The Low Down
San Antonio began life as a charming fishing village on the shores of Ibiza’s largest natural bay, where fresh seafood and golden sunsets are a daily ritual. It became hugely popular with tourists in the 1970s and has since grown to become one of the island’s premier holiday resorts, boasting a watersports marina and hosting world-famous nightlife.
The quality of hotels in and around San Antonio increases every year. As well as top-notch rooms and facilities, many of them now offer specially curated entertainment, some very contemporary artistic touches, amazing health and wellness amenities and outstanding cuisine. Prepare to be wowed!
We have updated our guide to help you find your ideal place to stay. Here are our suggestions for the best accommodation the town has to offer.

OKU Ibiza
Also close to Cala Gracio, the superbly appointed OKU Ibiza is a bohemian minimalist marvel, with a laid-back vibe for those who want to truly luxuriate in the Ibiza lifestyle.

Hotel Palmyra
A top-quality beachfront, adults-only hotel in the very centre of town, Palmyra by the Palladium Group is a great choice for those who want to tumble out of bed and straight onto S’Arenal beach.

Ensconced on a hillside outside San Antonio, this adults-only hotel is ideal for couples or groups who wish to luxuriate in a legendary freedom-lovers hideaway. Many of Pikes’ rooms have been given a modern refresh and the poolside and Freddy’s (its notorious discotheque) are where lifetime memories are made.
MID-RANGE
You'll find an abundance of choices in the mid-price range
