Holidays Santa Eulalia Ibiza: Packages, Beaches and When to Go

The short airport run is the first thing families notice. With roughly 16 minutes between Ibiza airport and the resort, a late arrival or a tired toddler is far less of an ordeal than on a long coach transfer, which is why family holidays in Santa Eulalia, Ibiza are a common search for British parents. The town beach is on the doorstep, so you are not relying on buses or taxis to reach the sand each morning.

Couples and anyone after a slower pace will find plenty of coves to work through over a week or a fortnight: Cala Pada and Cala Martina are both about two miles out, Cala Llonga around two and a half, and Sol d'en Serra roughly three. For something beyond the beach, the remains of the S'Argamassa Roman Fish Farm lie about two miles from the centre.

Santa Eulària des Riu is a coastal town and municipality of around 31,000 people, and it is the base for almost everything on this page. Its own beach sits right in the centre, while Platja de Castello, Caló de s'Alga, a little bay on the Santa Eulària coast, and Ses Estaques are all within about half a mile.

A little further along the shore, Platja des Niu Blau is roughly a mile away, Cala Pada, Cala Martina and the S'Argamassa Roman Fish Farm about two miles, Cala Llonga around two and a half miles, and Sol d'en Serra about three. When you compare hotels, it is worth deciding first whether you want to walk to the town beach or stay closer to one of these coves.

The climate figures, recorded at Sant Antoni de Portmany on the other side of the island, show a classic Mediterranean pattern. June reaches around 28°C, July 32°C with just one rain day on average, and August 31°C. If you prefer warmth without the peak heat, April averages 21°C with only three rain days and October about 25°C, though October brings around seven rain days. September is still warm at 27°C but is the wettest month of the summer season, with roughly nine rain days.

Winter highs sit around 16°C, so this is not a winter sun destination in the way the Canaries are. Package prices generally rise during the UK school holidays, especially in late July and August, so families tied to those dates tend to book well ahead, while couples have more freedom to choose April, June or October.

Ibiza airport (IBZ) is served by direct flights from the UK and is the only airport you need to consider. The drive to Santa Eulària des Riu takes about 16 minutes, so on a package holiday your transfer is short whichever end of the resort your hotel is on.
