indoor pool in the afternoon, then drive 3 km to the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles when it is open, or 3.8 km to Es Canar for the Punta Arabí market on its day. Evenings suit the marina and the promenade, 1.3 km away, with a longer night in Ibiza Town 12.8 km off and a taxi back.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, although Santa Eulària stays open all year; confirm opening dates with Grupotel Santa Eulària & Spa Adults Only before booking a winter stay. July and August are the peak, with the busiest roads and beaches, while May, June, September and October are gentler. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, and the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, with reductions in low season and for longer stays. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for the current rate.
