If you are wondering what to see in Santa Eulària des Riu, here are the must-see spots to experience its most authentic side.

Charming places and heritage

Puig de Missa: Standing on top of the hill, Puig de Missa is one of the most iconic landmarks in Santa Eulària. This 16th-century church, with its white walls and fortified appearance, dominates the landscape and offers beautiful views over the town and the sea.

Highlight: the historic complex and its panoramic viewpoint.
Tip: visit early in the morning or at sunset to avoid the heat and enjoy the best light.

Highlight: a local perspective on Ibiza beyond its beaches.
Tip: include it in a relaxed morning plan and combine it with a walk around the surroundings.

Ibiza Conference Centre (Santa Eulària): A modern and functional building integrated into a peaceful setting, ideal for adding a different kind of stroll and discovering another side of the municipality.

Highlight: the calm surroundings, perfect for an easy walk.
Tip: combine it with the seafront promenade to complete a relaxing route.

Between the sea and the town centre: promenade, marina and local life

Santa Eulària town centre and local life: The centre is best explored on foot, from Plaça d’Espanya to Passeig de s’Alamera, a pedestrian promenade that acts as the heart of the town with shops, cafés and a pleasant atmosphere.

Highlight: Passeig de s’Alamera as the main place to stroll, shop and stop for a relaxed drink.
Tip: if you want to extend the walk, connect it with the River Route for a circular stroll.

S’Alamera Hippy Market: A small market with handicrafts, jewellery and souvenirs, held from May to October every day except Wednesdays and Sundays, from 10:00 to 19:00.

Highlight: its central location makes it easy to include during a day in Santa Eulària.
Tip: visit slowly and enjoy it as part of a relaxed walk through the town centre.

Seafront promenade and marina: One of the great pleasures here is walking along the sea connecting the bay with Marina Santa Eulalia and the Captaincy building.

Highlight: the lively marina atmosphere and the Capitanía area.
Tip: go at sunset, when the light transforms the entire landscape.

Beaches and coves to unwind

Santa Eulària Beach is the most convenient option because it is located within the town itself, allowing you to combine swimming, walking and restaurants without using the car. If you feel like exploring further, coves such as Cala Llonga, Cala Nova or Cala Pada are only about 10 minutes away by car and are well worth the visit thanks to their natural surroundings and relaxed atmosphere.

Highlight: choose between an urban beach or nearby coves with a more natural setting.
Tip: arrive early if you prefer quiet spots and check the wind conditions before choosing your beach.

Santa Eulària des Riu is best discovered slowly: a walk by the sea, a view from Puig de Missa, a swim in a clear-water cove and the soft light that appears as the day comes to an end. More than ticking off places, the idea here is to experience them and let the atmosphere do the rest.
