Sant Antoni de Portmany
Sant Antoni de Portmany is a town on the west of Ibiza with around twenty-nine thousand residents. Besides the town itself the municipality takes in inland villages: Sant Rafel, Sant Mateu and others. The town sits on a wide west-facing bay and is known for its sunsets, which draw people out towards evening.
In summer this is the loudest part of the island and in winter the emptiest: its winter score is below Ibiza town's and below the neighbouring municipalities'. In practice that means most of what works in season is shut from November to March. In exchange: the cheapest square metre on Ibiza, which by the island's standards is still expensive. The hospital is 21 minutes away, the airport 20.
- Ibiza · 15 km — the island capital, the hospital and the airport
- Sant Mateu d'Albarca · 15 km — an inland village and its vineyards
- Cala Salada · 4 km — the pine-backed cove north of town
Sant Antoni de Portmany sits in Ibiza, right on the water. From November to March the town empties out: our rating is 2 out of 5. A resort in summer, shuttered bars and thin transport in winter. 27.1% of residents are foreign nationals per the census: Spanish is not the only language you will hear on the street. The airport is 20 minutes away, closer than for most places in the database.

Sant Antoni de Portmany beaches and water quality
sourceSant Antoni de Portmany has 5 beaches tested under EU bathing water rules, at 6 sampling points. In the 2025 season, 1 of 5 were graded excellent. The last “poor” grade here was in 2006: Playa de s’Arenal.
The grade is bacteria in water samples over the last four seasons — not sand, views or crowds. “Poor” means bathing there is advised against.

| Playa Calo des Moro | 0.5 km | good | — | none since 1990 |

What tenants actually pay
sourcedThis is the median rent on active leases — tax records for 2024, a sample of 1 976 leases. It includes long-standing contracts at unchanged rents, so it sits below what is asked today: our estimate of asking rent is 1 700 € for a two-bedroom.
The point of the 75th percentile: it is closer to what is being signed now than the median. The gap between them shows how much a new tenant overpays relative to long-standing ones.

Asking prices are what long lets are advertised at today; the registry is what tenants pay on signed leases, including old ones. The gap between them is your negotiating argument.

Renting without a Spanish contract
How realistic a long lease is without a nómina — on foreign income, savings or prepayment.
- —27.1% foreign residents — income from abroad is routine for landlords here
- —A community with its own services: agencies have dealt with foreigners before
- —Prices rising 9% a year — the landlord picks, and the first filter is a nómina
- —Stock goes to tourist lets: long leases are scarce and competed for
This is our model, not a measurement: demanding a nómina is an individual landlord's practice and nobody publishes it. The rating is derived from the share of foreign residents, the presence of a community with services, price growth, seasonality of the stock and the size of the town.
