Search hotels in San Antonio Bay

Plenty to do, if you don’t have a plan for the day/evening, you’re guaranteed to find somewhere of interest. We booked lots of events and parties all in San Antonio Bay, very close to where we stayed, everything is in a convenient location and in a bustling part of the town. Also getting to San Antonio from the airport is very easy, we paid between €35-40 for a taxi which wasn’t too bad considering how expensive everything else is in Ibiza ;)

Due to Covid a lot of bars and shops are boarded up. However this end of the bay is showing green shoots of recovery and aiming at the more affluent end of the market with a few high end hotels and some up-market bars. However be prepared a few have a minimum spend per person and you have to book in advance. The positive is people stay in for the evening. The negative is you can't visit a few bars in one night. Cafe del Mar, Mambo, Ocean beach all have a similar policy in place. But don't forget on sunset strip your paying for an experience. Sadly if the weather is not to great your sunset won't happen and of course you still have to pay. As you walk around the Bay coastal path there a no shortage of bars and restaurants to visit. The famed west end is a shadow of its former self with many bars now closed. Even the amazing Savannah on Sunset strip has been boarded up. Leaving only 2 places which you have to make reservations for to guarantee a seat. Overall the whole of San Antonio and bay area are going through s transitional period and for the better in my opinion.

I've been travelling to Ibiza for over 20 years and San Antonio struggled with its reputation many years ago due to the swarms of binge drinking brits who descended into San An for cheap booze and bars. In more recent years however the area has seen a real clean up with the likes of Mint Lounge, Golden Bhudda and several other beach front bars that offer good food and a nice atmosphere. The Bay area is fantastic if you are looking to take advantage of lower prices but also need some quiet time with family or a partner. The quality of Hotels in the bay is excellent and there are many great value places to stay including Els Pins, Sol House, Axel Beach to name a few. As a solo traveller the location is perfect. Its far enough away from the madness that its very safe to walk around but its also a short taxi ride of 8 euros if you want to head into busy San An

We loved the neighbours who were very engaging and respectful. The Irish bar's staff made us welcome and made my 50th birthday and surprise engagement one to remember. The taxi drivers were always happy and informed us of places to visit in Ibiza old town.

The location is perfect to be in a quiet area of the island but close to everything you need day to day if you don't have a luxury resort you want to stay in for the whole stay. Best beaches of the island are close by, many very good and affordable restaurants around, bus stops and parking slots easily found.

The end of the season meant that lots of places were closed - each day the options got smaller! However, lovely for a getaway in October as thre beaches were popular and the sea was crystal clear! Jet-boat 360 trip was amazing - they take you on a tour around the island and spin 360's in a speedboat, which was awesome, they then send you a document via email with all your photos and videos (taken on a GoPro) for free!
