About Ibiza

Ibiza is a most popular holiday destination for British tourists, offering many hotels and apartments and an active nightlife. In fact, the Island of Ibiza is probably best known for its long summer parties, with thousands of young adults flooding in for the big summer club nights. Along with the neighbouring islands of Menorca and Majorca, it is located off the south east coast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Travel time by aeroplane from UK airports is around 2 to 2½ hours and the island is 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, typical of most continental European countries. Because of its Mediterranean climate it enjoys more-or-less guaranteed sunshine and warm temperatures throughout a long summer season, caters well for and is very popular with British holidaymakers.

Eivissa (Ibiza City)

Ibiza city is located on the south-east coast of the island. Although called Ibiza in Spanish, its official Catalan name is Eivissa (as restored in 1986) and its inhabitants call it 'Vila d'Eivissa' or simply 'Vil'a. It's divided into two main parts: the old town, called Dalt Vila (literally "Upper Town"), located in the little mountain by the sea, and the modern part, called Eixample. Sights include the cathedral of Santa Maria d'Eivissa (14th century), located on the top of Dalt Vila, and the Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins. Ibiza is widely known for its nightlife. Two of the island's most luxurious nightclubs are located in Ibiza Town centre. The town has two beaches: the nearby Platja d'en Bossa (see below) and Ses Figueretes. Ses Figueretes is without doubt the definitive Eivissa City beach, because it is in the part of the town nearest the city centre and can be reached by public transport, on foot or by bicycle. It is ideal for low-risk sunbathing and swimming, as the beach is sheltered from strong winds. On one side of this beach is the Ses Pitiüses walkway, a pedestrian area lined with hotels and other complementary services. In this regard, Ses Figueretes is a comfortable beach for tourists. The seabed is shallow and sandy in some of these beaches and rocky in others.

Puerto San Miguel

Also known as 'Port de Sant Miguel', this small town has a white sandy beach on the north west coast of Ibiza. Steep steps leading up the cliffs offer good vantage points for photographing the bay. There are several large concrete hotels and apartment blocks around the bay but a short walk to an unspoilt cove called Cala d'es Multons shows how the area would have looked before these developments.

San Antonio Abad

Sant Antoni de Portmany or, (Spanish: San Antonio Abad) is a town on the western coast of Ibiza. Most English-speakers refer to it, simply, as San Antonio. It is the second-largest town in Ibiza and said to be the clubbing capital of the world. It is situated on Sant Antoni Bay on the west coast of the island. For two thousand years Sant Antoni was a small quiet fishing village, but in the late 1950s many hotels and tourist resorts were built as part of a mass tourism initiative and by the 1980s Sant Antoni had acquired the stigma of being the holiday location of choice for British football hooligans, which lead to a decline in tourism in the area. However, it regained its popularity in the mid-1990s, (particularly in Britain), as having the best night clubs in the world. Young British clubbers make up the vast majority of visitors to the area.
