Ros Apartamentos

About Ros Apartamentos

Ros Apartamentos suits travellers who want a quiet base in Santa Eulària des Riu rather than a resort with a full programme of its own. The building sits about half a kilometre from the town, so the promenade, the marina and the river walk are within an easy stroll, while the east coast calas are a short drive away. Couples who eat out most evenings, families with children and anyone touring the island by car will find the position practical.

Ros Apartamentos is a two-star apartment property, so the appeal is straightforward, unpretentious accommodation rather than a full hotel service. The practical extras do the work: parking and a garage for the hire car, a reception area, wifi and access for wheelchair users. It suits a first visit to Ibiza or a repeat stay when beaches, markets and the east coast matter more than the building itself, and it leaves the budget for the things you came for.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu, 0.5 km away, is the nearest town and the reason to base here. It grew along a river that reaches the sea, and the result is a promenade, a marina and evenings that stay slow. The town keeps going through the year in a way that many island resorts do not. From Camino Riomar the centre is walkable, so dinner and the walk home need no transport.

Walking covers the town itself; anything further needs wheels. Cala Llonga is 3.4 km away and Es Canar 5.1 km, both easy by car, taxi or the bus network, which runs more lines in summer. Ibiza Town port is 11 km off and the airport 18.2 km, so a hire car collected on arrival saves repeating those runs. Book taxis ahead at peak times, when the east coast is busy.

Rooms and facilities

Parking and a garage are listed, which matters on a late arrival with a hire car, when the last thing anyone wants is to hunt for a space. Pets are allowed, so a dog can travel along; confirm the conditions at booking. Some rooms are set aside for smokers, and the property is listed as wheelchair accessible, which covers different things from one building to the next. Wifi is listed.

Settle arrival times and key collection before travelling, particularly with a late flight into Ibiza Airport. Ask which rooms are designated for smokers if that matters either way, and what the accessible access covers, from the entrance to the bathroom. With a pet, check whether any areas are off limits. Ask about parking and garage bays too, since space at a small apartment building is often limited.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 18.2 km from Ros Apartamentos in a straight line, on the Sant Josep side of Ibiza Town. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage; a hire car makes sense if you plan to explore the east coast and the north. Buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for current routes and times before relying on one.

Ibiza Town port, 11 km away, is where ferries leave for Formentera's La Savina, for Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, so Ros Apartamentos works as a base either side of a crossing. Santa Eulària des Riu is 0.5 km off, Cala Llonga 3.4 km and Es Canar 5.1 km. Winter brings fewer flights and fewer sailings, so confirm the crossing and the apartment's own opening dates before booking outside the main season.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga, 3.4 km away, is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, and Es Canar, 5.1 km, is a sheltered family beach. The north coast calas, reached around 11.2 km from the apartments, are quieter and pine-ringed; kayaking there is one way to see them from the water. Santa Eulària's promenade and marina are within walking distance, and the river mouth gives an easy evening stroll without a car.

Two markets are close: Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 4.5 km away, and the Punta Arabí hippy market at Es Canar, 5.6 km, held on Wednesdays in season. Check current days before setting out. On the food side, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, along with fresh fish and rice dishes. Santa Eulària's year-round character means the town does not empty outside summer.

A day from Ros Apartamentos

Start with a walk into Santa Eulària des Riu, 0.5 km away, for the promenade and the marina before the day heats up. Drive the 3.4 km to Cala Llonga for a swim in the sheltered inlet, or continue 5.1 km to Es Canar if a family beach suits better. Both are short hops, so the car can stay put for the rest of the afternoon, and the garage comes into its own on the return.

Keep a Wednesday for the Punta Arabí market at Es Canar, 5.6 km off, and a Saturday for Las Dalias at Sant Carles, 4.5 km away, checking current days first. An alternative morning is kayaking the north coast calas, around 11.2 km from Ros Apartamentos. Back in Santa Eulària, the evening is the slow part: a walk along the river and the marina, then dinner in town before the 0.5 km walk home.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm Ros Apartamentos' opening dates before booking outside summer; the height of the season falls in July and August, when the east coast beaches fill accordingly. The Balearic government's sustainable tourism tax, known as the ecotasa, is collected per person per night by the accommodation, at a rate set by the type and category of the property and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with children under 16 exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
