Santa Eulalia holidays
Santa Eulalia is Ibiza's third-largest resort, and it's a great place for families and couples who want a quiet, relaxing vacation away from the island's famous parties and fun. If you want a beach vacation, Santa Eulalia has wide sands that slope gently into aquamarine waters. This makes it a great place for families with young children.
Behind it is a long, palm-lined promenade that is great for strolling along and then sitting back with a drink to watch one of Ibiza's amazing sunsets.
Santa Eulalia is also known as the "foodie capital" of Ibiza because of its waterfront and promenade. If you like to eat good food in a laid-back atmosphere, this place has some of the best restaurants in Ibiza. Holidays in Santa Eulalia are the fastest way to slow down. There are things for families to do, great shopping, and, of course, a beautiful golden beach.
Things to do
When people go on vacation to Santa Eulalia (or Santa Eulária, if you prefer), the beaches and prom are where they spend most of their time. Think about bars on the beach, easy shopping on vacation, and beautiful views of the sea. Ibiza Town should be at the top of your list of places to go on a day trip. The island's capital is calm and busy at the same time. It has a lot of history and some great places to go out at night. Ibiza's famous clubs are one of the main reasons people go to the "White Isle" to have fun, and even though Santa Eulalia is one of the quieter resorts, there are still some good places to dance. You could plan a big night out with the party people in San Antonio or Playa d'en Bossa, or you could check out the nightlife in Santa Eulalia.

Events in Santa Eulalia
Easter week:
Easter is a big deal in Ibiza, just like it is in the rest of Spain. Most towns and cities celebrate Holy Week, which is also called Semana Santa. During this week, people dress up in unique costumes and parade with statues of the town's patron saint.
Spring flowers:
During the Santa Eulalia Flower Festival, which is held in May, the town celebrates the start of spring and remembers an old story about a church that was about to fall and how its congregation was miraculously saved. Expect a parade of horse-drawn carts, people dressed in traditional clothes, more flowers than you've ever seen, and lots of fireworks at one of the most colourful festivals around.
