In the era of Google Maps, Instagram and Wikiloc, there are already few places in Ibiza that can really be called secret. Instead, we should say that special lesser-known places remain, which during the summer become refuges of tranquillity. Coves, forests, ancient sites, routes and even viewpoints are discovered by lively travellers who want to get off of the beaten track. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

First of all, bear in mind that you are not going to discover all the secret spots in Ibiza, unless you take a comprehensive virtual tour of the island via Google Maps. Locals and residents are already wary of sharing their most hidden favourite places for fear that they will become the next fashionable destination in Ibiza<\/strong> to make a pilgrimage to for a photo. Like when a photogenic wooden swing that hung in a spot of Cala Xarraca did the rounds on social media, and this remote and quiet shore on the north of the island began to see long queues of visitors coming to have their photos taken at that unique spot. Spoiler<\/em>: The swing had to be removed.<\/p>\n

Secret spots in Ibiza where to get away from the bustle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cala<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are looking for a relaxed and unfrequented Ibiza, you can find it even in the main summer months. Just get away from the usual recommendations \u2013 even if for a day \u2013 and go out in search of hidden valleys, lonely sunsets (or almost) secluded coves, silent spots\u2026<\/p>\n

Do you like that plan? Well, keep reading…<\/p>\n

\"Es<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Es Portitxol <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no longer a secret only accessible to the northern residents of the island, but still this beautiful wild beach remains a secluded place in Ibiza<\/strong> that only attracts the most active visitors, as reaching it requires walking for about 40 minutes. It is located in the vicinity of the residential estate Illa Blanca and traditionally the people of the area have used it as a natural port for fishing boats. A tip to remember: The ascent on the way back is quite difficult.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cal\u00f3 de s\u2019Illa<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this secluded and unspoiled coastal spot in northern Ibiza you\u2019ll find tranquillity and a panoramic view over the islets of S\u2019Escull, Sa Paella and Illa d\u2019en Calder. You\u2019ll like it especially if you have a passion for snorkelling, so don\u2019t forget your mask. If you don\u2019t like lots of Neptune grass stems, don\u2019t include it on your route, as it has a natural tendency to accumulate on the shore. To get to it you have to walk about 10 minutes along a rough path.<\/p>\n

\"Llentia<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cala d\u2019en Serra<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the north-east of Ibiza, this signposted and well-kept cove is usually quiet and without crowds. But to relax in an even more private space, you can jump into a neighbouring cove on the right which can be reached by swimming for about 100 metres. On the way to the beach, you\u2019ll find the skeleton of a building now covered in graffiti.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pou d\u2019es Lleo<\/strong><\/p>\n

This set of two neighbouring coves are not a secret, but two spaces not visited by bathers much because they are rocky, nothing that some beach shoes and a desire to enjoy an ideal spot for snorkelling can\u2019t fix. Something else: before or after swimming you can try Ibizan seafood<\/a> at two traditional restaurants: Pou des Lleo and Salvado.<\/p>\n

Cala Llentia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neighbouring the pleasant and quiet Cala Codolar cove, you\u2019ll like this small coastal spot if you don\u2019t mind swimming wearing beach shoes and if you wear suitable footwear to descend to the shore without slipping. Two strange art installations await you in the surrounding area, which are no longer a secret<\/strong>:\u00a0 Two doors facing each other, which frame the silhouette of the islet of Es Vedra and a set of basalt columns created by the artist Andrew Rodgers at the request of Guy Lalibert\u00e9, founder of Cirque du Soleil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SA Cap<\/strong>elleta<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind the village of Sant Antoni stands the mount of Sa Talaia, at the top of which is a whitewashed chapel from the mid-twentieth century. From this enclave you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the town, the bay of San Antonio, the islands of Conillera and s\u2019illa des Bosc and, of course, the sunset. Don\u2019t visit wearing flip flops or sandals: The path is not marked and it\u2019s better to walk it using trainers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Es Broll<\/strong><\/p>\n

This narrow valley located about 8 km from Sant Antoni is perfect for a morning hike or cycling route<\/strong>, although in summer it\u2019s best to avoid the hot hours in the afternoon. During the walk you\u2019ll enjoy one of the most unique agricultural landscapes of the island, a direct heritage of the times when the Arabs built terraces, ditches and pools here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Broner House Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishing district of Sa Penya in Ibiza town hides an interesting example of rationalist architecture. Designed by Erwin Broner in 1960, a visit lets you see how the architect managed to synthesise traditional elements of Ibizan architecture in an avant-garde design.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Es Molar Tower <\/strong><\/p>\n

This watch post, also called the Balansat tower, stands near Port Sant Miquel. It was built in the 18th century as part of Ibiza\u2019s coastal defensive system. From the top of the tower, open for free visiting, you can see the nearby islets, the Port de Sant Miquel, the cliffs that protect Cala Benirras and the sunset.<\/p>\n

\"Cala<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ses Pa\u00efsses de Cala d\u00b4Hort<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this ancient site located in the south-west of the island you can enjoy a beautiful and different panoramic view over the islet of Es Vedra<\/strong>, and you can see the remains of two Punic necropoli and an ancient Roman villa and admire the elements of traditional Ibizan farming architecture present in Can Sora, an excellent example of traditional housing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Social Centre of Sant Mateu d\u2019Albarca<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located next to the church of Sant Mateu, this social centre is one of the lesser-known places for visitors and non-residents of the area. In addition to its contemporary design inspired by traditional Ibizan architecture, you\u2019ll find another reason to stop: it has a pleasant terrace where you can eat tapas and homemade dishes at popular prices.<\/p>\n

Sa Pedrera and Cala Aubarca: two (not-so) secret spots to avoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are possibly the two best-known off the beaten track coastal spots for those looking for special places. These enclaves have long since ceased to be unknown spaces where one could be in solitude, and both also share the peculiarity of being the sites for most of the launches of the rescue services on the island<\/strong>. Why? In the case of Sa Pedrera de Cala d\u00b4Hort, also known by the evocative name of Atlantis, the relatively simple descent to the natural pools that form in this old quarry doesn\u2019t warn of the difficult ascent that awaits on the way back, especially for those travellers who are not fit or are not wearing the right footwear. In the case of Cala d\u2019Aubarca, which cannot really be called a cove, it attracts travellers in search of its photogenic and unstable stone bridge, with a return ascent that takes an hour and is not recommended for the summer.<\/p>\n
