Ibiza San Antonio Ferries

Sorry, there is currently no available ferries on this route.

Most visitors arrive at Ibiza Airport, located about 20 minutes from San Antonio by taxi or bus. Regular ferry services connect the mainland cities of Barcelona, Valencia, and Denia to Ibiza, with journey times ranging from 2-5 hours depending on the vessel type. Once on the island, San Antonio is easily accessible via regular bus services from Ibiza Town, or by taxi in about 20 minutes. If driving to the ferry terminal, ample parking is available nearby, though spaces fill quickly during summer months. Consider pre-booking parking during peak season or using the park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts of town.

San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) sits on Ibiza's western coast, offering a perfect blend of Mediterranean charm and legendary nightlife. This bustling port town combines stunning sunsets at Café del Mar with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. As one of Ibiza's key ferry entry points, San Antonio serves as an ideal base for exploring the White Isle's natural beauty, hidden coves, and world-famous entertainment scene.

San Antonio enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The prime tourist season runs from May through October, with July and August bringing the hottest temperatures, largest crowds, and most vibrant nightlife scene. June and September offer the perfect balance of warm weather and slightly fewer tourists, making them ideal months for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere. Winter visitors (November to April) will find a quieter, more authentic side of San Antonio with comfortable temperatures around 15-20°C. Ferry services operate year-round but increase in frequency during summer months, with more routes and departure options available.

San Antonio serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the Balearic Islands. Formentera, Ibiza's smaller sister island, is accessible by a 30-minute ferry to Ibiza Town followed by a 30-minute crossing, rewarding visitors with pristine beaches and turquoise waters. The nearby coves of Cala Conta and Cala Bassa can be reached by water taxi services departing regularly from San Antonio harbor during summer months, offering stunning beaches without the need for a car. For the adventurous, day trips to Mallorca are possible via high-speed ferries, though you'll need to connect through Ibiza Town. The western coastline of Ibiza itself features numerous hidden coves accessible only by boat tours that depart daily from San Antonio marina.

The world-famous Sunset Strip offers unparalleled views of the Mediterranean sunset, with iconic venues like Café del Mar and Mambo providing the perfect soundtrack. Water enthusiasts can enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, and boat excursions from the harbor, while the nearby beaches of Cala Gracioneta and S'Arenal offer contrasting vibes from family-friendly to energetic. The West End district pulses with bars and clubs, but don't miss the more authentic Spanish experience in the town square, where locals gather at traditional tapas bars. Sample fresh seafood paella at the waterfront restaurants, or venture to the nearby village of San Rafael, known for its pottery and authentic Ibicenco cuisine. For a cultural experience, the Church of San Antonio, dating back to the 14th century, provides a peaceful contrast to the town's livelier elements.

Before becoming a global party destination, San Antonio was a quiet fishing village, and some local families still maintain traditional fishing practices visible in the early morning hours at the harbor. The area's famous egg monument (Huevo de Colón) celebrates a local legend that Christopher Columbus was actually born in Ibiza, not Italy or Spain as commonly believed. The crystal-clear waters surrounding San Antonio harbor are home to Neptune grass meadows, an ancient seagrass that's among the oldest living organisms on Earth at up to 100,000 years old. The town's original Catalan name, Sant Antoni de Portmany, references its history as a port used for shipping local wine ("vi de manya") during Roman times.
