Villa Raven

On the main road between San Antonio and Ibiza Town, San Rafael is small but full of character. The village is the sole artisan area for craftsmanship on the entire island, due to its traditional pottery workshops. One workshop, in particular, makes items that are made in the same way as they were thousands of years ago. Also of interest here is the pretty, whitewashed church that dates back to the 18th century. Set upon a hill, you can enjoy fantastic views over Ibiza Town and its harbour. There’s a good selection of restaurants for leisurely lunches or dinners out.

Ibiza Town is around a 15-minute drive from the villa and is the biggest city on the island. Combining a fascinating mix of the old and the new, it’s a great place to spend a day out with the family. Then make your way up to the old hilltop town with its cobbled streets and a central square with galleries, bars and restaurants. Stroll round ancient buildings and then explore the port area to get a feel for how the town has evolved and expanded over the centuries. The more modern area of Ibiza Town is lively and full of shopping opportunities and elegant eateries.
