Discover our holiday villas in Santa Eulalia

Santa Eulalia has never quite belonged to Ibiza's party reputation, and that's by design as much as by geography. The town grew up around the only river in the Balearic Islands, the water that once turned the mills supplying flour to the rest of the island. That practical history shows in how unhurried the place still feels: a two-kilometre promenade along the seafront, a working marina at Port Esportiu, and a town centre built for walking rather than driving through. Above it all sits Puig de Missa, a fortress church raised in the 16th century when pirate raids were a real threat, its cemetery and whitewashed buildings still climbing the hill exactly as they did then.
