What to expect

1

Dalt Vila

Ibiza's crowning glory — a UNESCO World Heritage fortified old town perched on a hilltop above the harbour, enclosed by massive Renaissance ramparts built to withstand Ottoman attacks. Climb through cobblestone alleys past whitewashed houses, Gothic churches, and panoramic terraces to the cathedral at the summit with views across the sea to Formentera.

Duration 60 minutes
2

Marina Ibiza

The vibrant waterfront where fishing boats and superyachts share the same harbour — leading into the atmospheric Sa Penya quarter, a maze of narrow lanes beneath the fortress walls lined with boutiques, restaurants, and bars. The marina promenade comes alive at sunset with the fortress glowing golden above.

Duration 60 minutes
3
Necropolis del Puig des Molins

One of the best-preserved ancient cemeteries in the Mediterranean — a UNESCO World Heritage Phoenician and Roman burial ground with over 3,000 tombs spanning from the 7th century BC. The on-site museum displays stunning grave goods including terracotta figures, jewelry, and amulets that reveal Ibiza's importance as a Phoenician trading hub.

4

The 13th-century cathedral crowning the highest point of Dalt Vila — originally Gothic, later rebuilt in Baroque style, with a bell tower offering commanding views over the old town and harbour. The adjacent Archaeological Museum houses artifacts spanning Ibiza's Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, and Moorish past across three millennia.

Duration 60 minutes
5

Vara de Rey

The elegant main boulevard of Ibiza Town — a tree-lined promenade flanked by outdoor café terraces, Art Deco facades, and the monument to General Vara de Rey. The surrounding streets pulse with Ibiza's year-round local culture, from morning markets and traditional tapas bars to the contemporary art galleries of the new town.

Duration 30 minutes
6

Café del Mar

<nil>

The world's most famous sunset ritual — watching the sun sink into the Mediterranean from the legendary Sunset Strip in San Antonio while ambient music drifts from Café del Mar, the bar that launched the Balearic chill-out movement. Thousands gather nightly for what has become one of the Mediterranean's most iconic experiences.

7

Es Vedra

A dramatic 400-meter limestone rock island rising from the sea off Ibiza's southwest coast — shrouded in legends of magnetic anomalies, UFO sightings, and sirens. Viewpoints along the clifftop at Es Vedrà offer some of the most spectacular and otherworldly scenery in the entire Mediterranean.

Duration 30 minutes
8

Cala Comte

Ibiza's most beautiful beach — crystal-clear turquoise water lapping against rocky shelves with views across to the islands of Es Vedrà and S'Espartar, widely regarded as having the finest sunset on the island. Beyond Cala Comte, discover hidden coves like Cala Salada, Cala d'Hort, and the pine-fringed Cala Bassa.

Duration 60 minutes
9

The legendary Saturday hippy market — a kaleidoscope of handmade jewelry, leather goods, vintage clothing, and bohemian crafts that captures the free-spirited essence of 1960s Ibiza. The nearby town of Santa Eulària des Riu offers a quieter side of the island with a beautiful hilltop church and the island's only river.

10

Benirràs

A stunning north-coast cove famous for its Sunday sunset drumming circle — dozens of drummers create a hypnotic rhythm as the sun sets behind the distinctive Cap Bernat rock formation. The weekly gathering has been an Ibiza tradition since the hippie era and remains one of the island's most magical and authentic experiences.

Duration 60 minutes
