BeachEs Niu Blau
A beach of about 100 m between Santa Eulària and Cala Pada: sand, stones and rocks, restaurants, water sports and a gently sloping seabed.
What makes Babylon Beach special
Within walking distance of the centre of Santa Eulària des Riu lies a small cove on Ibiza’s east coast. On the map it’s called Babylon Beach, after the beach restaurant and cocktail bar that, according to its own website, opened here in 2013.
As the crow flies, the cove is just over a kilometre east of the town centre. The beach itself is a mix of sand and rocks. In calm weather, the clear water is good for swimming and snorkelling.
According to its own website (as of 2022), the restaurant sits right on the water, with sunloungers under bamboo parasols and a play area for children. At the time, the menu featured Ibizan and Mediterranean dishes.
Is the restaurant still open?
All the information about the restaurant and its facilities on this page dates from 2022. A lot may have changed since then, including the restaurant’s name.
Getting there and parking
You can walk to the cove from the centre of Santa Eulària. You can also get there by car.
Parking nearby is limited, especially in high season. If you’re staying in Santa Eulària, walking is a good alternative.
Facilities
The facilities depend on the restaurant. According to the most recent information available (2022), there were:
- A restaurant and bar by the water
- Sunloungers under parasols
- A play area for children
It isn’t known whether there are public toilets, showers or a lifeguard.
Tips for your visit
- Want to eat there or hire a sunlounger? Book ahead in high season. In 2022, the restaurant specifically recommended booking for groups of six or more.
- Bring water shoes: there are rocky patches among the sand.
- Mainly going for a swim? Bring your own towel and parasol in case the restaurant is closed.
- Combine your visit with a stroll around Santa Eulària, or with Es Niu Blau a little further north-east.
- Looking for a beach with a lifeguard and showers? The town council lists those facilities at Platja des Riu, a ten-minute walk from the centre of Santa Eulària.
