Sant Josep de sa Talaia is a village and municipality of the Balearic Islands in western Ibiza. The village is 10.7 miles (17.2 km) west of the capital Eivissa and is located on the PM803 highway between Eivissa town and Sant Antoni de Portmany. The town is 6.5 miles (10.5 km) from the island's airport. As of 2006, the population of the municipality is 26,133.

In the early years of the 17th century the population of village had grown considerably. At this time the nearest place of worship was at Sant Antoni de Portmany and the local population needed a church somewhat closer to their homes. In 1726 the inhabitants of the area then named es Vedrans and Benimussa asked the archbishop of Tarragona, Manuel de Samaniego y Jaca, who was visiting the island, to approved the building of a new church. The archbishop agreed to this request and on 15 August 1729 the first mass was held on the site.
