    Beach, Leisure, Snorkeling

    Not all the places that are described as a hidden gem actually look like one but this beach does. It is both hidden (you have to reach via a short hike) and a gem (a tiny cove of emerald waters). To get here, first drive into the Isla Blanca residential area. Park where the pavement becomes too shoddy to drive. Walk down to a dirt trail. Follow the signposted way to the cove. It’s a lovel...Read more

    Church, Village

    Though most people come to visit here for the church, the village is quite a charming place too. It’s so small that it’s more hamlet than village, with a market, bars, restaurants, cafes and some houses. In a sense, this place is most representative of what life in Ibiza is really like now. It’s as unlike the tourist areas as could be. Citrus trees grow wild, the earth is a ri...Read more

    Monument

    It’s not often that you see a monument made out to corsairs. But it’s less strang when one accounts for the fact that most of Ibiza’s old fortifications and watchtowers were on pirate lookout. In those days Ibiza hired the corsairs to defend them against pirates. Specifically the Antoni Riquer, who in 1806 captured the ship of the pirate Miguel Novelli. The monument was built ...Read more

It’s reached through ...Read more

    Beach, Leisure

As As a result of which you’ve got just enough amenities here to fulfill your needs, and it still managed to be a tranquil and natural looking place.

  9. Santuario Punico Es Culleram

    Cave

    Tanit was a Carthaginian god dedicated to good fortune. This cave, dedicated to the deity, seemed to have functioned as a shrine, a home and a shelter.

A bronze place found inside mentions the god, an...Read more

  12. Playa Des Codolar

    Beach, Leisure

    The attractions of this beach are not like the attractions of other beaches on Ibiza. It is long and heavily pebbled, making it unattractive to loungers and sunbathers. The airport is very close, meaning planes fly low and loud over the beach. But if you’re up for some bird watching, the beach has a decent avian population. Some people even love the planes flying in as they make for excel...Read more
  13. Hipodromo Sant Jordi

    Race Track, Flea Market

    Yes, technically this is a dirt race track but that’s not why the tourists love to come and visit. Every Saturday vendors stream in on their cars and set up a unique flea market.

    Monument

    Drivers heading from San Antonio to Ibiza will at some point spot this giant monument rising into the sky from the left. Either they can drive straight on or they can take a quick little detour to check it out. It’s in the residential area known as Monte Cristo. But there really is nothing much to do here apart from taking a few photographs. You can even visit at night when the monument i...Read more
