1. Visit beautiful beaches
Santa Eulalia del Rio is a bit more relaxing than most towns in Ibiza, that’s what makes its beaches really special. Two great spots to enjoy them are the Es Canar beach and the Mariners Beach.
Es Canar is a 350-meter long beach, with white sand and calm waters. The beach is very safe for children because the sea is very shallow. And if you are lucky enough to go on a Wednesday, you can end your beach day at the Es Canar hippy market, the most famous night market on the island. And if you are looking for a well located spot, full of restaurants and all the comforts you might need, that is Mariner’s beach with several beach restaurants and bars lining the promenade.

This is where you’ll truly experiment the essence of Ibiza. Stroll through pine forests and reach the small 19th century chapel on the top of the hill, the Ermita de “Sa Creu d'en Ribes,” with magnificent views overlooking the towns below and the sea. Soak in the details of the landscape and the nature of the forest. If you want your body, mind and spirit to be at peace, this is the kind of experience that will align them. Just bring a bottle of water, sunscreen and relax.

If you are a serious golfer, you can enjoy the amazing field Santa Eulalia del Rio has for you. And if you are an amateur, take a class to improve your game. You can also visit just for the food and enjoy the local cuisine at the restaurant Hoyo 19. This is a great place if you just want to wait for someone who is playing. The place itself is beautiful. Ten kilometers of pure nature, green fields and a quiet surrounding. Listen to the birds while you play in full concentration. If you take it professional, this is the real deal.
