The lively village of Jesús is located near Ibiza Town, but belongs to the municipality of Santa Eulalia. The marinas and the centre of Ibiza Town are only a short drive by taxi or bus. Also nearby is the small resort of Talamanca with its beautiful beach.
In the centre of the village, you'll find a beautiful whitewashed church, with the tranquil village square next to it, where children enjoy the playground and villagers chat in the shade of trees. A traditional water mill is an interesting feature. Inside the church, the famous altarpiece has 25 painted panels that date back to the 1500s.
The two main roads are lined with supermarkets, shops, real estate agents, fitness studios and an array of restaurants and bars with different cuisines, offering good quality fare at reasonable prices.
Due to its proximity to Ibiza Town and its excellent facilities, Jesús is a very sought-after location, and flats in newly built properties sell for high prices.
Fiesta de Jesús
On 8 September, the annual Fiesta de Jesús is celebrated to honour the village's patron saint. The village comes alive with a full day of festivities starting with a Mass, followed by a procession, traditional dances and offerings of fruits to the Virgin of Jesús.
In the evening, there is a party in the village square with live music from different artists.
In the weeks around the big day, there are events for the whole family with live music, sports and food. Find more info in our events calendar.
S'Estanyol beach
Within five minutes of Jesús lies a beautiful, secluded beach, S'Estanyol. It's a narrow, arc-shaped cove with shady pine trees and crystal-clear water.
By being off the tourist trail, this beach never feels overcrowded, even at the height of the summer season. Surrounded by rocky outcrops, this hidden gem is well worth a visit.
