San Juan
You can get a taste of the laid-back Ibizan lifestyle in this delightful, rural village. A hippy culture still remains here, and the area is still popular with intellectuals, musicians and farmers alike who gather in one of the last remaining authentic towns of Ibiza. San Juan boasts old and new style bars and cafes in the centre of the village, with its traditional church at the heart. You'll find the coast within easy reach, and the attractive resort of Portinatx with its two sandy beaches, ideal for families, is just a short drive from San Juan. Portinatx also has a little port and sheltered waters for all kinds of watersports, plus quieter coves to explore nearby.
