Day 1: Learn about the history and culture of the island.
Morning: Visit Dalt Vila and Ibiza’s historic center
Your first day in Ibiza can be ideal to immerse yourself in its historical and cultural richness. We suggest you start your tour in Dalt Vila, the walled city that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Its streets look like something out of a fairy tale, they are cobbled and the area is full of viewpoints from where you can enjoy a unique panoramic view of the Mediterranean.
We recommend not to miss the Cathedral of Santa Maria and the local museums where you can learn about the centuries of history and civilizations that have passed through the island.
Afternoon in Santa Gertrudis and its bohemian atmosphere
After touring the history of Dalt Vila, the afternoon is perfect to discover Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, one of the most charming villages of Ibiza.
This small corner, located in the center of the island, stands out for its bohemian atmosphere, its art galleries and its main square, where travelers and locals gather to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
There you can stroll among craft stores, visit creative spaces and taste the Ibizan gastronomy in its bars and restaurants, famous for its ham sandwiches with local bread.
Its quiet and authentic atmosphere makes it an essential stop for those looking to get to know the most traditional and cultural Ibiza.
Day 2. Visit and get lost in hidden coves and beaches.
Relaxing morning in a quiet cove
We believe that the second day in Ibiza is designed to enjoy its greatest treasure: the sea. That’s why we suggest you to visit some of its hidden coves and beaches, which seem to be taken from a postcard.
We have a hard time choosing among them all, but if you can only visit one, perhaps it is Port de Ses Caletes, as it preserves its traditional fishing atmosphere. There you can find the perfect combination of relaxation, crystal clear waters and views of the old fishermen’s huts.
Afternoon at a Beach Club
In the afternoon, after lunch, a Beach Club is ideal to take a nap in a hammock under the shade of an umbrella and take advantage when you wake up to have an Aperol, a beer or a drink.
In addition, when the night approaches, you will be able to taste typical Mediterranean food with the sound of the waves in the background. And if you like to party, what better than to do the pre-party here, as many Beach Clubs offer live music and parties until midnight.
A night of partying and fun
If you have not finished exhausted after a whole day at sea, because yes, even if it seems that we do nothing, the sun tires. We believe that the second day, and even more if you combine it with a Beach Club first, is the perfect day to party and get to know the authentic Ibizan night.
You will find discos of all kinds: from the most luxurious clubs, to pool parties, foam parties and the best techno music. Here we bring you a complete guide so you can choose the one that best suits your style.
Day 3. Discover the hippy markets and small villages of the island.
Morning in the most picturesque villages of the island.

We recommend a stroll through San Joan de Labritja, a quiet and traditional enclave, where every Sunday there is a traditional market that attracts both locals and tourists looking for organic products, live music and a bohemian atmosphere.
Another village of Ibiza that you can not miss is Sant Carles, where you can still breathe the most authentic Ibiza. It was here where the first hippies fell in love with the island in the 70s and its white church and its surrounding area full of cafes and restaurants make it a magical place.

Spending the afternoon touring Ibiza’ s hippie markets is an essential experience to get to know the alternative soul of the island. These markets, which were born in the 60s and 70s with the arrival of the bohemian community, are still today a meeting point between cultures, music and crafts.
Among the most famous is the Las Dalias market in Sant Carles, open all year round and full of stalls with handmade clothes, unique jewelry, exotic decoration and a vibrant atmosphere accompanied by concerts and shows.
Another must is the Punta Arabí flea market in Es Canar, considered the largest in Ibiza, where you will find hundreds of artisans and artists showing their creations.
