Travelling to Ibiza with children reveals a very different side of the island from the one usually associated with summer nightlife. Calm beaches, outdoor activities, seaside towns and places to stay where life moves at a slower pace make Ibiza an excellent destination for a family holiday.
On the island’s east coast, Santa Eulalia and its surroundings bring many of these qualities together. Just a short walk from Cala Pada beach, S’Argamassa Boutique Hotel is a small family hotel in Ibiza with 25 spacious suites, all with a private terrace, ideal for families looking for space, tranquillity and the sea close by.
Where to stay in Ibiza with children
Choosing the right area to stay is particularly important when travelling as a family. Away from some of the island’s busier resorts, Santa Eulalia del Río offers a more relaxed atmosphere, attractive beaches and plenty of activities to enjoy with children.
S’Argamassa Boutique Hotel is located next to Cala Pada, surrounded by Mediterranean pine trees and just a few minutes from the sea. Its location makes it easy to combine days on the beach with family activities and excursions, while still having somewhere peaceful to return to at the end of the day.

Ibiza with children: things to do near S’Argamassa
One of the best reasons to stay in this part of the island is the range of things to do in Ibiza with children. Many family-friendly activities are located close to the hotel, making it easy to combine beach days, nature and a little adventure.
Cala Pada: a family-friendly beach just a short walk away
Being so close to Cala Pada means you can simply walk down to the sea and enjoy a day on the beach without organising a long journey. Its location on the Santa Eulalia coastline also makes it a convenient starting point for discovering other nearby coves and beaches.
Kayaking and other water activities are also available in the area, particularly during the months when sea conditions are suitable.
Kayaking and paddleboarding at Cala Martina
A short distance from the hotel is Cala Martina, where there are several options for enjoying water sports such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
These activities offer a different way to explore Ibiza’s coastline and can be particularly enjoyable for families travelling with older children.
Zip lines and treetop adventures
Close to S’Argamassa there is also an outdoor adventure area with zip lines and treetop courses. It is an easy activity to combine with a morning on the beach or an afternoon by the pool during a family holiday.
Explore Santa Eulalia
Santa Eulalia del Río is also one of the most pleasant towns on the island to explore as a family. Its seafront promenade, marina, pedestrian areas and choice of restaurants make it easy to enjoy a relaxed afternoon after a day at the beach.
It is also worth visiting Puig de Missa, one of Santa Eulalia’s best-known landmarks, set above the town with attractive views over the surrounding area.
A day trip to the Can Marçà Caves
Families looking for something a little different can also visit the Can Marçà Caves, located near Port de Sant Miquel. They are another interesting stop to include when exploring Ibiza with children.
A visit to the caves offers the chance to discover one of the island’s best-known natural attractions and can be combined with a day exploring northern Ibiza.
A small hotel with a more personal approach
Travelling as a family sometimes means dealing with needs or plans that cannot always be arranged in advance. One of the advantages of staying in a small hotel is having a team that can offer more personal assistance throughout your stay.
At S’Argamassa Boutique Hotel, our team can help with local recommendations, activities, transfers and other arrangements to help make your family holiday as easy and enjoyable as possible.
The hotel’s restaurant completes the experience with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, allowing families to enjoy breakfast and meals without having to leave the hotel.
Family holidays in Ibiza outside the busiest summer months
Although July and August are among the busiest months for travel to Ibiza, spring and early autumn can be particularly appealing for families looking to experience the island at a gentler pace.
During months such as May, June, September and October, it can be easier to combine time on the beach with walks, excursions and outdoor activities. The milder temperatures are often well suited to exploring, while many areas of the island feel different from the height of the summer season.
For families who are not completely tied to school holiday dates, these months can be an appealing alternative for discovering a quieter side of Ibiza.
Tips for planning a holiday in Ibiza with children
A little planning can make a family stay on the island much easier:
- Choose the right area: staying close to beaches and useful services means less time spent travelling during your holiday.
- Check the suite facilities: particularly if you need a kitchenette, cot or a particular room layout.
- Mix beach days with activities: combining time by the sea with smaller excursions is a great way to discover different sides of Ibiza.
- Book certain activities in advance: particularly during school holidays and other popular travel periods.
- Don’t try to see the whole island at once: Ibiza has plenty to discover, and travelling with children is often more enjoyable at a slower pace.
