Loaded Holiday guide to Ibiza

San Antonio, Ibiza, is the ultimate playground for sun-seekers and (if you’ve got it in you) party animals alike. This buzzing hotspot on the island’s west coast is where the magic happens. From legendary sunsets at Café del Mar and Mambo to all-night mayhem in its banging clubs and bars. By day, it’s all about topping up your tan on golden beaches or diving into water sports, but come sundown, the Sunset Strip steals the show with beats, booze, and views that’ll blow your mind. Whether you're chasing thrills, chill vibes, or just a killer night out, San Antonio’s got it all.

Rooftop Nine

360-degree views at sunset that’ll knock your socks off—if you manage to stay sober until then. The drinks? Surprisingly easy on the wallet for a spot this fancy.
