Print Destination Info

You have come so far, Ibiza. From hippy hideaway to mega-club Mecca and back again, this destination has always been at once contemporary and timeless. Explore the island on foot and discover dozens of hidden beaches and coves, then party with your best 1,000 friends at Privilege, Eden, or El Divino in Eivissa (Ibiza Town) and throughout the southern shore. Or, simply listen to the beat of drums and flutes while swapping stories with your fellow travelers in the more laid-back, bohemian northern area. Whichever way you enjoy Ibiza, plan on sleeping as little as possible, eating world-class seafood, and meeting fascinating characters.

Catredal de Santa Maria de Ibiza
Plaza de la Catedral
Eivissa (Ibiza Town)
Tel. 34.971.312.774
It’s not all fun and parties on Ibiza – it’s amazing history, too. This ancient cathedral, built in the 13th century, has sections built in both gothic and baroque styles. There is a huge cross more than 600 years old made of gold and silver. Mass is held on Sunday. Otherwise, it’s open from 10 to 1. It’s Located in the Dalt Vila (Old Town) section of Eivissa.

Cova de Can Marca
A few miles north of the town of San Miguel, on the north side of the island, is an amazing sea cave complex. Too many visitors come here but it’s worth the trip, even with the crowds. Start with beautiful panoramic views of the bay of San Miguel and descend into artificially lit rooms of cascading water beds. Tours leave every half hour from 11 am to 1:30 and 3 to 5:530 pm.

BEST BEACHES

Las Salinas
Venture south past Eivissa and its crowded beaches to Las Salinas. Here, one finds more quiet as well as plenty of nudity, especially at Playa Cavallet, an officially clothes free spot (nudity is rampant). This is the “in” beach where exclusive clubs play the best music. The area surrounding the crystal blue waters is a protected wildlife refuge. At sunset, venture to the nearby salt lakes, where locals once harvested “white gold” from evaporated water.

Aguas Blancas
The name means “white water” After seeing how light the blue waters are, you’ll see why this out of the way, northern beach got its name. The high Mediterranean cliffs by the sands give some appreciated shade after a hard night of partying. It is a mere half mile to the north from San Carlos.
