Casa Soleada’s special location, just a few hundred metres from Cala Conta sunset beach is wonderful. Cala Conta has two main coves, one backed by a rugged, rocky coastline and the other by picturesque sand dunes. There are several buzzy bars and restaurants. Cala Contita is Cala Conta’s little sister beach. Just south of the beach is the famous, mythical ‘Rave Cave’, home to the Ibiza Rave in a Cave party. It is also famous for yoga sessions. On the hill above Cala Codolar, 3km from Cala Conta, is Ibiza-Henge, a monument with 13 huge Basalt columns arranged in a semi-circle which vaguely resembles Stonehenge.
San Antonio is just 15 minutes from the villa. It is a lively resort set in a beautiful open bay. The sunset cafes, bars and clubs are legendary. There are many boat excursions from the resort, boat parties and watersports. There are several superclubs, Es Paradis and Eden, for the clubbers and a pool party venue, Ibiza Rocks Hotel.
The rocky island of Es Vedra stands 400m high, 2km off the coast opposite the beach of Cala d’Hort. It is shrouded in myths and legends, the most popular being that is it the third most magnetic spot on earth. Many believe that the island is possessed of positive healing and creatively-inspiring energy.
Ibiza Town is incredibly diverse. The highest area is the World Heritage-listed Dalt Vila. It is very picturesque with centuries-old mansions, steep, atmospheric cobbled streets, jasmine draped balconies and a majestic Gothic cathedral. The buzzing nightlife is legendary. The Marina Botafoch is very trendy with chic bars and restaurants and gorgeous boutiques. The Pacha nightclub is world-famous and attracts the best DJ’s. There are also some amazing art galleries and history museums.
San Jose is a charming village in the foothills of Sa Talaia, the highest mountain on the island. There is a lovely Saturday morning market where around 20 stalls offer local and organic produce including fruit, vegetables, home-made bread and pastries. There are also artists selling paintings, ceramics and sculptures. The restaurants and bars are outstanding.
San Agustin is also worth a visit. It is one of the prettiest and best-preserved villages on Ibiza, halfway between San Antonio and San Jose. You can visit the stone tower, the parish house and the church which was first blessed in 1806. From the church square, you will admire the fantastic, panoramic view of the impressive San Jose hills and open countryside.
