Santa Eulària Des Riu: Beaches, Water Sports and Culture

Santa Eulària Des Riu offers several clearly distinct starting points for planning your trip: the three beaches of Playa Santa Eulària, water sports at Cala Martina, and a cultural visit to Can Planetes. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these themes you’d like to shape your stay. This way, you can start your selection with your travel plans and the experiences that matter to you.

Getting There and Planning

Santa Eulària Des Riu can be reached from Ibiza Town by road and by public transport. You can therefore take both road connections and public transport into account when planning your journey. Check the timetables for your intended travel date, as transport options and schedules may change.

Beaches and Excursions

Playa Santa Eulària has three beaches connected by a modern promenade. The water at these beaches is clean and shallow. If you’re planning a beach day, you have two specific points to keep in mind: the nature of the water and the promenade connecting the areas.

Boats for excursions along the coast of Ibiza depart from the harbor at Playa Santa Eulària. A boat trip offers a different focus from a stay at the beaches, taking you along the coast. Schedules and operators may change; check dates and availability if you’re planning a trip.

The promenade and harbor offer two different ways to experience the coast: at the connected beaches or on a boat trip along the coast of Ibiza. You can plan your day accordingly, depending on whether you’d prefer to focus on time at the beach or a trip on the water.

Water Sports at Cala Martina

Water sports such as dinghy sailing, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking are available at Cala Martina. A dive school organizes dives to the nearby islets, which are rich in sea caves. The options differ: water-based activities are an alternative to diving trips to the islets. Operators and equipment may change; check current availability in advance if you’re planning one of these activities.

Culture and Sightseeing

Sala Barrau displays a collection of works by the painter Laureà Barrau. Exhibition arrangements may change, so check visitor information if you specifically want to see the collection.

Can Planetes, the interpretation center for the Santa Eulària River, features a traditional farmhouse with a watermill, household objects and information panels. The exhibition offers different perspectives: the mill provides a technical focus, while the household objects highlight domestic life; the panels complement the exhibition.

Can Planetes offers guided tours for school and tourist groups; check arrangements in advance. Can Planetes was announced as closed for improvement works during summer 2026. If you plan to visit after that period, check current access arrangements in advance.
