Holidays in San Antonio

Situated on Menorca's west coast, only ten miles from the airport and the capital Ibiza, San Antonio is the largest and liveliest tourist resort on the island. Known as 'San An' to the thousands of British clubbers who descend here each summer, the resort's proper name is Sant Antoni de Portmany. Its long, wide bay is lined with bars, restaurants and apartment blocks catering mainly for young British tourists. There are a few small sandy beaches in the resort, and the spectacular beaches of Cala Conta, Cala Bassa and Cala Tarida are a short ferry ride away. July and August are the best months to visit for those looking for buzzing nightlife, while the months of May and June, and September and October are most popular with families, couples and older visitors.

Sightseeing in San Antonio

A few miles north of the village of Sant Miquel, which has an attractive hill-top church and some good tapas bars, is the tourist attraction cave complex of Cova de Can Marca. The caves have been commercialized and fitted with some spectacular sound and lighting effects, providing for an entertaining guided tour. The old medieval district of Ciudad de Ibiza (Ibiza Town), the capital of the island, sports narrow cobblestone streets, picturesque whitewashed houses and Gothic buildings around courtyards bright with blooming geraniums and bougainvillea.

San Antonio Beaches

The safe, shallow waters of San Antonia bay are great for swimming but the best beaches are twenty minutes away by public transport or ferry. Water sports and scuba diving can be organized at the seafront and on land everything from golf and tennis to quad biking, karting and horse riding can be arranged making Ibiza a great destination for sports enthusiasts.

Shopping in San Antonio

There is a selection of shops in and around San Antonio catering for tourists, from the inevitable bucket and spade stores to designer boutiques. Good buys include the local porcelain and leather goods. The local supermarkets are good and stock all the well-known brands; alcohol and cigarettes are particularly cheap. Ibiza Town is the best place to find the latest fashion accessories; the shops don't close until well after midnight during the high season and in the evenings the port area takes on the ambience of a bohemian market at night with street vendors and stalls selling everything from jewelry and cheap CDs.

Activities in San Antonio

Ibiza is synonymous with clubbing and the nightclubs in and around San Antonio attract the best DJs from around the world such as Tim Westwood, Fat Boy Slim and Paul Van Dyke. A great place to start off the evening is in one of the bars along the Sunset Strip such as Mambo, Savannah and the exceptionally smooth (but expensive) Café del Mar where crowds gather every night to watch to sun go down. The clubs in San An include Eden and El Paradis, famous for its water party. Amnesia and Privilage (the world's largest club) are both located on the long straight road to the Ibiza Town, where Space, Pacha and El Divino are all located.

Culture in San Antonio

The interior of the island and much of the coastline is surprisingly unspoilt and can be easily explored, and Ibiza's historic Old Town is well worth a visit for a bit of culture. The old town, enclosed by historic walls and entered through the Puerta de las Tablas, contains some interesting sights, most noteworthy of which is the Archaeological Museum. Also in the old town is the cathedral with its 10th-century Gothic tower and 18th-century Baroque nave.

Food in San Antonio

San Antonio has two areas: 'The West End', which is packed with lots of small bars, fast food restaurants and pavement cafes, and the more upmarket 'Sunset Strip', in San Antonio Bay, where the better restaurants are found. Some restaurants offer good local Spanish fare and excellent locally-caught seafood but the majority cater for more British tastes - Chinese, Indian and Italian food, hamburgers and chips and the staple full English breakfasts and Sunday roasts.
