Towns & Villages in Ibiza

The large area of Sant Josep covers mainly the whole south west of the island and is a gateway to some of the island's most beautiful beaches and to the islet of Es Vedra.

This quiet beach resort is popular with those who would prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of the San Antoni and Ibiza Town clubbing scenes.

Past San Rafael, above San Antonio, is the small village of Santa Agnes, only 18km north west of the town of Ibiza, this is really in the sticks. 

The tiny village of San Mateu d'Albarca is one of the smallest on the island. Located 19km north of Eivissa, this tiny village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and lots of vineyards.

San Antonio is the town by which many people define Ibiza. During the 1980's the town hit a development boom, as tourists (mainly English), flocked in their thousands to visit the sunny resort and dance the night away.

You can reach the area of Figueretes if you walk all the way through Ibiza town, away from the port.
