This active Ibizan coastal town draws clubbers with its late-night music venues and bars. By day, visitors relax on sandy beaches or explore the narrow lanes of the old quarter.
Sant Antoni de Portmany stretches along Ibiza's western coast, where you can watch the sunset from the Mediterranean-facing Ses Variades rocks, dance to world-famous DJs at Café del Mar, or explore the 14th-century Sa Punta des Molí windmill. Take boat trips from the marina to hidden coves, swim at the town beach, or join the evening crowds at the West End's music venues.
Watching the Sunset at Ses Variades
Head to the Ses Variades coastline before dusk, where you'll join hundreds of people sitting on the rocky shoreline or at waterfront bars. The sun sets behind the isle of sa Conillera, creating a daily social event. DJs like Carl Cox and David Guetta play sets at Café del Mar and Café Mambo during sunset hours, while visitors spread across the rocks with drinks and cameras.
Beach Life and Water Activities
Swim and sunbathe at the bay's sandy beaches from late morning until sunset. Catch a boat from the marina every 30 minutes to reach quiet coves like Cala Bassa and Cala Conta. You can rent jet skis, go parasailing, or take boat trips around the coast. The natural harbor, once called Portus Magnus by Romans, now connects you to nearby beaches via water taxi.
Evening Entertainment in the West End
Walk through the West End's Carrer de Santa Agnès to find clubs and bars open from sunset until dawn. Dance to electronic music at Es Paradis and Eden, or listen to rock and indie bands at smaller venues. O Beach Ibiza hosts daily pool parties, and you'll find live music venues tucked into the area's side streets.
Walking the Passeig de ses Fonts
Watch the synchronized fountain displays light up the harbor promenade after dark. During daytime, palm trees shade the walkway where you can stop at restaurants with views of Sant Antoni Bay. The annual Saint Bartholomew festival on August 24 ends with fireworks over the water.
Historical Sites
Visit the Church of Sant Antoni's polygonal tower from the 14th century, built during times when pirates roamed these waters. At Sa Punta des Molí cultural center, explore an intact windmill, see the working water wheel, and walk through an early 20th-century olive oil mill. The site includes fishing huts displaying exhibits about local maritime life before tourism arrived in the 1950s.
