Life in San José Villages, Ibiza

There are three main villages in the municipality itself: San José, San Agustin, and Es Cubells. 

Boasting unique charm, local community, and a family-friendly atmosphere, San José is one of the most popular villages on the island. The typical Ibicencan town offers a number of convenient amenities, such as vibrant restaurants all year round, supermarkets, souvenir gift shops, boutiques, and fashion stores. 

Secondly, the idyllic village of Sant Agustí boasts endless views of vineyards and the surrounding countryside, making it both an architecturally impressive and peaceful setting. Sant Agustí lies on the border between San Antonio and San José, providing easy access to all the local shops, supermarkets, and restaurants, which is necessary since the village itself hosts only a few stores. Due to the very same reason, Benimussa’s countryside location, with its panorama of outstanding beauty, is highly desirable to those seeking a secluded country atmosphere and a life of authenticity.

Lastly, is Es Cubells – Ibiza’s smallest village. Even though this village crosses over with the client appeal of the south, it still offers a unique traditional culture. The village itself consists only of a white Ibicencan church and two bars nearby. A magical and extraordinary spot dotted with little coves and beaches close by, such as Ses Boques, Cala Llentrisca, Es Torrent, Porroig, and the Cala d’Hort Natural Park with its famous Es Vedra island.

San José’s main village attracts property buyers that are typically families with permanent residences or those looking for second homes during the summer. Buyers here are often drawn to the village’s authenticity, which is reflected also in its style of properties.

Clientele looking to buy a property in Sant Augusti (or Benimussa) tend to also be families and younger couples who are often searching for traditional fincas and Mediterranean-style villas with expansive grounds, plenty of outdoor living opportunities, and occasionally the potential to cultivate their own land.

Although a small, traditional village, properties in the village of Es Cubells feature more exclusive-style modern villas with spectacular views of the sea. It is no secret that the Cala d’Hort beach and the surrounding area of Es Cubells have the best views of Es Vedrà, one of the most desired requirements for luxury home buyers, which makes Es Cubells more than just a village lifestyle location.

The most popular area for buyers with money to invest is undoubtedly Ses Salines, Cala Jondal, or as previously mentioned, Es Cubells. These up-market locations all offer easy access to the unspoiled countryside, Ibiza Town, and the island’s most popular beaches, as well as fashionable bars and restaurants frequented by A-list celebrities like Sa Trinxa and El Chiringuito, the famous Blue Marlin Ibiza Beach Club. These southern Ibiza spots are viewed as the finest and most attractive spots for lifestyle vacationers to enjoy an exclusive VIP status.
