Lets visit Jesús
Jesús

The small but idyllic village of Jesús is located about four kilometers northeast of Ibiza Town. The symbol with which Jesús is often referred to is the historic church located in the center of the village. In the vicinity of Jesús there are well-known beaches such as S'Estanyol and Talamanca, but Jesús itself also has plenty to offer, making a visit to the village worthwhile.


Nature
Although the growing village is close to the capital of Ibiza, it has managed to retain its rural beauty. After a few residential areas, the area around Jesús soon changes into dunes and pine forest.



Popular
Jesús is becoming more and more popular because of the good restaurants, shops and there is even a gym in the village! Locals love the village of Jesús for its minimalist yet beautiful architecture and the strong sense of unity that prevails within the village. What also makes Jesús attractive is the wide range of good restaurants and bars. Jesús is located in the outskirts of Ibiza Town, only a five minute drive from the well-known Pacha. Fun fact; during the summer months, dressed-up clubbers from Ibiza Town who drive back to the north of the island regularly pass Jesús to score a nice breakfast before they go to bed!
