5 ideas for guided tours in Ibiza

• Ses Salines Nature Reserve

  

  Ses Salines Park is a secluded, carefully protected area in the south of the island. The whole region is made up of dunes, salt marshes that shift from pink to green depending on the stage of evaporation, and wild beaches such as Es Cavallet and Es Codolar.

  The entire area is protected and best explored on foot or by bike. You can spot a wide variety of migratory birds here, including many flamingos. Your walks will take you through breathtaking scenery, and in the water, the magical sight of the seagrass meadows, where underwater flowers bloom among the algae, will leave you in awe.

• Sol d’en Serra

  

  One of Ibiza’s hidden gems is the almost secret beach of Sol d’En Serra. This magical spot lies in the northeast of the island, about 5 kilometers from the village of Santa Eulalia. It feels almost private, so well preserved is this place.

  Follow a dead-end road and you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panorama: the Mediterranean framed by cliffs stretching out before you. Below, a pebble beach where divers slip into the crystal-clear water. To make the most of this place, come in the morning to watch the sunrise. By 6 p.m., the entire area is cast in shadow.

• Es Canar

  

  The village of Es Canar is one of Ibiza’s iconic spots. This is where the island’s first hippies settled, and where the original laid-back parties began — a far cry from the sometimes overly commercial vibe they can have today.

  You can still find a truly unique market here. Punta Arabi, located on the avenue of the same name, is open every Wednesday from May to October. Locals sell all kinds of handmade items, clothing, jewelry, and artwork. The seaside resort is very family-friendly, with many hotels right on the beach, and even a small marina at the far end.

• Island of Formentera

  

  For a day — or more — of true peace and quiet, there’s nothing like a trip to the nearby island of Formentera. Just 6 kilometers and a 30-minute boat ride from Ibiza, it remains sparsely populated, with beautiful wild beaches and crystal-clear blue water.

  Among them, don’t miss Ses Illetes, the most idyllic — and also the busiest. Beyond the beaches, you can wander through charming villages like San Francesco Xavier, with its whitewashed houses, or Salina, with its harbor and pretty marina.

  Here you can rent bikes or scooters and explore the rest of the island, heading toward Es Pujols, partly covered by the Ses Salines park, or north to the village of Es Calo, with its little coves and hidden beaches.

• Sant Joan de Labritja

  

  To uncover the island’s hidden treasures and step away from the buzz of parties and nightlife, consider hiring a tour guide in Ibiza. They can lead you to preserved corners like the island’s north, especially the small town of Sant Joan de Labritja.

  It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in local authenticity and explore some of Ibiza’s most traditional villages. Beyond its charm, it’s an excellent base for hiking through a variety of landscapes — pristine pine forests, trails winding past streams, and paths climbing up dramatic cliffs.

  You’ll follow the coast past secluded coves and the beautiful beaches of Cala Xarraca, Cala de San Vicente, and Portinatx.
