Overview
Sant Antoni de Portmany is the second largest town in Ibiza and the island's undisputed party capital. While not visually stunning—locals joke the prettiest building is the Lidl supermarket—it draws young British clubbers for access to world-famous sunset bars like Café del Mar and proximity to legendary nightclubs.
