a view along the Santa Eulalia Promenade

Santa Eulalia River Walk

A gentle short walk on quiet & well maintained paths

Location: Santa Eularia
Imprint: Updated 29 April 2026

This is actually the only natural river on the island so it is lovely that they have paved this way so you can enjoy it. With information boards along the way you can learn about your surroundings.

The area has been well landscaped and paved so that you can enjoy a circular walk along the river from the waterfront in Santa Eulalia inland towards the Puig de Missa and then returning to the beach area and promenade in Santa Eulalia. This is a great short walk to discover a different side the usual beach resort and blue waters that you would expect in Ibiza.

What to bring

It may not be a long walk but in the heat of summer you will need some water and sun cream! There are not any amenities along the way so make sure you pack these essentials in your bag.

What to see

The path takes you past several points of interest including a small waterfall, a water mill and the Puig de Missa. There are information boards to explain the various things along the route. Whilst you walk over the bridge at the beginning you may notice that there are padlocks attached to it... This is a Spanish custom where couples place their padlock on the bridge and then throw the key into the water, symbolising their relationship!
