Which Side of Ibiza is Best? A Party Hard Guide

So the first thing that you might want to know is the location of each resort and a little bit of background about them. San Antonio, the larger of the two resorts is located on the West Coast of the island and is also a full-on town that’s existed since Roman times! San Antonio tends to be more popular with younger guests from the UK, Ireland and other parts of Europe looking to fill up every evening moving through the gigantic selection of bars and clubs on offer. Playa d’en Bossa is on the opposite side of the island and is a little bit smaller, being purpose built as a resort. It tends to have a little bit more of an international crowd and there’s not quite as many bars on offer, instead playing host to luxurious beach clubs and some of the island’s biggest megaclubs like Hi. To make up for its smaller size though, Playa d’en Bossa is located right next to Ibiza town which has loads to do for those looking to take a day or two out from partying and see some of the beautiful sights and culture that the island has on offer.

Playa d’en Bossa is the home of the biggest single beach on the whole island! It’s over 2km long and borders on beautiful crystal blue waters. The sands are lined by bars and beach lounges with something for everyone no matter what your budget or what vibe you’re after. San Antonio still matches the usual pattern even in terms of its beaches, with a handful of smaller beaches scattered around rather than one huge one. Once again you’ll get a lot of variety with some being quieter and others more lively.

Both the resorts have an amazing selection of clubs and bars- it’s the same deal as with hotels where San Antonio has a bit more selection whereas San Antonio is catering to a bit more of a boujee vibe.

Playa d’en Bossa is home to some of Ibiza’s most iconic clubs, including the homes of daytime clubbing, Ushuaia Beach Club where you can hang out by the pool, cocktail in hand with some of the world’s best DJs spinning top selections, and Hï Ibiza which is just across the street. When it comes to bars, Playa also has a few heaters including Dunes and DC-10- both of these have a lively atmosphere which is perfect to get you hyped up for the club. Once again you also have the option to head into the town of Ibiza proper and find one of the many more chilled out spots if you’re looking for a more relaxed environment.

San Antonio might leave you feeling a bit spoiled for choice when it comes to figuring out your evening plans as there really is a crazy number of places to drink and dance here! Bar-wise there are loads, but some of our favourites are Soul City which always has a good selection of R&B and hip-hop music, and Blackbeard’s which is a British-style pub that’s always busy and when you see the drink prices you’ll understand why! Now, over to the clubs- by now you’ll know that there’s loads including some of the island’s biggest clubs which you may have already heard of, for example Amnesia and Pacha, which are must-do’s for anyone in the area.
