Ibiza Holidays

Els Amunts stretches across Ibiza’s north-west with steep cliffs, pine forest and quiet rural paths. Visitors can follow hiking routes through one of the island’s least developed landscapes, passing viewpoints, traditional farmland and sections of coastline that feel far removed from the busier resorts.

Ibiza’s south-western coastline is well suited to kayaking, with routes passing rocky headlands, sea caves and small coves. Visitors can paddle close to the cliffs and see stretches of coast that are difficult to appreciate properly from the road.

The countryside around Sant Mateu is crossed by rural roads and tracks surrounded by vineyards, almond trees and traditional farmland. Visitors can explore the area by bike while seeing a much quieter side of Ibiza beyond the main coastal resorts.

The waters around Sant Josep offer rocky seabeds, caves and clear Mediterranean conditions for diving. Visitors can explore underwater routes along Ibiza’s south and south-west coast while seeing marine habitats shaped by reefs, rocky formations and nearby Posidonia meadows.

Sant Antoni’s walking routes stretch beyond the resort into pine-covered countryside, coves and cliffside viewpoints. Visitors can follow paths linking coastal scenery with rural sections, making it easy to experience a more natural side of western Ibiza on foot.

Portinatx offers sheltered coves, rocky headlands and clear water that work well for stand-up paddleboarding. Visitors can follow the coastline at a slower pace, moving between small bays while seeing a quieter part of northern Ibiza from the water.

Puig des Molins preserves one of Ibiza’s most important archaeological sites, with thousands of tombs cut into the hillside above Ibiza Town. Visitors can explore burial chambers and museum displays that reveal how the island’s Phoenician and Punic communities treated death and the afterlife.

Sa Caleta preserves the remains of a Phoenician settlement established on Ibiza’s southern coast in the 8th century BC. Visitors can walk among foundations of houses and workshops while seeing one of the places that helps explain the island’s earliest role in Mediterranean trade.

Puig de Missa rises above Santa Eulària with a whitewashed fortified church at the top of the hill. Visitors can climb through the old settlement and explore a landmark shaped by both religious life and the need to protect local communities from coastal attacks.

Torre des Savinar stands on Ibiza’s south-western cliffs as part of the island’s historic coastal defence network. Visitors can see how watchtowers once guarded the shoreline while taking in one of the most striking settings along Ibiza’s western coast.

Cova des Culleram is one of Ibiza’s most important Punic religious sites, hidden in the hills near Sant Vicent. Visitors can step into a natural cave once used as a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Tanit and discover a very different side of the island’s ancient past.

Sant Miquel’s whitewashed church sits prominently above the village and is one of Ibiza’s characteristic fortified rural churches. Visitors can step inside the compact complex and see how places of worship also served as gathering points and refuges for scattered island communities.

Ball Pagès is one of Ibiza’s oldest traditional dances, performed in colourful local dress to the sound of drums, flutes and castanets. Visitors can see the contrast between energetic male movements and slower female steps during festivals and cultural celebrations around the island.

Traditional Ibizan clothing is especially recognisable for its layered skirts, shawls and elaborate jewellery known as emprendades. Visitors can see these carefully preserved outfits during folk performances and feast days, where they remain an important visual part of local identity.

Adlib fashion grew from Ibiza’s creative scene and combines loose Mediterranean clothing with embroidery, lace and natural fabrics. Visitors can find contemporary versions in boutiques across the island, showing how Ibiza’s bohemian reputation developed into a distinctive local design tradition.

Esparto grass has been woven in Ibiza for generations into ropes, baskets, mats and traditional footwear. Visitors can still find handmade espardenyes and woven pieces produced using techniques rooted in rural island life, giving Ibiza’s craft tradition a strong local identity.

Traditional Ibizan farmhouses, known as casas payesas, are recognised by their whitewashed walls, cubic shapes and small windows. Visitors can still see preserved examples around the countryside and at ethnographic sites, revealing how rural homes were designed around farming, storage and family life.

Each May, Dalt Vila is transformed for Medieval Ibiza, with market stalls, performers, music and costumed characters filling the old streets. Visitors can wander through the fortified city while seeing one of Ibiza Town’s biggest annual cultural celebrations.

Ibiza Gay Pride returns each year with parades, performances, parties and community events centred mainly around Ibiza Town. Visitors can experience a colourful programme that combines nightlife with visibility, inclusion and celebrations spread across several days.

Festes de la Terra is one of Ibiza Town’s main annual celebrations, with concerts, sporting activities, cultural events and traditional festivities taking place around early August. Visitors can experience a programme that brings together local customs and modern entertainment.

Sant Antoni celebrates its patron saint, Sant Bartomeu, each August with concerts, traditional activities, fireworks and community events. Visitors can see a more local side of the resort town during celebrations that extend well beyond its usual nightlife scene.

The Eivissa Jazz Festival brings musicians to Ibiza Town each year for a series of live performances, often staged in atmospheric outdoor settings. Visitors can enjoy jazz against the backdrop of the old city, giving the island’s annual music calendar a very different feel from its club scene.

Pacha has been part of Ibiza’s nightlife identity for decades and remains one of the island’s best-known clubs. Visitors can experience major DJs, themed nights and late-night dancing in a venue closely tied to Ibiza’s international electronic music scene.

Sant Antoni’s western waterfront is one of Ibiza’s classic evening areas, with bars and terraces facing directly towards the sunset. Visitors can settle in for drinks, music and sea views as the atmosphere builds around the promenade later in the evening.

Las Dalias is more than a daytime market, with music, food and evening events giving it a lively atmosphere after sunset. Visitors can browse stalls, listen to live performances and experience a creative side of Ibiza that feels very different from the major club scene.

Santa Eulària offers a calmer evening scene built around its marina, promenade, restaurants and waterfront terraces. Visitors can enjoy dinner beside the sea, walk along the harbour and experience a more relaxed night out than the club-focused areas around Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni.

Playa d’en Bossa is one of Ibiza’s main clubbing areas, with major venues, beachside parties and electronic music shaping the atmosphere after dark. Visitors can move from early-evening drinks into large-scale club nights without travelling far from the resort.

La Marina sits beneath Dalt Vila and becomes especially atmospheric after sunset, when its narrow streets fill with restaurants, bars and evening crowds. Visitors can wander between the harbour and old façades while enjoying a livelier side of historic Ibiza Town.
