Luxury Villa Rentals in San Antonio
Sea-view villas above the sunset coast, and country fincas among the almond groves of north-west Ibiza
As featured in
Ibiza's west coast, where the evenings are spent facing the sun
Mention San Antonio to most Britons and they picture a certain kind of holiday. That picture covers a few streets. The rest of the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany is something else entirely: a broad bay facing west, pine-backed coves with clear water, and behind them a quiet farming country of almond groves, vineyards and red earth that runs up to Santa Agnès and Sant Mateu.
Our San Antonio collection runs to 60+ villas, from contemporary houses on the hills above the bay, built for the view and the sunset, to whitewashed country estates around Sant Rafel. Almost all have private pools, and many look out to sea.
Here is how to choose your corner of it, and when to come.

The hills above the bay for sea views and sunsets, Cala Salada and Cala Gració for the coves, Sant Rafel for country estates close to Ibiza Town, and Santa Agnès and Sant Mateu for the quiet north-west.
Pine, clear water and the island of Conillera
The town sits at the head of a deep natural harbour, the Portus Magnus of the Romans, with the island of Sa Conillera guarding the mouth of the bay. Villas on the slopes above look straight out over it, which is the whole point: on this coast the day ends with the sun dropping into the sea.
North of town, Cala Gració and its little neighbour Cala Gracioneta are sheltered and shallow, good for children. Further on, Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta lie at the foot of a steep, pine-covered road. Car access is restricted in high summer, so an early start or a boat is the civilised answer. In the other direction, small boats cross the bay from the harbour to Cala Bassa and Cala Comte.

Almond groves, vineyards and old churches
Drive ten minutes inland and Ibiza's farming past is still very much present. Sant Mateu d'Albarca sits in a fertile valley of vines and citrus, and its whitewashed church dates from the late eighteenth century. Neighbouring Santa Agnès de Corona is known across the island for its almond blossom, which turns the valley white in late January and February, and for the cliff walks above the north-west coast.
Sant Rafel, on the road to Ibiza Town, has ceramic workshops and a church terrace with a fine view across to Dalt Vila. The country estates here put the beaches of the west and the restaurants of the capital within equally easy reach.

A harbour town with a patron saint
Away from the bars, Sant Antoni is a working harbour town with a fortified parish church, a palm-lined promenade along the Passeig de ses Fonts and a marina full of fishing boats and day cruisers. The cave aquarium at Cap Blanc, near Cala Gració, is a reliable success with children.
The town's big day is Sant Bartomeu on 24 August, when weeks of concerts, sport and a mock battle of Carthaginians and Romans end with a fireworks display over the bay. Watching it from a terrace on the hillside is one of the better reasons to come in August.

Bullit de peix, vi pagès and a long autumn
The island's cooking is robust and rural: bullit de peix, a fish stew followed by rice cooked in the broth, sofrit pagès with meat and sausage, and flaó, a mint-scented cheesecake. Sant Mateu's country wine, red and rustic, is celebrated each year with a festival in the village square as winter approaches.
The sea is warm from June to October, and September is perhaps the best month of all. Spring brings wild flowers and empty footpaths, and late winter belongs to the almond blossom. Our concierge can book boats, sunset tables and transfers, and suggest which coves to reach before the crowds.

The right house, not the nearest one
San Antonio covers both a lively town and some of Ibiza's quietest countryside, and we know which villas catch the sunset, which are close to a cove and which are well clear of the nightlife. With 60+ properties in San Antonio, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Boat days to Cala Bassa and the west coast, sunset restaurant reservations, a private chef, nannies, car hire and transfers from Ibiza airport. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in San Antonio?
The hills above the bay give the best sea and sunset views. Cala Salada and Cala Gració suit those who want the coves on the doorstep, while Sant Rafel, Santa Agnès and Sant Mateu offer quiet countryside, with Sant Rafel the closest to Ibiza Town.
Is San Antonio suitable for a family villa holiday?
Yes, once you look beyond the town centre. Most of our villas are on the hillsides or in the countryside, well away from the nightlife, and sheltered coves such as Cala Gració are good for children.
How far is San Antonio from Ibiza airport?
Ibiza airport is around half an hour away by road, depending on traffic and where your villa is. Our concierge can arrange private transfers and car hire.
Can you arrange a private chef at a villa in San Antonio?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.

Across our 60+ villas in San Antonio, weekly rates typically range from £4,500 to £15,500, with the most affordable from around £2,500 a week and the largest estates well above.

These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
