Beyond the noise and glamour
Besides Ibiza town San Antonio is where people love to go on road trips. It’s just a short drive from Ibiza City towards the east. The highway is always busy so taking the coastal road is a better idea as it offers you some spectacular scenery. The peaceful atmosphere is all pervading as you pass through the low hills, interspersed with olive groves and numerous beaches. While there you can also visit Cafe del Mar to see the magical sunset. You could also stay in an isolated beach resort and enjoy the trip through pine forests to the small and isolated beaches before reaching your resort.

Chauffeurs in the vehicles make good guides and can take you to see the monuments worth seeing like the fortified walls at Dalt Vila and the cathedral of Santa Maria d’Eivissa. The Necropolis of Puig des Molins, the ancient burial site and the tombs are astounding and the museum shows Phoenician artefacts. The quarry site known as Atlantis imbues its own kind of magic with its unique scenery. Perhaps you could catch a glimpse of some mermaids as did Homer! The sunset with views to Es Vedra, is something that you must-see.
