Santa Eulalia is Ibiza's third-largest resort, and it's a great place for families and couples who want a quiet, relaxing vacation away from the island's famous parties and fun. If you want a beach vacation, Santa Eulalia has wide sands that slope gently into aquamarine waters. This makes it a great place for families with young children.
Behind it is a long, palm-lined promenade that is great for strolling along and then sitting back with a drink to watch one of Ibiza's amazing sunsets.
Santa Eulalia is also known as the "foodie capital" of Ibiza because of its waterfront and promenade. If you like to eat good food in a laid-back atmosphere, this place has some of the best restaurants in Ibiza. Holidays in Santa Eulalia are the fastest way to slow down. There are things for families to do, great shopping, and, of course, a beautiful golden beach.
When people go on vacation to Santa Eulalia (or Santa Eulária, if you prefer), the beaches and prom are where they spend most of their time. Think about bars on the beach, easy shopping on vacation, and beautiful views of the sea. Ibiza Town should be at the top of your list of places to go on a day trip. The island's capital is calm and busy at the same time. It has a lot of history and some great places to go out at night. Ibiza's famous clubs are one of the main reasons people go to the "White Isle" to have fun, and even though Santa Eulalia is one of the quieter resorts, there are still some good places to dance. You could plan a big night out with the party people in San Antonio or Playa d'en Bossa, or you could check out the nightlife in Santa Eulalia.
When you go on vacation to Santa Eulalia, you'll probably spend a lot of time walking along the promenade. Here, you'll find shops and cafes where you can stop for a quick break or buy something on your way to one of the beautiful beaches. Also, if you want to take a break from the heat, there are a few places where you can sit in the shade and look out at the sea. After a long day at the beach, come back here for an evening stroll or to have a drink at one of the bars while watching the sun go down.
Santa Eulalia is known as the foodie capital of Ibiza because it has so many restaurants. No matter what you're in the mood for, you're sure to find it in Santa Eulalia. There are cafes on the promenade and restaurants with fresh seafood by the marina, but foodies should go to Calle San Vicente.
The famous 200-meter-long street is called "Restaurant Street," and if you're looking for anything from traditional Spanish tapas or French fine dining to a pizzeria or sushi restaurant, you'll probably find it here. In the evenings, it feels like a fiesta, and you're welcome to join in.
Santa Eulalia is a great place to go if you want to see a place with a lot of history and culture. At the Puig de Missa church, on top of the hill, you can look at the beautiful whitewashed building and take in a wide view of the area. If you want to drive to Ibiza Town, it will take you about 15 minutes. When you get there, you will see beautiful old buildings. If you want to go back in time, go to the old town.
On Calle San Vicente, which is also called "Restaurant Street," you can get everything from tapas and pizza to Chinese and Mexican food.
At the centre of Santa Eulalia is its beautiful beach, a curve of golden sand with a top watersports centre.
Take a walk through the beautiful town and stop by the famous church from the 1600s that sits on a hilltop overlooking the town.

Every 30 minutes or so, a cheap bus service runs between the beach resorts in Ibiza. In the middle of Santa Eulalia, there is a bus station where you can buy a bus card if you plan to take the bus often.
There are taxi stands in the centre of town, and some taxi companies let you call ahead. Taxis in Ibiza that are licensed are white, have a meter, and are cheap for short trips.
If you plan to stay in the area, it is small and easy to walk around. The beach and hotels are close to the seafront promenade, which is a nice place to walk.
Easter is a big deal in Ibiza, just like it is in the rest of Spain. Most towns and cities celebrate Holy Week, which is also called Semana Santa. During this week, people dress up in unique costumes and parade with statues of the town's patron saint.
During the Santa Eulalia Flower Festival, which is held in May, the town celebrates the start of spring and remembers an old story about a church that was about to fall and how its congregation was miraculously saved. Expect a parade of horse-drawn carts, people dressed in traditional clothes, more flowers than you've ever seen, and lots of fireworks at one of the most colourful festivals around.
