Holidays in Santa Gertudis

An introduction to Santa Gertudis

Escape the beeping and burbling of home with holidays to Santa Gertrudis. Clear you head and hear yourself think again in Ibiza's idyllic retreat.

The actual geographical centre of Ibiza, Santa Gertrudis brings locals, tourists and artists together to mingle on cafe terraces. A brief look around this small tranquil town is enough to tell you it's a creative haven. A clutch of art galleries. A cluster of boutiques. And people passing the hours al fresco, just absorbing the atmosphere. Maybe you'll uncover your creative side too.

Santa Gertrudis holidays are most definitely about peace and quiet, whether you stay in a villa on its outskirts - like the charming Can Plana Villa - or in the town itself. If this picturesque place gets you itching to invest in local art, make sure you're at the monthly auction at Casa Todo. For a change of pace, Ibiza Town's bustle and beachlife is only 11 kilometres away. And most of the coast's glorious shores are within a 30 minute drive.

Santa Gertrudis has stayed faithful to its agricultural roots – the elegant ceiling of its church, Esglesia de Santa Gertrudis, pays homage to that. But it also means you're in for a tapas treat here. Make sure you sample the bocadillos they do so well. Simply delicious. Try Bar Costa's blend of local food with local art. As for the evenings, there's nothing quite like a glass of wine in the balmy Baleraric air, either out on your private terrace or lingering over a candlelit dinner.
