Overview: Situated on the west coast, 18 km from the airport and the capital Ibiza, San Antonio is the largest and liveliest tourist resort on the island. Known as 'San An' to the thousands of tourists who descend here each summer, the resort's proper name is Sant Antoni de Portmany. There are a few small sandy beaches in the resort, and the spectacular beaches of Cala Conta, Cala Bassa and Cala Tarida are a short bus or ferry ride away.
- Shopping: There is a selection of shops in and around San Antonio catering for tourists, from the inevitable bucket and spade stores to designer boutiques. Good buys include the local porcelain and leather goods. The local supermarkets are good and stock all the well-known brands; alcohol and cigarettes are particularly cheap. Ibiza Town is the best place to find the latest fashion accessories; the shops don't close until well after midnight during the high season and in the evenings the port area takes on the ambience of a hippy market with street vendors and stalls selling everything from jewellery to Ibiza´s best music CDs.
- Restaurants: San Antonio has two areas: 'The West End', which is packed with lots of small bars, fast food restaurants and pavement cafes, and the more upmarket 'Sunset Strip', in San Antonio Bay, where the better restaurants are found. Some restaurants offer good local Spanish fare and excellent locally-caught seafood.
- Nightlife: Ibiza is synonymous with clubbing and the nightclubs in and around San Antonio attract the best DJs from around the world such as Tim Westwood, Fat Boy Slim and Paul Van Dyke. A great place to start off the evening is in one of the bars along the Sunset Strip such as Mambo, Savannah and the exceptionally smooth Café del Mar where crowds gather every night to watch to sun go down. The clubs in San An include Eden and El Paradis, famous for its water party. Amnesia and Privilage (the world's largest club) are both located on the long straight road to the Ibiza Town, where Space, Pacha and El Divino are all located.
- Activities: The safe, shallow waters of San Antonia bay are great for swimming but the best beaches are 20 minutes away by public transport or ferry. Water sports and scuba diving can be organised at the seafront and on land everything from golf and tennis to quad biking, karting and horse riding can be arranged making Ibiza a great destination for sports enthusiasts. The interior of the island and much of the coastline is surprisingly unspoilt and can be easily explored, and Ibiza's historic Old Town is well worth a visit for a bit of culture.
Attractions
- Cova de Can Marca: A few miles north of the village of Sant Miquel, which has an attractive hill-top church and some good tapas bars, is the tourist attraction cave complex of cova de Can Marca. The caves have been commercialised and fitted with some spectacular sound and lighting effects, providing for an entertaining guided tour. The caves are situated atop a rocky inlet and there is a good view from the cave site. Opening time: Daily 11am to 1.30pm and from 3pm to 5.30pm, tours depart every half-hour
- D'Alt Vila (Ibiza Old Town): The old medieval district of Ciudad de Ibiza (Ibiza Town),world heritage declared by the UNESCO in 1999 and the capital of the island has sports narrow cobblestone streets, picturesque whitewashed houses and Gothic buildings around courtyards bright with blooming geraniums and bougainvillea. The old town, enclosed by historic walls and entered through the Puerta de las Tablas, contains some interesting sights, most noteworthy of which is the Archaeological Museum. The museum contains artefacts from prehistoric sites on the Balearic Islands, dating as far back as the Punic period between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. Also in the old town is the cathedral with its 10th-century Gothic tower and 18th-century Baroque nave.
- Formentera: The tiny island of Formentera covers 35 square miles (90 sq km) and is home to just over 5,000 people. It can only be reached by ferry from San Antonio or Ibiza town, with a regular service running every half an hour. The island is a popular day trip from Ibiza, and is relatively unspoilt by tourism development; accommodation options are very limited. The main attraction of this flat piece of land are some pretty villages and marvellous beaches flanked by palms and pines, many frequented by nudists. The best way to explore it is on a rented moped. The main port is La Sabina, and the other villages include beautiful Las Salinas, San Francisco Javier and San Fernando, all featuring quaint white-washed houses. Recommended beaches are Illetes, Es Pujols in the north, Mitjorn in the south, and Cala Saona in the wild west. Other beaches of note are En Boster, Ca'n Xico Mateu and the natural port of Es Calo. The highest point on the island is in the southeast corner at El Mirador.
- Las Salinas: One of Ibiza's famous landmarks are the salt flats, Las Salinas, close to the airport on the southern-most tip of the island. The saltpans have been in use for more than 2,000 years, since the earliest colonists, the Carthaginians, traded in the 'white gold' left in the pans when water evaporates in the hot summer months. The sparkling salt lakes provide one of the world's most beautiful sunset photograph opportunities.
- Santa Eulalia del Rio: Santa Eulalia is a pretty, atmospheric little town about nine miles (14km) north of the island's capital, much favoured by tourists because of its proximity to some of the best beaches and for its scenic setting. The town is situated on the estuary of the only river in the Balearic Islands, overlooked by the Puig de Missa, a fortress-church, sited on a hilltop view site. Another attraction in Santa Eulalia is the Sant Carles settlement a few kilometres to the north: the last true 'hippy' commune on Ibiza island remaining from the 1960s when hippy cultists flocked here. The famous Ibiza northern beaches like Aigues Blanques and Cala Llonga, can be reached by bus or boat from the town. |
