As the world’s number one clubbing capital, Ibiza offers a unique dance culture and heritage that has evolved over several decades.
Despite its reputation as an expensive destination, Ibiza’s renowned nightlife and club scene make it the ultimate holiday spot for those seeking an unparalleled clubbing experience.
However, the party scene is just a small part of what the island has to offer.
Beyond the vibrant nightlife, Ibiza also provides scenic, relaxing retreats for those looking to unwind. Ibiza’s gorgeous coastline is home to many quieter holiday resorts, demonstrating that there’s so much more to this island than all-night parties.
One such location is Portinatx, a small village in the North of Ibiza, which offers tranquil unspoiled landscapes, pleasant weather, and three beautiful beaches.
Only a mere 40-minute drive from Ibiza Town and its world-famous clubs by car, this village is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Ibiza.
Located on the stunning northeast tip of the island, Portinatx is a favourite for families and couples seeking a peaceful holiday.
The compact and pretty resort is surrounded by glittering turquoise waters and pine tree-covered cliffs, which you can also climb for wonderful views out across the Mediterranean.
The village is also blessed with three gold sandy beaches, all of which have shallow waters, making them ideal for children. These include Arenal Petit, Arenal Gros and Playa Porto.
Arenal Petit, the first cove in Portinatx, is barely 60 metres long and features a beautiful beachfront promenade connecting it to the main beach.
The beach boasts an impressive range of services for beachgoers, such as parasols, sun beds, and paddle boats for rent, as well as beachfront chiringuito bars.
Visitors can also try their hands at certain water sports like stand-up paddle boarding and diving.
While this resort is away from the buzzing nightlife in Ibiza Town, it still has an active nightlife for those who want to get their “party groove” on. Local music bars and small clubs provide entertainment and are also very accommodating to children.
If you are seeking a holiday destination that offers a respite from the crowds and club scene, Portinatx is definitely a delightful village worth exploring.
