A quieter but popular town on east coast of the island
Situated 15km north along the east coast from Ibiza town is the charming municipality of Santa Eularia. This area has a slower and more relaxed pace of life than its neighbours of Ibiza town and San Antonio.
There are beaches, markets and charming villages, making this an attractive destination for families and travellers wanting an alternative to nightlife.
The pretty town centre is based around a pretty promenade, where there are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés, plus a stunning white sandy beach. Well known for its gastronomy this is a good spot to pick a restaurant and order your fill of delicious seafood.
Shopping here is also very good with some lovely boutiques in the town, but can be pricey around the exclusive marina area. The beautiful old town is worth the 15-minute walk from the new town and is home to the church of Puig de Missa
Trawling the summer markets is a great way to spend your time away from the beaches. With local art works, jewellery, clothes and food produce you can find plenty of souvenirs and small treats to take home with you.
Santa Eularia itself hosts a regular artisan market selling everything from soaps, to cheese and jewellery to leather goods. But if you travel along the coast you will also find the popular Hippy Market of Punta Arabi. Probably one of the most poplar markets in the island.
To the south along the coast you will come to Cala Llonga which hosts a beautiful market on Thursday evenings, great for a shop as you leave the beach.
