more enjoyable than diving into the crystal-clear waters of a Mediterranean cove which conjures up one of those eternally evoked snapshots that you imagine as the perfect holiday Should you want to experience the real deal in person Sant Antoni de Portmany is blessed with many such coves tucked away the length and breadth of its coastline Sant Antoni has proposed 8 snorkelling routes for you so that you can discover all the attractions that await divers beneath the waves These routes and seascapes are at varying depths suitable for newbies and practised old hands alike we take a look at a few of these underwater trips and their attractions This sheltered corner of the Portmany coast is a hidden jewel briefly visible at the foot of a small cliff and close to the town centre It can be reached by the path leading to the Cap Blanc aquarium down a unobtrusive set of steps in the rock nearby It is a charming little place with a handful of boathouses and a little jetty that reaches out into the turquoise waters with a seabed of brilliant white sand scattered with rocks that serve as a refuge for several species The water is easily accessible and so it is ideal for family fun The rocks on the sandy bottom are home to fish like the blenny with its giant head and bulging eyes the perfectly camouflaged spotted flounder and diving a little deeper between the forest of sea grass are shoals of young fish along with adult salema porgy that feed on the leaves of this marine plant See route Two spits of rock extend out to sea here creating a protected zone to the north of the Cap Blanc aquarium before you reach Cala Gració beach without any seagoing craft to interfere with their exploring not to mention free from the pressure of fellow humans The initial depths consist of large slabs of rock covered with algae a protruding rock marks the area where the sea grass thrives lighter in summer and a deeper green in winter The depth then increases and for those who are fond of more vertical dives you will be greeted with views of vertical rock walls with a rocky seabed that is home to extremely diverse marine life and damsel fish hiding away in the cracks and crevices of the rocks See route Caló des Moro is a little bit of urban luxury as it affords the visitor all the beauty and charm of a Mediterranean beach without having to forsake the town environment It can be reached from Passeig de Ponent and faces west The seabed with its blinding white sand contrasts with the bright green of Posidonia oceanica one of nature’s marvels that is home to over a thousand species of animals and plants Access to the water is very simple and the depth can vary from one to three metres you will see a platform that slopes gently down and which is full of hollows and little craters filled with sand and frequently inhabited by sea cucumber and sea urchins If you carry on to the headland and turn towards the inlet or bay you will come to a slope that descends vertically which is when you can turn back and continue to enjoy the sight of shoals of bogue See route Cala Saladeta is the lovely archetypal Mediterranean beach With the green of the surrounding pine woods and with pristine waters and a dazzlingly white sandy seabed contrasting with the bright green of the sea grass this beach is a paean to beauty and a joy that meets the eye not to mention a pleasure for all the other senses too following the rock wall in the direction of the headland you will come upon a sandy seabed which you will cross to reach a leafy sea grass meadow There you can watch the sparkling shoals of salema porgy feeding on these marine plants More experienced divers can hold their breath and plunge several metres to the parts furthest from the rocky coastline Here you will probably spy groups of grey mullets See route This snorkelling route has to be accessed by sea which makes it a little more complicated to reach But you will be compensated by an impressive route along the coast where you can visit some hideaways that harbour a wealth of marine life and a pristine seabed The best way is to anchor in the little bay formed by Cap Negret facing the entrance to the seashore the cave of Las Palomas with its tranquil waters provides the perfect view of this amazing spot The seabed is strewn with polished white pebbles the level drops abruptly tempting the most experienced divers to breathe deep and plunge down to a depth of over 6 metres you can still enjoy the spectacular landscape with huge rocks and a razor-sharp cliff face that looks as if it has been carved out with a knife From the cave and to the right the waters are shallower and there are some large rocks that provide a refuge for octopus From the deep blue depths you will see silvery banks of little fish emerge as they dodge predators such as dentex See route This route is one that expert snorkellers will really appreciate beyond cala Salada you will reach Cap Gros and the north face of Sa Foradada The name comes from the hole in the rock wall and it makes this beautiful part of the coast extra special There you can dive down to the seabed with rocks scattered here and there smooth pebbles and great blocks of rock carpeted with brown algae The coastline consists of vertical rock walls filled with crevices and hollows that provide tremendous entertainment with shoals of white sea bream as well as scorpion fish and painted comber though it is best not to try and swim through it as it is quite narrow See route One of Sant Antoni’s most peculiar beaches with its stone terraces it is also one of the most highly recommended dives for snorkelling fans You can reach it by land but it the best way is by sea so that you can enjoy the route to the northern point of Punta Galera The little crags that are such a feature of this beach serve as a departure point for an experience that includes floating over a seabed full of pebbles and some enjoyable and amazing swims You will be able to witness how shoals of bogues while in the rocky hollows perhaps a curious octopus will be peeping out The rock walls are covered with algae and sponges and close to the shore you may find some beadlet anemone or sea tomato See route Cala Gracioneta is a charming little spot that nestles between two spits of rock close by Cala Gració beach You can take an aquatic trip that is brimming with marine life and it is a very easy route if you stay close to the coast on the right you will find a seabed of medium sized rocks home to blenny The algae that covers the rocks is Padina pavonica whitish in colour and with a layered appearance with a final ledge that opens out to a forest of seagrass and which drops to over 6 metres so as a result this part of the route is best reserved for experienced divers used to holding their breath for long periods you will see a wealth of marine life including grey mullet Along this route you will arrive at some typical boathouse huts and return to the beach close to the rock wall covered with algae where you will see white sea bream and damsel fish See route Once you arrive in Sant Antoni you will find a world of opportunities to explore with plenty of activities and amazing places waiting to be discovered but nevertheless we would like to propose five places that no one should miss out on during their visit to Ibiza or the look-out post in the Cathedral square You can walk around the perimeter of the walls that form the town’s bastion and take in the fantastic views of the modern city Outside the walls, another essential place to visit is the Necropolis Museum of Puig des Molins This is certainly the most important museum of its kind in terms of Phoenician and Carthaginian culture The museum building is set in the Phoenician necropolis on the fringes of the original settlement (dating from the 7th century) and it is possible to visit a number of hypogea excavated in the rock More than 3,000 tombs occupied the hill where the necropolis lies It is an experience that is unquestionably as educational as it is spectacular and a visit will transport you back in time to the origins of today’s Ibiza a town that prospered and grew wealthy through its busy maritime trade However, a chapter on fantastic beaches would not be complete without a mention of Platges de Comte and Cala Bassa Both places can be reached by sea from the port of Sant Antoni and are equally blessed with clear transparent waters and beautiful natural surroundings Platges de Comte combines stretches of sandy beach with little coves nestling among sandy rocks moulded and formed into intriguing shapes by the wind with the group of islands and neighbouring islets as backdrop are one of the most memorable sights in Ibiza Cala Bassa

revelers sun-baking during the day then dancing until sunrise to thumping bass And while there’s nothing wrong with this portrayal it’d be like visiting Paris just to eat a croissant or New York just to ride to the top of the Empire State Building — both worthwhile experiences but you’d be missing out on much of what gives each city its soul the Balearic island offers much more than just its sparkling turquoise waters and headliner DJ sets It’s a chance to reconnect with nature while driving through the rolling green hills of Sant Josep; indulge in a perfectly grilled freshly-caught branzino in a family-owned restaurant in Cap Martinet; and reset your heart and soul as you watch the sun melt into a cotton candy-pink horizon TZR shares the local’s travel guide to the best places

pulls out an electric cello throughout the night) while candlelight flickers off of exposed stone walls and sky-high ceilings you’ll find an assortment of fresh seafood and meat from Basque-style turbot to suckling lamb shoulder (a can’t miss) in Sa Capella’s open air kitchen Word of advice: don’t skip out on the clams in green sauce then wash it all down with a crisp glass of Malvasia It’s the perfect dinner destination to take someone you’re trying to impress — or Contrary to what its sister club in Paris might imply there will be no napkin-waving and dancing on tables at Arnaud Frisch and Antoine Cato’s El Silencio Ibiza — and that’s exactly what makes it special But just because the decibel levels of the music aren’t deafening doesn’t mean it’s lacking in atmosphere The lunchtime crowd here can best be described as effortlessly chic the food by chef Mauro Colagreco is top tier and the sparkling waters of Cala Molí view provide a breathtaking backdrop to it all Start your meal with the foccacia with aioli (it’s so good and don’t miss the branzino for two — it’s one of the best on an island there’s only one right option: the churros you’ll feel like you’re nibbling on clouds
