How to get there:
Geo: 38º971043 N / 1º291309 E
Platja des Pinet is 24 kilometers from Ibiza town and 3 kilometers from Sant Antoni town. To get there you can walk from downtown along the bay. The taxi fare is a little over 30 euros if you are coming from Ibiza town. You can also reach it by motorcycle, bus, or ferry. From Sant Antoni bus station, take the bus number L2 or L6. By ferry, go to the Sant Antoni port. By car or motorcycle, drive towards Sant Antoni taking the C-731 road. Once you arrive at the Sant Antoni port, there is a central roundabout with a characteristic Egg of Columbus monument. In this roundabout, take the Sant Agustí Avenue signed as Cala de Bou. The Sant Agustí Avenue goes along the Sant Antoni bay to the southwest. Four kilometers ahead is the road signs Platja des Pinet. You can park on the side of the street or at the beach parking.
Did you know?
Sant Antoni Bay has changed dramatically over the past few decades. In the 1930s, two Ibizan entrepreneurs built the first hotels in the area: the Portmany Hotel and the Ses Savines Hotel, both of which are still operating today. A few years later, a family of German Jews fleeing exile constructed a third hotel, marking another important step in the development of tourism in the bay. Over time, many more hotels and buildings followed.
The landscape has also been radically transformed. Where the modern marina and numerous buildings now stand, there was once only the church, the three original hotels, and a handful of scattered houses. What was once a quiet fishing village has gradually evolved into one of Ibiza’s most vibrant and developed coastal areas.
What to see:
If you walk along Sant Agusti Avenue going to San Antonio Bay, you will see many shops, bars with DJs and restaurants with terraces with amazing views.
What to do:
This is Ibiza! Therefore, you have to dance at least once during your holiday. While the island is famous for electronic music, that’s not your only option. You can enjoy reggae at the Global Reggae Bar, a favorite spot among tourists, or dance to electronic beats on the beautiful terrace of the Sol House Hotel. Both venues feature DJs who keep the atmosphere lively every day.
