Details
Sant Antoni de Portmany on Ibiza’s west coast offers one of the Balearic Islands’ most iconic experiences: watching the sun dissolve into the Mediterranean from a stand-up paddleboard. Sup Paradise Ibiza brings this magic to life with their Excursión Puesta de Sol, combining light paddling instruction with relaxed cruising and the cocktail culture Ibiza is known for. The town itself sits as a lively hub, famous for its dramatic sea cliffs and shimmering coves carved from limestone rock, setting the stage for tranquil waters perfect for SUP. As afternoon light fades, the sky bursts into shades of coral and gold, reflecting off the calm sea surface.
This outing balances approachable activity with the island’s legendary ambiance, making it ideal for paddlers of any experience. Beginners get a quick, hands-on lesson before gliding along quiet bays framed by fragrant pine forests and Mediterranean scrub. The addition of freshly made mojitos onboard lifts spirits, reflecting the region’s tradition of both artisan craft and celebration. A complimentary photo shoot captures these moments, turning fleeting memories into lasting keepsakes.
Sup Paradise Ibiza stands out by offering more than just a paddle. It invites visitors to slow down, engage with nature’s changing light, and connect with Ibiza’s social vibe from a unique vantage point. Unlike crowded beaches or fast-paced nightlife, this paddleboard adventure unfolds as a calming counterpoint—a way to meet the local coastline up close, spotlighting spots less accessible from land.
In this part of the Balearic Islands, late afternoons bring a cooler breeze that refreshes without chilling, perfect for water-based activity. The Excursión Puesta de Sol isn’t just a sunset cruise; it’s a chance to engage all senses—sea, sky, taste, and touch—in one of Spain’s most alluring outdoor settings. For visitors wanting an active yet easygoing way to finish the day, Sup Paradise Ibiza offers an authentic slice of Mediterranean ocean life.
