Situated to the west of the island of Ibiza, the town of
Sant Antoni de Portmany owes its name, on the one hand,
to the patron saint of animals and, on the other to its
magnificent bay. Indeed, Portmany comes from the latin Portus
Magnus, or what is the same: Puerto Magno. We are talking
of one of its greatest scenic attractions, one that has
made it famous and turned it into one of the most important
tourist spots on the mediterranean.
Gone is that little fishing village, with its low, white
houses, splashed by the sea. What used to be an island people
living from the sea and the land is now a population of
mixed cultures where the good and the best of that Ibiza
still survive: live and let live!
From sunrise to sunset, San Antonio offers a variety of
exciting options: shopping, restaurants, visits to places
of its local heritage, excursions by sea or by land to its
beautiful coves or simply strolling round its streets and
relaxing at its side-walk cafés -all this becomes
an unforgettable experience. All you have to do is feel
like it: the light, the sea and the people will do the rest.
