Situated on Ibiza’s western coast, Sant Antoni de Portmany is considered the “clubbing capital of the universe”, thanks to its lively nightlife, legendary dance halls and swanky cocktail lounges. During the day, the city slows to a relaxing crawl, as locals seek shady refuge in cafes and beaches.

Things to do

Surrounded by pinewood forest and naturally protected by rock formations, Cala Salada beach is popular with boat enthusiasts. The bright water beckons all who draw near, from small boats that bob in and out of the shallow bay to cliff divers, snorkelers and sunbathers.

Stroll down Ibiza’s famous sunset strip, a restaurant and bar-filled promenade that stretches the length of Sant Antoni de Portmany’s coastline. Whether you’re watching the sunrise or dancing as the sun sets, sunset strip features world-class DJs, hip cafes, tasty brunch destinations and relaxing lounges.

Looking for an action-packed day on the water? Check out Ocean Mania, an inflatable water park at Ocean Beach Club with slides, trampolines, balancing beams and bridge. Swing across the Mediterranean from a tower, perform a high dive into the sea or simply enjoy bouncing around under the sun.

Café del Mar began in 1980 as a simple cocktail bar that blended live music with Sant Antonio’s epic sunsets. It’s since transformed Ibiza’s nightlife, creating a new genre of electronic music in the process. This cherished venue is still considered a rite of passage for anyone visiting Ibiza.
