Nine miles north of Ibiza Town, on the east coast of the island, Cala Llonga is an attractive resort facing the beautiful waters of the bay and is surrounded by pine covered hills. Until the coastal road was built, access to Cala Llonga was by boat alone. Santa Eulalia, Ibiza’s third largest town, lies four miles to the north. It is a quiet resort generally very popular with the British and with families in particular. The pretty natural surroundings of verdant hills combined with the calm blue bay edged with creamy sand ensure a constant supply of visitors, many of whom return for subsequent holidays.
