Sant Josep travel information and video

Sant Josep

Sant Josep, or San Jose, is a charming village situated slightly inland set on the Sa Talaia, Ibiza's tallest mountain, in the municipality of the same name.

Sant Josep is a genuinely delightful place, which although has grown in popularity in recent year, has lost absolutely none of its traditional charm and friendly, local atmosphere.

About town
The pretty whitewashed village is far removed from the world famous party scene hot spots that Ibiza is famous for.

Sant Josep has an easygoing and friendly atmosphere. There are some wonderful bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a relaxed and delicious meal and soak up the charming local character of the town.

The church dominates the skyline of the village, although the views to the coast and the rest of the municipality of Sant Josep are beautiful.

Sant Josep is great for shoppers too; you can find all sorts of products, from local handmade goods, fashion, antiques and children’s toys.

Places to visit
Sant Josep is the largest municipality in Ibiza and as such has a few interesting places and attractions worth a visit.

The 80 kilometre long coastline is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and coves on the island, including Vavallet, Ses Salines, Porrogi, sa Caleta and Cala Jondal, Platges de Comte and Cala Corral.

Nature and outdoor pursuits lovers can head to the stunning Ses Salines Natural Park or d’es Vedra, es Vedranell and Islotes de Poniente natural reserves. 

Sa Talaia, the highest hill and woodland on the island at 475 metres above sea level, is located in the centre of the municipality and offers one of the best views in the island.

Eating out
Sant Josep is a great village for dining out. There are some wonderful restaurants serving traditional Ibicencan cuisine, tapas and seafood. You can enjoy a delicious meal tucked away in a secluded tiny restaurant, or eat out on the village square and watch the world go by.

Climate
The summer season in Ibiza generally starts in the month of May and stays on average within the late 20ºc, early 30ºC right through until September. There is very little rain until November, but the winter does stay generally mild also; with some rainfall and chilly days from November to April.
