Sant Antoni de Portmany
Two nights if you came for the sunset strip and the West End; skip it as a base if you want quiet coves and old-town Ibiza.
Sant Antoni is Ibiza's second town and its party engine: a bay-side strip of sunset bars, a dense block of British bars called the West End, and cheap beds that pull a young crowd. The town itself is plain, the beaches are small, and the big clubs sit outside it. Come for two nights of nightlife and sunsets, or stay elsewhere and visit for one evening.

Rules in force · 9Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Iberia ↗Plan meals on the Iberian clock: Spanish kitchens serve lunch from about 13:30–14:00 and dinner from 20:30–21:00; Portugal eats an hour or so earlier. Early evenings are for tapas or petiscos, not full meals.
- Iberia ↗Inland Spain and Portugal (Seville, Córdoba, Madrid, the Alentejo) pass 40 °C in heatwaves from late June to August: sightsee before 11:00 and after 18:00, and keep July–August for the coasts and the green north.
- Iberia ↗Andorra and Gibraltar have their own border and customs rules and are reached only through Spain (or France for Andorra); read their pages before adding them, especially if you hold a limited Schengen visa.
- Spain ↗Spain is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- Spain ↗High-speed trains have airport-style baggage screening at the station and boarding gates that close a few minutes before departure: arrive early.
- Spain ↗Carry your passport or ID: police may ask for it, and hotels must register every guest's document.
- Spain ↗The Alhambra in Granada and the Sagrada Família in Barcelona sell timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead in season; book on the official sites before you fix your dates.

Getting around
The centre is walkable in 15–20 min end to end. Local buses (lines 3 and 8 to Ibiza Town, 19 to Santa Eulària, seasonal line 9 to the airport) leave from the bus station near the harbour. Taxis are metered; ranks sit by the harbour and the West End. Scooters and cars are the practical way to reach coves and the big clubs outside town.

Watch out
Safety
- West End bars: confirm drink prices before ordering, and watch your tab.
- Balcony falls are a real risk in party hotels; never lean over or sit on a railing.
- Late-night street selling and pickpocketing around the West End and taxi ranks.
- Some clubs outside town need advance tickets and a bus or taxi back; the return trip is the expensive part.
- Many bars and hotels close from November to March; check before booking a winter trip.
