Water sports available for all levels

In the summer, the winds mostly come from the west, so San Antonio bay is the ideal spot in Ibiza to enjoy water activities that require calm waters, like paddleboarding and kayaking.

Paddleboarding
If you’d like to explore the coast, there are stand-up paddleboarding activities for groups that will take you to caves and remote coves. There are options for those who are only getting started or routes for experienced boarders. They also offer other by-products or similar activities, like SUP Yoga or SUP Pilates, or water bikes, where you’re pedalling on two narrow parallel boards. .
