Calas near San Lorenzo
BenirrĂ s
The best-known cala in the north, and its sunset.
Cala Xarraca
Rocks and clear water, quieter than most of the north coast.
Cala d'en Serra
A small cala near Portinatx, at the end of a winding road.
Portinatx
Small sandy calas around the village, the northern end of the island.
Cala de Sant Vicent
A wide sandy cala on the north-east coast, with calm water.
The north
San Lorenzo is a hamlet with a whitewashed church, a bar, and hills in every direction. The roads up here are narrow and empty, the land is terraced rather than flat, and the houses are set into slopes with long views over nothing much, which is exactly what people come for.
Portinatx, on the coast, is the north's swimming: small calas with water that stays cold longer into the spring. The whole area has the darkest skies on the island, and on a clear night that is a genuine difference rather than a line in a brochure.
Who this side suits
People who have been to Ibiza before and want the version of it that existed before the rest. It is about thirty to thirty-five minutes to the airport and a similar drive to the old town, so the car is not optional and dinner is a decision rather than an impulse.
It suits a slow week: long lunches at the house, one outing a day, and the road down to the coast in the late afternoon. If the group wants to be out every night, the Ibiza Town side is the honest recommendation and we will make it.
Questions about villas in San Lorenzo
How far is the north of Ibiza from the airport?
About thirty to thirty-five minutes, and a similar drive to the old town. It is the furthest side of the island from both, which is part of why it stays quiet.
Do we need a car in San Lorenzo?
Yes. The roads are narrow and empty, the villages are small, and dinner out is a decision rather than an impulse. Most guests here plan one outing a day and spend the rest at the house.
Where do you swim in the north?
Around Portinatx and the small calas on that coast, Cala Xarraca and BenirrĂ s among them. The water stays cooler further into the spring than in the south.
Which are the best calas in the north of Ibiza?
BenirrĂ s for the sunset, Cala Xarraca for quiet water, Cala d'en Serra and the small calas around Portinatx at the northern end, and Cala de Sant Vicent on the north-east coast. The water here stays cooler further into the spring than in the south.
Is the north of Ibiza a good choice for a quiet holiday?
It is the quietest part of the island: narrow roads, small villages and houses set into the hills with nobody nearby. The trade-off is distance, about thirty to thirty-five minutes to the airport and the old town, so it suits a slow week better than a short stay with a lot of plans.
Do the villas in San Lorenzo have a private pool?
Yes. Every house we publish in San Lorenzo has a pool of its own; what kind it is (heated, infinity, saltwater) is on the page of each villa.
We are a large group. Can we all stay together?
Yes. For a large group we suggest two villas close to each other, or a property from our private collection, which we show on request.

A short conversation saves a week of scrolling. If nothing published fits, we open the houses that are on no website.
