Ibiza's Sant Antoni budget falls 10.65% for 2027
€50.15 million for Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza: its proposed 2027 budget is 10.65% smaller than this year’s, but still sets money aside for housing, parking and playgrounds. Mayor Marcos Serra and Maria Ribas, the councillor for Human Resources and General Services, presented the plan on Wednesday, 11 November.
Why the budget is smaller
Serra said the main reason is a sharp drop in planned borrowing. The council sought a €13.6 million loan to fund work and investments this year; its borrowing plan for 2027 is €2.1 million.
The draft sets aside €7.37 million for public works, including better lighting and public car parks, as well as new parking spaces. It also proposes a playground at the sa Talaia picnic area and the completion of work at the park on Calle Alicante.
Housing and easier routes through town
A €570,000 contribution from the Ibiza Island Council is earmarked for housing. Of that, €500,000 would buy land for public housing, while €70,000 would fund rent support for young people and those over 30.
More than €1 million is planned for work at the Racó d’en Pep building to remove barriers to access and improve the link between Avenida Isidor Macabich and Calle Sant Rafel. Another €800,000 is proposed for pavements and raised crossings in the town centre. These projects remain part of a draft budget.
