Ibiza guide

Ibiza: Dalt Vila and the sunsets of the west coast

A UNESCO walled town, hidden coves, Es Vedrà at dusk and Formentera by boat.

Beyond its famous nightlife, Ibiza's most cited sights are Dalt Vila, the walled old town above the harbour and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the sunsets of the west coast, above all over the rock of Es Vedrà. Cala d'Hort and Cala Comte are the classic places to watch.

The north of the island has quiet coves, hippie markets and agroturismo farmhouses, and a boat to Formentera's turquoise beaches is the best day out. May, June and September are lovely and calmer than the peak of summer.

Formentera by boat

Formentera, half an hour by boat from Ibiza, is the most cited day trip from the island: Ses Illetes beach, a strip of white sand with water often compared to the Caribbean, is protected by the Ses Salines natural park, where Posidonia meadows keep the water clear.

A private boat allows stops at Espalmador and lunch at one of the island's famous beach restaurants, which need reservations in summer. On land, Formentera is best explored by bicycle or electric car, with the La Mola lighthouse at its eastern end.

The north of Ibiza: hippie markets and agroturismos

The quiet north of Ibiza is increasingly cited as its other face: the Las Dalias hippie market in Sant Carles, the village of Santa Gertrudis with its cafés and galleries, and agroturismos, restored farmhouses among almond and olive trees.

The coves of Benirràs, famous for its drumming at sunset on Sundays, Cala d'Aubarca and Portinatx are calmer than the south. The best months for this side of the island are May, June, September and October.
