Dalt Vila

Dalt Vila
Ibiza’s old town, Dalt Vila, sits behind thick 16th-century stone walls built to keep pirates and invaders out. It’s now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and wandering its narrow, cobbled streets feels like stepping into another time. Climb up to the cathedral at the top for wide views over the harbour and sea, or enter through the impressive main gate—Portal de ses Taules—just near the old market. The place has a history in every corner, but it’s also full of quiet spots, galleries, and the occasional bar tucked away in the side streets.

Castle of Ibiza

Castle of Ibiza

The Castell d'Eivissa, or Ibiza Castle, crowns the summit of Dalt Vila, Ibiza's historic old town. This fortress is a complex of structures reflecting centuries of architectural evolution. Key components include the Moorish-era Tower of Homage, the 8th-century Almudaina keep, the Governor's House, and 18th-century infantry barracks. The castle's strategic position offers commanding views of the surrounding area. While the castle's interior isn't fully open to visitors, exploring its exterior and the surrounding area offers a rewarding experience. The climb up through Dalt Vila's winding streets leads to stunning panoramic views of Ibiza Town and the sea.

Formentera Island

Formentera Island

Just a short ferry from Ibiza, Formentera feels slower, smaller, and more stripped-back. Most people come for the beaches—Illetes, Llevant, and Cala Saona are the best known, with pale sand and ridiculously clear water. From the port of La Savina, you can rent a bike, scooter or car to explore the rest of the island. A quick stop at the tourist office will get you a free map. If you’re into history, check out the Ca Na Costa megalithic site. For a proper view, head up to Es Mirador for lunch or a drink.

Es Vedrà Island

Es Vedrà Island

Just off Ibiza’s southwest coast, Es Vedrà is a dramatic uninhabited rock island rising out of the sea. You can’t actually set foot on it—it’s part of a protected nature reserve—but people come from all over to watch the sunset from the cliffs above Cala d’Hort or take boat trips around it. Locals talk about magnetic energy and odd compass readings, and some swear the island has healing properties or spiritual pull. Myths range from sirens and sea nymphs to Atlantis connections—take your pick.

Puig de Missa Church (Església Santa Eulària del Riu)

Puig de Missa Church (Església Santa Eulària del Riu)

This fortified hilltop church in Santa Eulària isn’t just a peaceful spot—it’s also one of the best viewpoints on the island. The walk-up winds through whitewashed houses and quiet lanes, with views opening up the higher you go. Try to go early or later in the day—it gets hot, and there’s not much shade. The church itself dates back to the 16th century and was built to double as a lookout and refuge from pirate raids.
