Ibiza Town, otherwise known as Eivissa is the smallest of the five municipalities on the island and is located on the south east coast, bordering Sant Antoni de Portmany, Santa Eulalia and Sant Josep de Talia. The Capital City occupies 11.14 km2 with an estimated population of 49,727 of the total island population of 147,914.
The municipality of Ibiza Town is divided into two main parts, ‘The Old Town’ called Dalt Vila (literally meaning upper part), which is located at the top of a small mountain overlooking the sea, and the modern extension, Eixample (literally meaning extension). For local Ibicencans the city is often referred to as Vila d’Eivissa or more simply Vila (meaning town).
The area of Dalt Vila (The Old Town) is listed as a World Heritage Site and boasts of beautiful historical architecture, monumental castle grounds and a central Roman Catholic Cathedral, known as Santa Maria d’Eivissa. The Old Town offers winding cobbled streets with a multitude of cultural spots for tourism with bars, restaurants and boutique shops, as well as some beautifully renovated housing and little pockets of aged authentic homes, which have evidently belonged to Ibizan families for many generations.
Ibiza Town (extension) hosts a beautiful main square known as Vara de Rey, a harbour-front promenade, authentic whitewashed buildings and cobbled streets with a variety of retail stores, restaurants, cafes and bars, all attracting a cultural mix of both residents and tourism. A more modernised high street sits slightly further a field leading along from the Port, which offers those more well known European stores, banks, pharmacies, food markets, homeware stores and everything you need for everyday modern living.
The streets are almost always bustling and vibrant with the majority of retail and food outlets open most of the year round. Come summer, when the tourists officially arrive, the city takes on a new dynamic and enjoyable atmosphere of its own. The area’s nightlife comes alive with clubbers, celebrities, high profile clients, yacht enthusiasts and fashion influencers from all over the globe.
Just a few moments drive away sits the VIP area of Marina Botafoch where an array of super motor boats, yachts and an incredibly affluent front row set of luxury apartments and penthouses reside.
Additionally, Ibiza Town has two main beaches known as Talamanca and Figueretas. Both are beautiful and incredibly popular spots, both with regular tourism, offering a wide variety of local and luxury hotels plus many villa rentals villas, as well as drawing local residents all year round.
Between the cities Mediteranean history, ancient architecture, seafront scenery, beaches and cosmopolitan nightlife (including some of the islands most famous nightclubs), Eivissa is one versatile place to live.
Buying a property in Ibiza Town offers many opportunities for families, lifestyle holiday home buyers, young and retired couples, singles, buy to rent clients and those looking for high profile and secure grounds properties.

Located in the Puig des Molins, close to Dalt Vila this was the Ibiza town cemetery back in the old times and it is now the largest and best preserved necropolis in the world.
It is situated in the same place where the city is located since its foundation by Phoenicians at the end of the 7th century B.C. As usual, in the Phoenician cities the space of the living and that of the dead were close. Its name derives from the windmills that dominated its summit since at least the fifteenth century.
At some point in time the land was used for agricultural use, the hillside was divided into terraces where olive, almond, carob and fig trees were planted, together with the windmills.
Currently, the hillside is part of the Archaeological Museum of Eivissa and Formentera. The mountain is covered by a thick layer of shrubby vegetation and it is estimated that only by counting the Punic period tombs, the hypogea, there are about 3,000. Of all the maze of graves, only 340 are visible from the outside. Most of them belong to the Punic era and are excavated in the rock, although only the so-called mule hypogea are visited, which were found by chance in the year 1946.

Dalt Vila is the name given to the historic city center integrated into a large walled enclosure that enjoys the title of World Heritage granted by UNESCO in 1999 for its beauty and its amazing history. The fortress has a heptagonal shape and is protected by seven defensive bastions.
One can enter in Dalt Vila through any of the 5 portals strategically located along the walls that access an entire beautiful network of narow streets and alleys that lead to the Cathedral of Dalt Vila.
The main gateway to the city is the Portal de ses Taules, a massive entrance that actually is a drawbridge flanked by two Roman statues A stroll on the streets full of life and color in Dalt Vila will give you the chance to discover endless medieval streets and alleys, squares, museums, churches and magical corners that breathe history both day and night. At the end of the road, on the top of the hill we find the Cathedral Square that hosts the Episcopal Palace, the Cathedral and the Archaeological Museum. And from here a breath taking panoramic view is waiting for you to take out your camera and take some really great pictures.
The oldest restaurant in Ibiza, it was founded in 1874, when most of the clients were passing mariners and also peasants, who traveled to the city to sell their goods in the market and have to stay overnight.
From 1946 it has been in the hands of the same family and has always offered home cooking, typical dishes and reasonable prices. You can´t make a reservation, you have to sign up on the waiting list if all the tabels are already taken. It keeps the same look as a century ago. A must to go place if you want to taste the local dishes while you are in Ibiza Marina.
