Attraction Reviews from Ibiza

The infamous hippy market in Es Canar near Santa Eulalia has been a popular destination for years and it's easy to see why.

Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera (of the fruits) was, as the name suggests, once famed for its orchards and the fruit produced on the fertile acreage surrounding it. These days although the area is still farmed, the town itself is far more famous for its boutiques and bars than it’s farmyards.

High in the pine covered hills of Ibiza’s under populated north lies Sant Miquel, the largest settlement at this end of the island. Still not large by any stretch of the imagination, Sant Miquel is a quiet little rustic town in which Ibizan life goes on seemingly oblivious to the hordes of tourists sweeping the rest of the island.

If you’ve ever dreamed about handing in the keys to your everyday life and moving across the water to the White Isle for a simpler, sunnier lifestyle then a visit to San Carlos will surely push you over the edge.

If you’ve got the time and the inclination to do a little exploring of the island beyond the beaches and the clubs, if you want to see a simpler slice of Ibizan life away from the two main towns then you should take a few hours and go for a wander around pretty and prosperous Sant Josep. 

Puig des Molins is a gravesite dating back to the 7th century BC where of thousands of ancient Ibizan residents were buried or cremated according to various religious and cultural traditions.

Located within easy walking distance from the centre of San Antonio, and perched on the very edge of the rocky coastline is the Cap Blanc aquarium; underground caves where you can see a collection of typical Ibizan marine life and if you’re lucky a sea turtle or two.

In just one location at Sa Capelleta in Ibiza's Old Town you will find an archaeological site dating from Punic, Roman and Islamic times.

Dalt Vila, the fortified old town in Ibiza Town, has undergone many changes over the years, set as it is in a location desirable for trade and for its defensive standpoint. Occupied and fought over and reoccupied many times over the years by, the Carthaginians, the Byzantines and the Romans amongst others, all adds to Ibiza’s multicultural history.

If you tire of the boutiques and glitzy glamour of Ibiza town but still have an itch to shop till you drop then the Hippy Markets are where you need to head to.

Hang out like a smuggler in the north of Ibiza in this magical underground cave system, the largest on the island.

Located right on the edge of Ibiza Town is a scruffy little slice of history that is often missed by people who walk past it completely oblivious.

This art gallery and museum is housed in a beautiful 15th century mansion in the old quarter of Ibiza town. It displays a permanent collection of work by father and son Ibizan artists Narcis Puget Vinas and Narcis Puget Riquer.

San Rafael, situated mid way between San Antonio and Ibiza Town, is best known as the location of two of Ibiza’s world renowned super clubs; Amnesia and Privilege. That’s all most people ever see of this rustic little town in the centre of Ibiza but if you fancy exploring a bit further take a little trip into San Rafael for a glimpse of a real, lived in Ibizan village packed with eateries and unique shopping.
