Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

About Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Couples who want the sea at the end of the street, and families who prefer a short walk into town rather than a drive, are the two groups this four-star hotel suits best. The address is C Del Río 48, on the Santa Eulària des Riu waterfront, with the promenade and marina a stroll away and a pool and garden for the hours when nobody wants to move. A 24-hour front desk covers late arrivals.

This is a four-star beachfront hotel, and a private beach appears among its listed facilities, so a day can be built around swimming and the pool bar instead of driving to a cove. It trades under the Tribute Portfolio name and carries a listed guest score of 4.4/5 from 594 reviews. The register is resort comfort in a town setting: breakfast, a restaurant, a lounge, a garden and the sand close by.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu grew where a river reaches the sea, and its mood is gentler than the island's club resorts: a promenade for evening walks, a marina of small boats, and a centre that stays lived-in all year. The hotel sits 0.6 km from that centre, close enough to walk in for dinner. Cala Llonga, a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, is 3.3 km away; Es Canar is 5.1 km off.

The town side of the stay needs no transport at all: promenade, marina and river mouth are on foot, and the beachfront position puts the sea at the door. A car or taxi earns its keep along the wider coast, since Ibiza Town port is 11 km away and Ibiza Airport 18.1 km. High summer fills the seafront after dark; May, June, September and October leave the same 0.6 km walk feeling unhurried, though some seasonal places shut outside the main months.

Rooms and facilities

Bedrooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, a refrigerator and coffee, plus a desk, hairdryer and iron and board, which covers the practical side of a beach holiday. Balconies feature in the list, and they are the detail to request when booking as a couple. Non-smoking rooms and lifts are there, and a cot can be arranged. Families should ask how many people a room sleeps. A bath and bathrobe are listed too.

Breakfast in the room suits slow mornings, and room service is on the list for late arrivals after a flight. Babysitting, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning services are listed; confirm the hours of each with the property, because staffing shifts with the season. Pets are allowed according to the list, so ask about conditions and where they can go. Express check-in and luggage storage help when a flight lands hours before the room is ready.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 18.1 km from the Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel in a straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage; a hire car collected at the airport keeps the north and east coasts within reach afterwards. Airport buses run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, with extra lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for the route and stop closest to C Del Río 48.

Ferries leave Ibiza Town port, 11 km from the hotel, for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so a Formentera day trip fits without changing hotels. Fast crossings to La Savina take about 30-35 minutes. Arriving by sea, the run to Santa Eulària des Riu is straightforward, and the town centre stands 0.6 km from the door. Winter thins out flights and sailings, so confirm times with the operators before booking a short break at the Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Two family beaches are close: Cala Llonga, 3.3 km away, a long inlet with shallow water, and Es Canar, 5.1 km off, sheltered and calm. Es Canar also hosts the Punta Arabí hippy market, 5.6 km from the hotel, on Wednesdays in season. Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.5 km away and trades on Saturdays; check the current days before setting out, as market days can change.

The island's cooking is built on fish and rice. Bullit de peix, a stew served in two courses, and arròs a banda, rice cooked down in fish stock, are what to look for along the Santa Eulària des Riu promenade. Kayaking the north coast calas starts about 11.3 km from the hotel, where the rock is older and the bays are ringed with pine. Ibiza Town port, 11 km off, adds Dalt Vila, the walled upper town with 16th-century Renaissance walls.

A day from Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Breakfast first, then a swim off the beachfront before the sun climbs. Walk the 0.6 km into Santa Eulària des Riu for the promenade and marina while the town is still cool. A short drive of 3.3 km reaches Cala Llonga for shallow water and a longer swim, and 5.1 km beyond that Es Canar offers a sheltered beach and, on Wednesdays in season, a market 5.6 km from the hotel.

After lunch, Las Dalias at Sant Carles de Peralta is 4.5 km away for an hour of browsing when the market runs. The alternative is the north coast, 11.3 km off, for kayaking among calas quieter than the town beach. Late afternoon belongs to the pool bar and garden at the Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Evening is a 0.6 km walk into Santa Eulària des Riu for rice and fish, then back along the promenade.

Practical tips

Hotel Riomar Ibiza A Tribute Portfolio Hotel is a summer-weighted address. Much of Ibiza's tourism business, from beach bars to seasonal buses, closes roughly from November to April, while Santa Eulària des Riu keeps going through winter and the coast around it empties. Demand is highest in July and August; May, June, September and October are easier. Confirm the hotel's own opening dates before booking. Expect the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, to be added per person per night; rates vary by category and season and under-16s are exempt. Check current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
