Sant Antoni de Portmany
A lively resort town on Ibiza's west coast, famous for its sunset strip, its bars and clubs, and a wide, sheltered bay.
Sant Antoni de Portmany, often called San Antonio, is the second-largest town on Ibiza, set on a wide bay on the west coast. Once a fishing village, it grew into one of the island's main party resorts, best known for its sunset bars and its nightlife. It is also a budget-friendly base for beaches, boat trips and the rest of the island.
What Sant Antoni de Portmany is known for
Sant Antoni is best known for its sunset and its nightlife. Along the Sunset Strip at Ses Variades, bars such as Café del Mar and Café Mambo have drawn crowds for chill-out sessions as the sun goes down for decades. After dark, the action moves to the West End, a packed grid of pedestrian streets full of bars and small clubs, while big superclubs like Es Paradís and Eden sit in the town and Amnesia and Privilege a short ride away. By day, the bay has a sandy town beach, S'Arenal, and boats leave the harbour for nearby coves and for Formentera.
