Atlantis Beach (Pedrera de Cala d'Hort), South-West Ibiza
Enchanted & magical cove on the south coast opposite the island of Es Vedra
Centuries ago the rock from here was quarried and used to build the watch towers, homes and walls of the citadel of Ibiza. Today you will discover a multitude of interesting and unusual rock formations here.
The trail down is steep in places and covered in loose rock and low level scrub and bushes. Once you have negotiated the trail you will discover Atlantis - the lost city... or the quarry at least from which a city was created! A labyrinth of caves, rocks, holes and sea pools, this place is truly magical and a sight to behold.
Much like Punta de sa Galera the flat rocks here can be good for sunbathing... although be warned they might not always be sitting at quite the right angle!
It has also become popular with climbers and you will find several bolted routes in place here.
Directions
On the road between Es Cubells and Cala d'Hort as you reach a downward right turn with a view of Es Vedra, you will see a small road on your left that is signposted. Follow along this dirt track and you will reach a parking area that is used mainly for access to the defensive tower of Torre de Savinar on the cliff top. If you follow the trodden path to your left then you will pass several stone art works on the ground and discover the path that leads down to Atlantis.
When to come
Avoid the heat of the midday sun, especially in the summer months! The walk back up is not advisable in the kind of heat that we experience in Ibiza in August...
