Last summer I went on vacation with my family to Santa Eulalia in Ibiza. It is the most popular family resort in Ibiza Island, & you are able to get great last minute package holidays deals there. We flew from Stansted, London, and arrived in Ibiza Island only just a couple of hours later. The transfer time was minimal to our apartment complex. It is great when you have two children, to be abroad quicker than your could driving to Devon or Cornwall!

The island has a very different side to it away from the famous Ibiza Nightlife, Santa Eulalia feels like you are on another island. It is a remarkably relaxed weekend destination, predominantly filled with families staying in self catering apartments or hotel developments with luxury swimming pools, and pool side cafes, it’s the type of resort that the children all make friends close by the swimming pool & tend to see one another at the local karaoke bar in the evening. It is an agreeable, friendly, mainly English tourist destination.

Although we spent much of the week by the swimming pool the beach was of a high quality with white sandy beach, water sports, toilets, refreshments and sunbed hire.

The fine restaurants sell traditional Spanish food such as Paella, and Tapas, the service tends to be of a really high stock in these types of quality restaurants. Other restaurants for those visitors that are not so adventurous, serve a full English breakfast or steak & chips, & a Sunday roast. The restaurants in Santa Eulalia tend to make you feel very stress free with the children.

There are a few diverse things to do on days out, although I must admit we spent the majority of our holiday in Santa Eulalia by the swimming swimming pool. The first which is lots of fun with young children is a tour of the island on a motorised train which leaves Santa Eulalia a number of times a day from the town hall, and only costs a few euros. One evening we did walk up to the Santa Eulalia tower. We also ventured to the Agualandia Water Park in Talamanca, although be careful with the sun, we did all burn slightly. The only other thing my husband did was a few rounds of golf as there is a gigantic golfing complex nearby to Santa Eulalia.

I found prices increased for flights to Ibiza the later I left it, so book them as early as possible. All in all we would go back to Santa Eulalia as we all had a wonderful weekend, & came home really relaxed.
