- 1In Sant Antoni de Portmany, sunset at Cafe del Mar or Hostal La Torre, the Sa Talaia summit trail (475 m, highest peak on Ibiza), off-season Cala Bassa and Cala Conta clifftop walks, and Es Vedrà boat excursions from the Port Deportiu are within reach of every hotel on this list, good for morning and evening outings.
- 2Sant Antoni de Portmany is the 28,000-resident western capital of Ibiza, world-famous for the Sunset Strip clifftop bars and the Cafe del Mar mixtape tradition since 1980, the 14th-century Església de Sant Antoni de Portmany (the oldest church on Ibiza), Hostal La Torre and Punta Galera for quieter sunsets, and the Baleària fast ferry to Dénia from the Port Deportiu Marina, pets are a normal part of street life, café terraces, and local shops.
- 3Hotels selected for this guide are specifically in the Passeig Marítim and Port Deportiu Marina, the old-town square around the Església de Sant Antoni, the Sunset Strip from Cafe del Mar to Cap Negret, and the west-coast coves of Cala Bassa, Cala Conta, Cala Tarida and Cala Salada, where pet infrastructure is densest and local restaurants routinely provide water bowls and terrace access.
Best season: spring & autumn
