San Antonio de Portmany, in Ibiza, is a place full of contrasts between its lively nightlife and natural beauty. In addition to enjoying its well-known social scene, there is a wide variety of cultural, gastronomic, and scenic experiences to discover. Here we tell you everything you shouldn’t miss during your stay at our hostel.
Located a few kilometers north of San Antonio, the Aquarium Cap Blanc—also known as “sa Cova de ses Llagostes”—is a fascinating site that blends natural history with local culture. Originally a lobster hatchery, this cave was transformed into an aquarium in 1989 and offers a unique journey through marine species of the Ibizan Mediterranean. On weekends, it hosts the popular “sardinadas,” where you can enjoy grilled sardines while taking in panoramic sea views.
A bit further north of San Antonio lies the Cova de Ses Fontanelles. This site is famous for its cave paintings discovered by Henri Breuil in 1917, making it a place of significant historical value. Also known as the Wine Cave, it preserves traces from the Punic era and offers spectacular views over the Bay of San Antonio and its 11 nearby islets.
The Church of Sant Antoni, built in 1305, is the oldest temple on the island after Ibiza’s Cathedral. Its fortified architecture and defensive tower reflect the need for protection from frequent pirate attacks.
At the entrance to the town stands the Columbus Egg, a monument created in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America. This symbol, crafted by local artists, is an iconic landmark and a must-see stop in San Antonio.
