In today's article, we are going to show you some of the charming villages that you should visit during your vacations in Ibiza. This way, you can get to know that atmosphere that the first "hippies" and tourists of the 70s fell in love with.
Will you join us?
Sant Antoni de Portmany
One of the historical ports of Ibiza. The town is located in a protected bay of clear waters surrounded by small coves. Famous for its sunsets on the promenade, this town of Ibiza is a tourist reference in the west of the island, with world-famous establishments such as Café del Mar or Mambo Ibiza.
For some time now, it has also positioned itself as a destination for top-level sports tourism, hosting all kinds of sporting events in the low season (April-May and September-October). Trails, marathons, triathlons... Sant Antoni is sport!
The church square of this village of Ibiza is an oasis of tranquility, with typical restaurants in the surroundings. Do not miss it!
Santa Eulària des Riu
If we talk about beautiful villages in Ibiza, Santa Eulària can not miss on the list. The town (in the east of the island) is chosen mostly by families and couples looking for comfort and tranquility. Its urban center is beautiful and lively, with a multitude of options to taste a gastronomy of the highest quality.
Like Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària also has a beautiful promenade and a church that crowns a hill with stunning views. It is not by chance that this place is chosen by many couples for their wedding celebrations?
Don't miss, either, its marina, one of the best places for a mid-afternoon cocktail!
Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera
This is one of the most beautiful villages of Ibiza. Santa Gertrudis stands out for the atmosphere that permeates its narrow streets and the iconic church square. Famous for its traditional bars and for being one of the quietest places on the island despite being relatively close to the capital.
In Santa Gertrudis have settled a multitude of artisans and artists who offer their products in cozy boutique stores, giving it that bucolic air that few places in Ibiza can boast.
Perfect to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle with all the calm of the world...
Sant Josep de Sa Talaia
It is very likely that you know the municipality of Sant Josep because it is the one with the largest number of beaches on the island. But its urban center is also one of the most beautiful villages of Ibiza. Although small in size, Sant Josep emanates a special aura.
The church, the town hall and the small white houses of its streets are some of its most famous attractions. On a gastronomic level you can also find some jewels of Ibicencan cuisine and just a few minutes drive away you can reach the highest point of Ibiza (the mountain of "Sa Talaia").
If you pass by here, stop and enjoy!
Es Cubells
A village on a cliff? Yes, a village on a cliff. The parish (as the nuclei are known in the villages of Ibiza) of Es Cubells is one of the most interesting places that you can visit during your vacations.
Its extension is tiny if we compare it with other localities. Its main attraction is the church and, beyond that, there is not much historical heritage to discover. But the views you will find there are simply unparalleled.
For nothing in the world should you miss one of the most charming villages of Ibiza...
Sant Carles de Peralta
In the northeast of the island we come across Sant Carles, another small parish with its white houses as the main protagonist. This is where the first "hippie" communes settled, an influence that you can still breathe in its streets (and in the Las Dalias street market, just a few minutes from the center).
Another of the villages of Ibiza that you should explore if you want to know the authentic "B side" of the island. Tranquility, peace, harmony with nature... A perfect alternative if you want to escape the frenetic pace that usually characterizes the nightlife of Ibiza.
