Where To Stay In Ibiza

One of the most common questions we get asked is “Where’s best to stay in Ibiza?” so we thought we’d write a blog summarising some of the most popular Ibiza resorts to help you out. You’re welcome!

Ibiza Town (Eivissa)

The capital of Ibiza, Ibiza Town, really does have something for everyone. With it’s rich history, it has everything from culture to clubbing, all overlooked by the ancient citadel of Dalt Vila which contains original Sixteenth and Eighteenth Century military technology with replica weapons and armoury if history is your thing.

Home to the world-famous nightclub, Pacha, there is no shortage of nightlife in the capital but if you’re after a slower pace of life, then the old town streets & harbour are jam-packed with a great selection of bars and restaurants for you to wile away the day over a jug or 3 of sangria whilst picking out which super-yacht you’ll buy when you win the lottery!

San Antonio

Situated on the west coast of the island and best known for its sunset, Ibiza’s second largest town, San Antonio, is a buzzing resort with probably the widest varieties of things to do on both land and sea. It’s hard to believe that for 2000 years it was once a small fishing village!

One of the largest and most beautiful natural harbours in Europe, San Antonio is the most popular resort for taking to the water by boat and exploring the beautiful west coast coves and beaches whether that’s on your very own Ibiza boat charter or on one of the many party boats.

Attracting a younger crowd, there are also plenty of bars to prepare you for the Ibiza nightlife once the sun sets.

Santa Gertrudis

Steeped in tradition and surrounded by agricultural landscape, Santa Gertrudis in the centre of Ibiza is home to a mix of hip & Ibicenco bars, restaurants, shops and a pretty little whitewashed church.

Small but perfectly formed, the village square is a pedestrian friendly plaza and home to arts and crafts shops, galleries, and an eclectic mix of clothing and accessory shops – an ideal place to enjoy the true delights Ibiza has to offer.

Portinatx

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy some beach time, then family-friendly Portinatx might be the place for you. Situated on the beautiful far north east tip of the island, scenes of the musical South Pacific were filmed here due to its stunning backdrop of pine trees and three fabulous beaches.

Although a distance from the famous clubs of Ibiza, there is a surprisingly active nightlife in Portinaxt’s music bars and small clubs with plenty of activities on offer in the day such as water sports and mini-golf for the more active so something for everyone.

Distance from the airport: 35km
