Top 10 dingen te doen in Ibiza
1. Dalt Vila
Dalt Vila is the Old Town of Ibiza, a fortified city of high cultural importance that includes a gothic cathedral, museums and a lookout from where visitors can enjoy scenic views over the island.
2. Go Party
Nightlife often plays the most important role in bringing holiday-goers to Ibiza. The island is famous worldwide for its large and exclusive clubs hosting the most famous DJs, who play even unreleased tracks. Underground and rave parties are also common for those looking for a less exclusive feeling.
3. Beaches
Beaches represent another main reason for going to Ibiza! Most of them are in fact well preserved with clear waters and amazingly bright sand. However, with all this stunning beauty around, one should pay attention to jellyfish, which may reside in some waters.
4. Ses Salines National Park
Ses Salines National Park encompasses a quite huge territory and it hosts different species of birds and plants (some threatened); due to this, it is also included in the World Heritage Sites list. For those who are tired of crowded beaches, here they can find less busy ones but anyway enjoy several services that are available nearby.
5. Atlantis
This spot called Atlantis is an unusual and little known rocky beach that used to be a quarry and that is characterized by stunning man-made rock formations. Rock carvings made by hippies during the ‘60s can be seen there.
6. Café del Mar
With its particular design, its chill-out music compilations that have become famous all over the world and its location on the sea front, watching the sunset at Café del Mar is something that has become legendary.
7. Es Vedra
Es Vedra is a small uninhibited rocky island located off the Ibiza eastern coast that holds the status of Natural Reserve to protect sea birds nesting on this small islet. Es Vedra can be seen by several points in Ibiza: one of the best hiking routes could be climbing up to Torre des Savinar, from where you can see Es Vedra in all its glory. Brining along binoculars is recommended.
8. Hippy Market
Ibiza was one of the main destinations for artists, craftsmen and artisans, who settled there (mainly during the ‘60s) to enjoy the particular vibe of the island. Nowadays part of this culture is still present in Ibiza and it can be seen in several Hippy Markets held weekly in different part of the island, where it is possible to buy unique handicrafts both local and exotic.
9. Iglesia San Rafael
Located in the small and quite village of Sant-Rafael, this lovely whitewashed church stands at the top of the hill, from which one can enjoy spectacular views over Ibiza. For visitors planning to get married in a very unusual place, this one could be the right choice.
10. Formentera
Located only 6 km south of Ibiza, Formentera is a small island that can be easily reached by boat (the ride takes approximately 30 minutes). The island is somehow more unspoilt (compared to Ibiza) and features pristine beaches where nudism is often practiced; if you enjoy beaches in Ibiza then make sure not to miss Formentera and go there at least for one day…
