How to Get from Ibiza Airport
to Santa Eulalia
Taxi, private transfer, bus or rental car — every option compared with real prices and travel times.
Quick answer
The fastest option is a pre-booked private transfer (25 min, from €60 fixed rate). A metered taxi costs €35–€45 with no advance booking. The bus requires a change in Ibiza Town and takes 75–100 minutes. There is no direct bus from the airport to Santa Eulalia.
The Route: IBZ Airport → Santa Eulalia
The distance from Ibiza Airport (IBZ) to Santa Eulàlia des Riu is approximately 18 km via the PM-810 road. The journey crosses the island’s interior, passing close to Ibiza Town and through the hills of Sant Josep de Sa Talaia. Journey time is 20–30 minutes in normal traffic, rising to 40–50 minutes on busy summer evenings in July and August.
Santa Eulalia is on Ibiza’s east coast — the opposite side of the island from the airport — which makes it one of the longer transfer routes. It’s worth planning your transport in advance, especially if you’re arriving on an evening flight.
Option 1: Private VIP Transfer
A pre-booked private transfer from IbizaVIPCar is the most reliable option for the airport-to-Santa Eulalia route. Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name board, helps with luggage and takes you directly — no waiting in queues, no meter running in traffic.
For groups of 5–8, a luxury VIP minibus is available at a comparable per-person rate. All vehicles are air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz or equivalent.
Option 2: Metered Taxi
Official metered taxis are available at the taxi rank directly outside the arrivals hall at Ibiza Airport. The flag fall is approximately €3.25 and the per-kilometre rate increases at night and on weekends.
Option 3: Public Bus (with change)
There is no direct bus from Ibiza Airport to Santa Eulalia. The journey requires two legs:
Option 4: Rental Car
All major rental companies have desks at Ibiza Airport arrivals. The drive to Santa Eulalia is straightforward via the PM-810, taking 20–25 minutes. However, rental prices in peak summer are high, and street parking in Santa Eulalia town centre and along the marina is limited in July and August. For short stays, a private transfer is usually more practical and cost-effective.
