Ibiza Sightseeings
For a small island Ibiza has plenty to show you on your holiday: beautiful beaches, enchanting countryside, history and culture.
In land you will find beautiful white washed villages, each with their own ancient church. Explore the narrow lanes, browse the local shops and then, perhaps, enjoy a lazy lunch on a shady terrace.
Or is adventure more your thing? Racing along country lanes discovering hidden beaches or walking through underground caverns used by smugglers.
Perhaps you enjoy shopping in atmospheric markets, browsing handmade jewellery and unique clothing? Then Ibiza has the world famous hippy market to tempt you!
Below you'll find suggestions and information on things you might like to do wherever you are staying on Ibiza. Plus we've included ways to get out and about and explore the island on board the new environmentally friendly electric vehicles.
Hippy Market - Punta Arabi Es Cana
A visit to the famous Hippy Market on the grounds of the holiday club Punta Arabí in Es Cana, near Santa Eulalia, held every Wednesday (from may to October) from 10.00 - 19.00 hrs., is a must. At the market you have an enormous variety to choose from: the most exotic batik wraps and clothing to tailor-made leather mocassins and an tantalising variety of east-asian silver jewellry and trinkets. If you look around you can still find some of the original hippies, although most of them have grey hair by now! Like a time-warp back to the 1970s. Every Wednesday.
Hippy Market - Las Dalias San Carlos
In San Carlos in the North-East, set in the grounds of a restaurant, this weekly market continues in Saturdays throughout the year. Many consider it to be a more original and traditional alternative to the larger Wednesday market at Es Caná. Wonderful selection of handmade clothes and jewellery, you can be sure to find that little something for everyone. Open until late in summer, 'til 18.00 in winter, every Saturday.
Las Salinas - Salt Flats Near the airport
One of Ibiza's most famous landmarks. On the southern most tip of the island, the salt fields have been in use for over 2000 years. As the water evaporates during the hot summer months, a sparkling layer of pure salt is left on the bottom of the lakes. One of the most beautiful spots for sunset photos.
an MarçCaves
Breathtaking sea views as you descend steeply to the entrance. Enter this multi-level, yellow-gold world, plotting the smugglers' ancient route with a multilingual guide. Mysteriously, silently over eons, stalagmites and stalactites have formed into figures, temples and rocket stations. At the heart is a spectacular Music & Light Show with a 30 ft. cascade of diamond-bright water. Open all year. Tours hourly, summer from 10.30 - 19.30 h, winter from 11.00 - 17.00 h. Tel.: 971 33 47 76
San Antonio
San Antonio is the most popular place to stay to for the British tourists, the town is very Brit dominated. Historically, San Antonio has always had a large number of British pubs / restaurants, and it is also the most heavily offered destination for Club 18-30 and other tour operators. San Antonio is also one of the cheapest places to stay in Ibiza, and thus is very popular with the British clubbers.
Ibiza Town
Ibiza's capital is a vibrant cosmopolitan place. It's full of historical sights, terrific shops, top restaurants, great bars and, of course, amazing clubs. A broad range of nationalities and ages can always be found in Ibiza Town as there is something for everyone.
Playa d`en Bossa
After San Antonio, Playa d’en Bossa is the clubbers destination of choice. This is largely because it's the home of arguably the islands most popular club and bar in Space and Bora Bora respectively. Playa d'en Bossa is also very close to the airport and Ibiza Town, whilst the beach there is the biggest in Ibiza.
Santa Eulalia
Situated on the East side of the island, Santa Eulalia is Ibiza’s third largest town, behind Ibiza Town and San Antonio. It is very popular holiday resort, though is predominantly family orientated, so don?t expect to find many clubbers! Santa Eulalia does offer some nice beaches, a picturesque river and some good restaurants. From a clubbers perspective, the night life is virtually non-existent. However there is a bar called “Guarana” which has resident DJs from the Pacha and Amnesia playing regularly.
Es Cana
Es Cana is another family resort a few kilometers North of Santa Eulalia. It is much smaller than Santa Eulalia, and doesn’t boast its attractions. However, there are some great beaches nearby and Es Cana is home to the hippy market. The hippy market takes place every Wednesday in the summer months and offers a range of exotic clothes, jewellery and trinkets.
