A far cry from the image of party-loving Ibiza, Santa Eulària des Riu is a town on the island that has managed to distance itself from this stereotype to establish itself as a favourite destination for families, thanks to its wide range of activities combining nature, sport, gastronomy and outdoor pursuits. Among the must-do activities for discovering Santa Eulària des Riu with the family are:
A day of adventures
Santa Eulària des Riu has a wide range of activities linked to active tourism. From surf schools and adventure centres to hot-air balloon trips, the town offers options so that everyone, from the youngest children to the most experienced visitors, can enjoy activities suited to all ages.
Discovering the coast from the sea
With its white beaches, deep blue waters and famous Posidonia seagrass meadows, Santa Eulària is the perfect destination for delving into the depths of the Mediterranean. One way to get to know this coastline from the water is through activities such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or even pedal boating, which allow you to discover the island in a different way whilst enjoying time with the family.
Exploring the municipality on two wheels
Another way to explore the municipality in depth is via cycle routes. For visitors interested in low- to medium-difficulty routes, there are Cala Llonga, Ses Feixes and Cala Pada. With journey times of no more than an hour and a half, these are the perfect option for discovering Santa Eulària’s most iconic landscapes.
On the other hand, the Playas and Jesús routes are suited to more experienced cyclists, taking between 2 hours and 2 hours 40 minutes, and taking in the coves and hills of the municipality respectively.
Getting around the island with complete freedomf
With a car, getting around is easy and gives families the chance to combine beaches, villages and activities with complete freedom. For those wishing to explore historic sites, a visit to the churches of Puid de Missa, Jesús or Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera is a must, as is the Can Planetes River Interpretation Centre – a former flour mill converted into an interpretation centre – or Pont Vell, a bridge spanning the only river in the Balearic Islands, amongst many others. Meanwhile, for visitors who simply cannot tear themselves away from the coast, the route must include the Canal d’en Martí, Es Pou des Lleó, the Campanitx Tower and the Church of Sant Carles de Peralta.
A break to enjoy the local cuisine
After a day of activities, it’s also time to enjoy a good meal. Santa Eulària des Riu offers a wide range of culinary options, from cuisine with deep-rooted Mediterranean influences to international dishes that are already gaining a reputation on the island. In addition, Santa Eulària Town Council has an online guide to its charming restaurants, which details each establishment’s philosophy and cuisine, the criteria they meet, their culinary specialities, opening months and contact details. And for those interested in traditional Ibizan cuisine, there is also a gastronomic guide called Tradición a la Carta.
Santa Eulària des Riu’s commitment to family tourism is also reflected in the Family Pass, an initiative designed to make the stay easier for those travelling with children. Thanks to this programme, families can access various exclusive discounts, as well as personalised guides, which make their experience at the destination even more comfortable and fulfilling.
