Ibiza, this small and magical Mediterranean island, attracts millions of tourists every year—of all kinds and from all over the world. There is plenty to see there, with something for everyone.
Ibiza is well known among tourists for its famous party scene, fueled by nightclubs like Pachá and Amnesia. But there are others—couples, groups of friends, or families—who are drawn instead by the island’s idyllic beaches and coves, its landscapes, and its pleasant climate. And still others visit Ibiza in search of the old hippie vibe that put the island on the map in the 1960s, turning Ibiza into one of the capitals of the hippie movement alongside Amsterdam and San Francisco.
Here are 10 places to visit in Ibiza in 4 days
Las Dalias Market.
Ibiza is the queen of hippie markets. There are markets almost every day, in every location, of every size, and for every budget—and you can find just about anything there, depending on which one you go to and how much you’re willing to look.
The Las Dalias market is one of the island’s first hippie markets and a must-see in Ibiza. It was created by a German, and today it’s so successful that it’s no longer held only on Saturdays starting at 10:00 a.m. as was customary, but in the summer it’s also held on Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday evenings starting at 7:00 p.m. They host various events and even take the market to other European cities a couple of times a year. Las Dalias is a market worth seeing, with that quintessential Ibiza hippie vibe.
In the summer it can get quite crowded, but it’s still always enjoyable. The items are quite high-end and not cheap, but it’s still worth a visit. Las Dalias Market is in San Carlos (Sant Carles), a small town that’s also very pleasant to stroll through. Visit their website.
Sant Jordi Market
Another famous market in Ibiza is the Sant Jordi flea market, a massive market held at the racetrack in the town of Sant Jordi, about 3 km from Ibiza. It’s a huge market set up on the ground where you can find all kinds of secondhand items. It looks like people have loaded their entire homes into their cars and dumped them there (and people keep some very strange and old things at home). You can visit it on Saturday mornings, and free parking is available. Visit their website
Ses Salines Natural Park
Near the town of Sant Jordi is another must-see in Ibiza: Ses Salines Natural Park, designated in 2001. Nearly 3,000 hectares of land and 13,000 hectares of water stretching between southern Ibiza and northern Formentera. A landscape that surprises those who come only to see the inside of the big nightclubs. A vast expanse of water and salt that will make you fall in love with the place!
Salinas Beach and Cavallet Beach
Two of the most beautiful beaches to see in Ibiza are part of this natural park: Salinas Beach and Cavallet Beach. Both amaze with their turquoise waters that make you wonder if you’ve been teleported to the Caribbean.
Benirrás Beach
Benirrás Beach is one of the most famous on the island, not only because of the spectacular scenery offered by this cove with the rock formation in front of it, but also because for many years now, every Sunday the cove has hosted what is known as the Drum Festival, which has become one of the must-see activities in Ibiza.
It’s something worth seeing and experiencing, even though it has become extremely touristy.
Dalt Vila (Old Ibiza)
Today, Dalt Vila—the upper part of Ibiza’s old town—is finally receiving the recognition it deserves. It’s one of the must-see attractions in Ibiza, so put on some comfortable shoes and start the climb up the cobblestone streets that lead into Dalt Vila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can admire the 16th-century walls and enjoy stunning views once you reach the top.
Santa Agnes
They say that the small village of Santa Agnes (Santa Inés) is one of the most authentically rural villages left on the island, although San Juan also likes to claim the title. Olive trees and sheep dot the landscape, a few farmhouses huddled together, and a pace of life that seems to move at a different speed. It’s worth continuing along the route to reach the Puertas del Cielo viewpoint, where a small café has been set up and you can enjoy breathtaking views of all the cliffs along the coast in that part of the island.
Cala Llonga
Cala Llonga is one of the few remaining beaches with a family-friendly atmosphere. It is a favorite among families, thanks to its shallow, calm waters that form a natural pool. It is quite touristy and is located near Santa Eulalia.
Santa Gertrudis
Santa Gertrudis is a small village where there isn’t really much to see, but it’s pleasant to stroll through its streets, soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere and enjoying the scents and the shifting light that outlines the scenery.
There are a few bars and restaurants, and the Costa bar is famous for its ham sandwiches, which are said to be among the top 10 in Spain. The place became famous because its owner traded hams for paintings from the Chilean painter Andrés Monreal and later from other artists to sell them to tourists. Today, the space features an expanded collection of paintings.
Formentera
A good idea might be to spend a day taking a trip to Formentera. There are plenty of ferries offering this route. Most depart from the Port of Ibiza, but some also leave from Santa Eulalia and Playa d’en Bossa—slower but also more affordable. You can find the cheapest ferries starting at €18 round-trip, up to €35 for the fastest ones.
The truth is that this small, magical island offers much more than just partying, and its Mediterranean atmosphere is sure to leave a lasting impression.
