Hotel Tres Torres

About Hotel Tres Torres

Hotel Tres Torres suits couples who want a town within reach on foot and families who would rather base themselves somewhere with a pool than beside a beach club. It stands at Bahía Ses Estaques, on the edge of Santa Eulària des Riu on Ibiza's east coast, so the promenade, the marina and slower evenings are close. Family rooms are listed, the front desk runs around the clock, and the markets and north coast calas sit a few kilometres inland.

Four stars, an outdoor pool and a garden: this is a well-equipped east-coast hotel rather than a design statement. The listed guest score is 4.4 out of 5 from 503 reviews. Air conditioning, a solarium, a restaurant and a pool bar cover the basics for a week of beach and market trips, and the tennis court and games room give non-beach afternoons somewhere to go. Guests who want Dalt Vila and the south beaches on the doorstep should note the drive.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a river town, and it behaves like one: a promenade along the water, a marina full of boats and a centre that keeps going after the beach crowds leave. The hotel's address at Bahía Ses Estaques puts it about 0.5 km straight line from the town. That makes for an easy walk in for dinner or the evening circuit, with the pool and garden waiting back at the hotel.

Anything beyond town is best done by car, taxi or seasonal bus, and the hotel lists car and bike rental plus a shuttle service to ask about. Es Canar is 4.1 km straight line, Cala Llonga 4.3 km and the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles 3.5 km. Ibiza Town port is 12 km away. In July and August the promenade fills and the coastal roads slow down; in May, June, September and October the same trips feel easier.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, minibar, coffee, television, telephone, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, which covers what most couples need for a week. Family rooms and sofa beds are also listed, alongside non-smoking rooms. Housekeeping and cleaning appear on the list, an iron and board can be arranged, and the garden and solarium give somewhere quiet to read. Ask about room size and what the room type includes.

Late arrivals are well covered on paper: a 24-hour front desk, 24-hour security, luggage storage and room service, plus breakfast in the room if a lie-in beats the restaurant. Lifts serve the floors, which helps with heavy bags. Babysitting is listed, and special diets can be discussed in advance. Confirm check-in and check-out times, parking, the shuttle service and cot availability with the property when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits 19.2 km away in a straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. The road route is longer than that. Taxis and hire cars are the simplest options, and the hotel lists a car rental service and a shuttle service to ask about. Buses from the airport run to Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, with more lines in summer; check the island bus operator for current times.

From Ibiza Town port, 12 km away in a straight line, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; Sant Antoni has some mainland routes in season. Arriving by sea and continuing to the hotel means a taxi, a hire car or the shuttle service, confirmed in advance. Winter brings fewer flights and fewer sailings, so allow time for a same-day connection and check the operators before booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The hotel is not beachfront; a beach nearby is on the listed facilities. Es Canar, a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market above it, is 4.1 km straight line, and Cala Llonga, a long inlet with shallow water, is 4.3 km. Punta Arabí itself, on market days, is 4.6 km. All three are easiest by car, taxi or seasonal bus, and market days in season are worth checking with the hotel.

Inland, the Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 3.5 km straight line, with Saturdays as its usual day and current days worth checking. Kayaking on the north coast calas starts 10.4 km away. Eating locally means fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes in the town. Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Eivissa, is part of the UNESCO listing of 1999.

A day from Hotel Tres Torres

Start with a swim in the outdoor pool or a walk along the promenade before the heat builds, then drive or take a taxi the 4.3 km to Cala Llonga for a long sheltered swim. Come back through Santa Eulària, 0.5 km from the hotel, for lunch. On a market day, swap the morning for Punta Arabí at Es Canar, 4.6 km, or Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 3.5 km, checking days first.

An afternoon in Ibiza Town takes in Dalt Vila, the walled upper town on the hill above the port, with its 16th-century Renaissance walls and cathedral; Ibiza Town port is 12 km straight line from the hotel. Back east, an evening on the Santa Eulària promenade and around the marina is a short walk from the door. Dinner can be at the hotel restaurant or in town; either way, the 24-hour front desk is there on return.

Practical tips

July and August are the peak, when the promenade and the coastal roads are at their fullest. Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, while Santa Eulària stays open year-round; confirm Hotel Tres Torres's own opening dates before booking a winter stay. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with category and season, are reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
