Towns & Villages in Ibiza

The steep road that leads down into Cala Vadella from the south shows you a glimpse of the beauty that awaits you below. Passing beautiful white washed villas with colourful windows and roofs you are led down to a surprisingly lively and picturesque resort.

As you turn off the main road into Cala Llonga, you could be mistaken for this being a country club with its rather official looking walled entrance. It is however, a delightful family resort that is buzzing with life.

Below the walls of Dalt Vila is the old fisherman's quarter which is now a plethora of bars, shops and street vendors. The port is also home to one of the most expensive moorings in the world, Ibiza Magna.

This a resort mainly for clubbers and also families on package holidays. If you're looking for more history and culture then it's probably best to stay closer to Ibiza Town itself. 

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. 

Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera is 12km north of Ibiza Town, located in the middle of the island surrounded by rich countryside and fruit trees, (hence the name).

If you're looking for even more seclusion than the island of Formentera, then you can catch another boat from the port at La Savina in the north of Formentera, to the smaller island of Espalmador. 

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.

Continuing north from Santa Eularia along the east coast of Ibiza, is the small village of Sant Carles de Peralta. Located 22km north east of Ibiza Town, this is a perfect lunch spot if you are exploring the island.

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.

Situated in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, this pretty small village offers stunning views over the southern coastline.

This pretty village sits on top of a hill and is definitely off the beaten track, located 19km west of Ibiza town, just pass the town of San Josep.

Set back 1km inland from the beach resort of Playa d'en Bossa is the small and still traditional village of Sant Jordi.

Heading away from Dalt Vila along the curve of the bay, is the start of the newly developed Botafoch Marina.

This small village and municipality is located 23km north of Ibiza Town. The landscape around the village is very mountainous which provides great panoramic views across the countryside. 

Just off the western coast of the island lies an small archipelago of uninhabited islands. The largest of these is Illa de sa Conillera, literally translated at "rabbit island", due to its residents.

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.

The smaller of the two Pitiuses islands, Formentera lies 16km south of Ibiza Island. A day trip to Formentera is often a must do activity for visitors to Ibiza.
