San Antonio Bay Holidays

The sun setting over boats in the port of San Antonio

On the small Balearic island of Ibiza is San Antonio Bay, which is regarded by some as the world’s best holiday destination if a buzzing nightlife is your main priority. The resort has grown from a small fishing village in the 1950s into the second largest town on the island. It is located in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany on the west coast of Ibiza, and while the area around San Antonio Bay has become widely developed, outside the town there is picturesque countryside. Package holiday deals get snapped up quickly due to its popularity, so booking package holidays in San Antonio early is a must to avoid disappointment.

The beaches in San Antonio are stunning, despite the crowds, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy on the water. Parasailing and speedboat rides are a firm favourite here, but if you are after something more extreme, why not try a bungee jump? Cruises around the bay and other parts of the island are also very popular, and give you the chance to relax and sunbathe away from the crowds before another wild night out. If containing your partying to the night is not enough, join a daytime party boat where you can enjoy all day drinking and music.

While the resort offers plenty of options for activities during the day, holidays in San Antonio Bay are centred on the world class clubs and celebrated DJs that play in them. Two of the biggest clubs in Ibiza are located here, Eden and Es Paradis. Eden trumps its neighbour with regards to its DJs, but Es Paradis is famous for its water parties, which it holds every Wednesday and Saturday. As the sun goes down it seems the whole town descends upon Sunset Strip, where you can watch the sun slide into the horizon from bars such as Café del Mar and Café Mambo.
