Sant Antoni de Portmany is known all over the world for its sunsets and sea views, but beyond its bay lies a different Ibiza.
In the interior of the municipality we find villages with history, tradition and landscapes that invite you to stop and enjoy without haste.
Today we propose you to discover three of them, perfect for a quiet getaway and to connect with the most authentic essence of the island.
Sant Rafel de sa Creu: tradition, gastronomy and craftsmanship
On the way between Ibiza and Sant Antoni, Sant Rafel de sa Creu invites you to stop and discover its essence... Its strategic location, at a crossroads, has meant that it has always been a place of passage and, in our opinion, an obligatory stop.
From the square of its church – located on a promontory – you can enjoy beautiful views, even towards Dalt Vila. But if there is one thing that defines Sant Rafel, it is its gastronomic character: its main street brings together a wide variety of restaurants that turn any visit into a culinary experience.
In addition, the town stands out for its strong craft tradition. Not surprisingly, it is the only one in Ibiza declared an Area of Artisan Interest, thanks to its ceramic workshops, some with national and international recognition.
A perfect stop to discover another side of the island.
Santa Agnès de Corona: nature, calm and almond trees in bloom
If there is a place that represents the quietest Ibiza, it is Santa Agnès de Corona. This small town, made up of its church, a few restaurants and little else, is the perfect example of a traditional Ibizan village.
What really makes Santa Agnès special is its surroundings: the Pla de Corona, one of the most beautiful landscapes on the island. Between January and February, the almond trees bloom and the valley is covered in white, creating a picture that seems to have been taken from another place.
But beyond this time, the area invites you to walk rural roads, go hiking or simply enjoy its views. From here you can also access enclaves such as the Sa Penya Esbarrada viewpoint, from where you can contemplate the islet of Ses Margalides and the north coast.
A place to disconnect, breathe and let yourself be carried away by the slow pace of the island.
A different view of Sant Antoni de Portmany, capital of the municipality
Sant Antoni is in fashion! The capital of the municipality also deserves a different look that allows you to discover a town with history, local life and a privileged environment.
Located in a large natural bay, it has a wide promenade, urban beaches and a port that connects with different points of the coast. Places such as Passeig de ses Fonts or its fortified church mark the heart of the town, surrounded by streets full of life, shops and restaurants.
Of course, we cannot forget its famous sunsets, especially from the area of Ses Variades, where every afternoon the sky becomes a spectacle.
Sant Antoni is also a starting point for other corners of the municipality, from unspoilt coves such as Cala Saladeta to wilder landscapes on the north coast.
A place that combines energy, nature and tradition.
