About This Spot
Sant Antoni's Platja de s'Arenal is a sheltered bay on the west coast of Ibiza, Spain. The spot faces westward into relatively protected waters, with development extending along the southern shoreline. The bay features numerous moored boats and active marina infrastructure, particularly visible in the northern sector. Water conditions are consistently light with minimal swell penetration. The spot suits only absolute beginners seeking flat-water practice in calm conditions, as wind reliability of 8% and average speeds of 6.6 knots fall well below practical kitesurfing thresholds. North winds provide the best side-shore approach. The shallow, confined nature of the bay presents challenges for maneuverability and learning progression. Boat traffic and moored vessels create navigation hazards requiring constant awareness. The location functions better as a protected alternative for days when offshore spots experience excessive wind, rather than a primary training destination. Water temperatures average 19.4°C, suitable for wetsuits during cooler months.
