The main city of the island is Ibiza, on the south of the island. The other two major cities are Santa Eulària des Riu (further east) and Sant Antoni de Portmany (on the west coast, and therefore known for its sunsets). A cruise around the island generally includes a stop in Santa Eulalia, a tour of the rugged North Coast, and a stop off in Sant Antoni (often referred to as San Antonio) and of course a stop in the Old Port of Ibiza.
Santa Eulària
Santa Eulària des Riu offers beauty, serenity, light and tradition. The key sights in the town are the Puid de Missa, declared a site of scenic beauty by the Ministry of Culture in 1952. The church, built in the 16th century as part of the island’s defences, was a centrepiece for the construction of the first houses in the town in the following century.
There are plenty of churches to explore including Mare de Deu de Jesus, Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, and Charles de Peralta. There is also a 400+ meter aqueduct, built in the first century AD. There are several beautiful beaches near Santa Eulària that offer great sand, beautiful views and clean waters. Nudism is practised on most beaches.
Sant Antoni (San Antonio)
San Antonio is famous for its sunsets and lively nightlife. The port will often have scores of Ibiza charter boats and luxury yachts anchored, adding to the festivities and exciting vibe of the white island.
The square of San Antonio boasts a wide selection of restaurants and cafes offering a view over the bay. It is also the best place from which to watch the large Fireworks Display which celebrates the fiesta of Saint Bartholomew on the 24 August.
The 'West End' is where all the nightlife in Sant Antoni is centred. The main street is the Carrer de Santa Agnès, which hosts a variety of bars and small clubs ranging from the Dance and House music Ibiza is famed for, to Rock and Indie music. Popular bars include Viva, Hush, Koppas, Tropicana, Soul City, Funky Flares, Ground Zero and The Huddle Bar.
Formentera

The island is just south of Ibiza and a popular destination for day charters who go there to bathe, relax in the sun, and have a lunch at one of the beach restaurants - the most famous being Juan Y Andrea. The island is 19 kilometres long and is located approximately 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Ibiza.
