- 1In Santa Eulària des Riu, the Puig de Missa hilltop church-fortress panorama, the Riu de Santa Eulària valley walk to the Pont Vell and mil de baix windmill, the year-round Cala Nova dog beach north of Es Canar, and Las Dalias hippie market at Sant Carles every Saturday are within reach of every hotel on this list, good for morning and evening outings.
- 2Santa Eulària des Riu is the calmer family resort of Ibiza's east coast, a 38,000-resident municipality wrapped around the whitewashed 16th-century church-fortress of Puig de Missa, the only year-round river in the Pitiüses with its Pont Vell Roman bridge and mil de baix windmill, a long Paseo Marítimo and Marina, and the Saturday Las Dalias hippie market in Sant Carles, pets are a normal part of street life, café terraces, and local shops.
- 3Hotels selected for this guide are specifically in the seafront and Marina Santa Eulària, the pedestrian Carrer Sant Vicent, the Riu de Santa Eulària valley up to Puig de Missa, and the east-coast resorts of Es Canar, S'Argamassa and Cala Llonga, where pet infrastructure is densest and local restaurants routinely provide water bowls and terrace access.
Best season: spring & autumn
