Hotels in San Antonio

San Antonio Bay is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful resorts on the island and is a popular destination for many travellers when booking Ibiza holidays. You’ll find it just south of the clubbers’ paradise that is San Antonio Town.

However, San Antonio Bay holidays are much quieter than other parts of the island; although access to the club scene is easy enough, if you want it. The resort tends to attract families and couples, looking to spend some quality downtime together away from the crowds and parties. Head down to the crescent-shaped beach and, towards the harbour, you’ll find an array of water sports on offer, from water-skiing, to splashing about on a banana boat!

If you want some seclusion, there are five beaches within walking distance of San Antonio’s golden sands. Cala Gracio is one of the best, with a gently-shelving shoreline, making it ideal for little ones who want to have a splash about in safe water. The focus is really on families and you’ll find child-friendly attractions, such as outdoor playground Acrobosc, within easy reach. 

Things to do

With five stunning beaches to choose from, you can choose to top up your tan in peace and quiet, or throw yourself into a variety of exciting water sports on offer at San Antonio harbour. Each beach has its own distinct character, but they all have in common golden sands, crystal-clear waters and shady palm trees.

For shoppers, the harbour market is a treasure trove of trinkets and handmade goods. If you’re travelling with the family, spend a day on the rides, slides, flumes, and pools at the Aguamar Water Park. Romantic couples can enjoy a quiet wander on the waterfront to watch the sun go down or, if you’re feeling lively, get into the groove at one of the clubs in San Antonio Town.

The ideal location

Its position on Ibiza’s west coast has a lot of benefits that make it such a popular spot with all different types of holidaymakers. It’s a beach lover’s paradise, which is perfect for soaking up the warm Ibiza sun throughout the day and then watching the superb sunsets as evening falls. But if you’re after something a bit more upbeat, you have vibrant bars and clubs of San Antonio within easy walking distance. However, if you’re wanting to find out more about the island’s history and culture, Ibiza Town is just a short drive away in the opposite direction.

Excellent beaches

You may not realise it, but San Antonio Bay is actually made up of a number of different beaches and coves, each of them offering something unique and wonderful to all who visit their shores. Es Puet is perfect for paddling and fishing, S’Estanyol is great for water sports and barbecues and Port des Torrent is the place to be for snorkelling – to name but a few. Which will be your favourite?

Eating and drinking

A leisurely stroll along the picturesque promenade lining the bay will see you being spoilt for choice when it comes to finding somewhere to stop for food and drink. There are countless appealing bars, cafés and restaurants, all providing exceptional views across the bay. Take your pick from all the mouth-watering menus that are put out to tempt you and be sure to have found the best seat in time for sunset.

Alcudia holidays have got everything you could possibly need for a fun-filled getaway in the sun. Located on the north coast of Majorca, it’s a popular resort with plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy and a beautiful white-sand beach with a Blue Flag status. You can spend your days relaxing here, or making a splash at the action-packed Hidropark waterpark. But no holiday to Alcudia would be complete without exploring the bustling markets and ancient sites of its charming Old Town.

Things to do

Whether you’re soaking up the sun along toe-sinking sands while getting lost in a good book, or trying your hand at one of the many different watersports available, you’ll never be short of things to do. Or, stick with the water theme, if you’ve got the kids with you spend a day racing down the slides at Alcudia Waterpark or visiting Palma Aquarium.

Take time out to explore the medieval Old Town and discover all its timeless treasures, making sure to browse the local stalls and try the popular sobrasada spicy sausage. In the evenings, enjoy the buzz that builds around the marina as the bars and restaurants fill up, serving cocktails with sweeping sea vistas. 

Beautiful coast

Alcudia’s beach is incredibly long, stretching around an idyllic bay all the way to the resort of Ca’n Picafort. The calm, shallow water is perfect for families, while the peaceful area at Playa De Muro is made for quieter holidays to Alcudia. It’s here that you’ll find the piled-up sand dunes and salt water lagoons of S’Albufera Nature Reserve, which is a lovely place to go for a walk or sit and watch the birds.

History and culture

There’s lots of history in this part of Majorca, even right inside Alcudia. The walled Old Town dates back to the 14th century and it can feel like you’re walking back in time when you wander among the ancient churches and houses in its winding streets. There are also Roman ruins here, including a theatre and the remains of a town called Pollentia.

You’ll also find lots of heritage in Alcudia’s menus, from the traditional eateries in the atmospheric Old Town to the seafood restaurants along the marina in Puerto de Alcudia, serving local specialities, such as sea bass cooked in rock salt. 

Fun days out

You don’t have to look hard to find ways to spend your time during your holiday to Alcudia. Just outside the resort is Hidropark, jam-packed with wet and wild adventures. Do you dare take on its kamikaze slide, or is the wave pool more your scene? And there’s also a variety of boat trips available from Puerto de Alcudia, sailing along the northern coast of Majorca. You’ll stop at mysterious caves for a spot of snorkelling, kayak the Med and sunbathe on deck. Cycling is another must in this scenic hotspot when you want to venture off the beaten track into the countryside.

There’s so much more to this Balearic Island beauty than just its party reputation. From its beautiful beaches overflowing with watersports to its laid-back charm and thrill-seeking waterparks. Whether you’re after sun-soaked days lazed by the pool or neon nights, Magaluf holidays should be on your radar.

If you’re heading to Magaluf for its drinking scene, then Punta Ballena, AKA Magaluf Strip, is the place to be. It’s one of Majorca’s clubbing hotspots with big-name venues such as Tokio Joes and Boomerang providing early hour partying. And picking up an MCP (Magaluf Club Pass) will see you hopping from one bar to the next with unlimited access to the best clubs. 

Things to do

Holidays to Magaluf start with a cocktail in hand while soaking up the Spanish sun, especially if you’re lapping up luxury at Nikki Beach Club. When you’re not dancing to the DJ’s laid-back beats, sink your toes into one of its idyllic sand spots, before taking a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Med. Or if you’re feeling brave, ride the waves via banana boat - will you be the last one standing? And if you’ve got the kids in tow, days are best spent digging for treasure or hiring a pedalo kitted out with a slide!  

When you need a change of pace, Western Waterpark is less than five minutes away. Here daredevils can plunge down vertical slides while your mini holidaymakers head straight for the splash zones and tipping buckets. As for adults, there’s no better way to nurse a hangover than lounging around a lazy river. When dusk falls, pre-drinks are whipped up at Icon Bar. Here fruity concoctions pack a punch, and ice-cold beers are served with awe-inspiring sea views. And why stop there when music-pumping clubs such as Bananas and Carwash are calling.

Famous nightlife

Revellers, welcome to one of the best party destinations in the Mediterranean. Think themed events, karaoke bellowing from bars, foam fiestas and VIP nights at the best clubs in Magaluf - you’re in for the time of your life. There’s even a drinking spot dedicated to the American box office hit ‘Coyote Ugly’ when you fancy a dance on the bar! And that’s just its after-dark scene. Your days are just as impressive, with Daiquiri Palace cooling you down with its 20 different flavoured slush cocktails. That’s before you head on Magaluf’s famous sunset booze cruise. 

Great beaches

After all that late-night fun, you’ll be looking for somewhere relaxing to recover. Luckily for you, Magaluf is blessed with a stunning stretch of coastline featuring soft, white sand and swaying palm trees. You can pick the perfect spot on the beach and dose up on vitamin D while catching some much-needed Z’s. Or try any of the great watersports available to you, such as jet skis and paragliding.

Not to mention its calm, shallow Mediterranean waters are a magnet for families. And with a promenade bursting with buckets and spades, as well as inflatables and ice cream shacks, your mini holidaymakers are set for endless splash-filled fun. 

Lots to do

Aside from the beach and the nightlife, you’ll find plenty of other exciting ways to fill your time in Magaluf. From the acrobatic Pirates Adventure Dinner Show to Balinese beds and infinity pool dips at the Wave House and scuba diving adventures in the Med. But for heart-pumping fun, the fast-paced slides at Katmandu Park won’t let you down. Throw in some interactive experiences and a lazy river, and you’re looking at an action-packed day in the sun.
