Did you know that Ibiza does not only allude to strobe-lit nocturnal nightclubs? Did you know that Ibiza has a whole world outside of the four walls of your favourite techno crypt? Did you know that the island offers fourteenth century castles and magnetic rocks that reach four-hundred-and-thirteen metres into the sky?
Here are 7 unmissable places that will show you the authentic and surprising side of Ibiza.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, Dalt Vila is the fortified “Upper Town” that overlooks Ibiza’s main port.
The cobblestone streets wind up the hill to the castle, offering views that have remained unchanged for centuries. Laundry billowing from balconies reminds visitors that this isn’t just a tourist spot—it’s still home to a lively local community.
The authenticity of Dalt Vila is truly captivating: a medieval town still alive with Spanish traditions.
Hidden and difficult to reach, Atlantis is a sandstone quarry carved centuries ago to build the fortifications of Dalt Vila.
Getting there requires descending a near-vertical sandy cliff, but once you arrive, the surreal rock formations and small shaded alcoves feel like another world.
Tip: bring extra water and watch out for jellyfish on your swim breaks!
Es Vedrà is one of the three most magnetic places on Earth (after the North and South Poles).
Nobody knows why this rock formation radiates such strong magnetic energy, but it has long been surrounded by myths and legends. Pack a picnic and enjoy the spectacular sunset while coming up with your own theories about this mysterious landmark.
Just below Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s port doubles as an outdoor shopping centre. Its narrow streets are lined with boutiques, designer shops, and artisan stalls.
It’s the perfect place to browse souvenirs, discover unique local fashion, and soak in the island’s chic Mediterranean atmosphere.
On the northern coast, Cala Xarraca is a hidden cove that feels untouched by mass tourism.
The winding road that descends to the beach is already a hint of its exclusivity. Once there, the pristine waters and rugged landscape will leave you speechless.
Ibiza’s hippie spirit is still alive and well. At Punta Arabí you can explore colourful stalls filled with bohemian jewelry, handmade clothes, vegan food, and much more.
The market is not just shopping—it’s a cultural experience. Meet the modern hippies who continue to live by the same alternative lifestyle that first drew them to Ibiza in the 1960s.

n the far north of the island lies Cala d’en Serra, a horseshoe-shaped bay with turquoise waters and soft white sand.
It’s worth renting a car to get there: besides the stunning beach, you’ll also find the abandoned structure of an unfinished hotel, now overgrown with wildflowers. A haunting but beautiful sight that adds to the unique character of this secluded paradise.
These 7 destinations prove that Ibiza is far more than its famous nightlife. From historic towns and mystical rocks to hidden coves and bohemian markets, the island has endless treasures waiting to be discovered.
