Holidays with the family on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza
Small coves in the blue of the Mediterranean, pine forests reaching almost to the sea, days aboard a sailboat, quiet villages with rural charm, luxurious beach clubs, and accommodations in a paradise-like setting—this is Ibiza.
This dream destination in the Mediterranean is where you can fully embrace freedom, enjoying the unique hippie atmosphere of its fashion and markets while relaxing in Balinese beds by the sea or witnessing breathtaking sunsets with inspiring views. Ibiza authentically blends the most exciting nightlife with historical buildings and marine biodiversity that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Casual clothing made from light, white fabrics is the hallmark of Ibiza’s fashion and lifestyle. Ibiza represents freedom, self-discovery, and comfort in every sense. The short distances on the island allow you to relax, rejuvenate, and feel younger than ever. The turquoise blue coves offer relaxation and seclusion. Some particularly tranquil coves can be explored on a pleasant sailing trip from the ports of Eivissa, Sant Antoni de Portmany, and Santa Eulària des Riu. Dining on a seaside promenade or in its vicinity is a unique opportunity to discover the island’s seafood dishes.
Ibiza’s coast is especially beautiful in places such as Cala d’Hort, where the impressive natural park Es Vedrà is located; Es Caló d'es Moro, one of the most popular spots for sunsets on Ibiza; the rugged coast of Ses Variades with its lively bars and venues; the bay of Benirrás, the epicenter of the hippie movement, known for its Sunday drum parties; and other coves like Tarida, Jondal, Conta, or the beaches of Ses Salines and d’en Bossa, featuring various beach clubs. You can also visit Cala Llentía, where monoliths on the cliffs are known to many as the Stonehenge of Ibiza.
The areas around Ibiza offer further fascinating landscapes. The Benimussa Valley and the Pla de Corona plain are characterized by their rural charm. Besides their country houses and lush olive groves or vineyards, they are especially attractive in winter when thousands of almond trees dress the landscape in white. A visit to the Parque Natural de Ses Salines is also recommended. The salt flats extend south of Ibiza and north of Formentera, with the surrounding sea being home to extensive Posidonia oceanica meadows, which have contributed to the island’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Ibiza’s cultural heritage is concentrated in the upper part of Eivissa, Dalt Vila, considered the best-preserved coastal fortress in the Mediterranean. It is one of those places best discovered through leisurely walks through its streets and squares. The nearby Phoenician village of Sa Caleta and the Puig des Molins necropolis are also part of the UNESCO designation.
