Ibiza manages to be something of an island paradise for many different groups of visitors –whether they come for beach parties and clubs, or the breathtaking Balearic beauty. Whatever your tastes, Ibiza is brimming with great things to do and has a real magnetising charm, drawing people back to its shores year after year.
Relaxation and revelry in Ibiza
The island’s energetic capital is a must-see destination, whether you love history or want to immerse yourself in the party scene. The Ibiza Puerto is an idyllic marina framed by the turquoise sea, where top restaurants and boutique stores complement the views.
Stock up on souvenirs, dine on delicious seafood and find some of the best Ibiza boat trips around.
Some of Ibiza’s best nightclubs lie in wait at the resorts of San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa, including legends like Pacha, the original club that has been running since 1966, and more recent additions to the party scene such as the glamorous Ushuaia resort and Ocean Beach Club. Expect some of the biggest names in electronic, dance and house music here.
The historic streets of Dalt Vila, meanwhile, offer something completely different. Step into the remains of a 13th-century castle, stroll between the UNESCO-heritage buildings, or be entertained by an open-air cinema.
Playa d’en Bossa is just a short walk away from the centre. Head here on Sundays to visit the golden sands of Bora Bora beach, and experience a real Ibiza party.
Tour Ibiza’s best hidden beaches
The island of Ibiza is peppered with beautiful beaches – including blissful sheltered spots and quiet coves away from the crowds.
Torre De Ses Portes is a secret haven on the island’s southern tip, where you’ll find an 18th-century defence tower crowning the near-perfect white sands. In the distance, you’ll be greeted by beautiful views of Ibiza’s islets, each with their own fascinating history.
On the opposite frontier, Cala Xarraca is set in a secluded cove. A short drive from the village of Sant Joan de Labritja, this beach is great for snorkelling. Take a dip in the lucid waters, before invigorating your senses in the stretch’s natural mud bath.
Cala Llentrisca is a fantastic beach to visit too. A natural beauty in the south, this secluded 100-metre slice of tranquillity is protected by lush trees and has rustic wooden walkways stretching into the crystalline waters.
To the west meanwhile, Cala d'Hort natural reserve boasts a spectacular beach and cove that looks over at the majestic rocky island of Es Vedra – one of Ibiza’s most iconic and awe-inspiring sights.
Experience Ibiza’s bohemian side
Once you’ve sampled the island’s history, beauty and party atmosphere, it’s time to experience Ibiza’s joyfully alternative culture.
The northern region is characterised by a slow-paced, bohemian atmosphere. Es Canar, for example, has hosted the Punta Arabi Hippy Market since 1973. Here, you can buy intricate handmade crafts, see live performances and try traditional dishes from across the globe.
Some of Ibiza’s most secluded resorts are also becalming yoga retreats as well, where you can recharge and unwind, away from the stresses of the world.
