Sa Talaia

Sa Talaia is the highest point in Ibiza-- a rugged mountain 475 metres high, allowing you to enjoy a nice hike to reach the summit and admire the island views. You can set off on this trail from the church of Sant Josep. Continue along Sa Talaia pathway, 10 km from Sant Josep, where you'll find the Punic-Roman rural settlement of ses Paises de Cala d'Hort--- two necropolises from the Punic and Roman era. Continuing along this trail, you will then head into an aromatic forest. From this point, one can continue following the signs that will indicate how to reach the top of Sa Talaia hill. 
This is an easy route suited to all levels. 

Moscater Lighthouse

On this route, you can test your vertigo threshold by trailing along the coast to reach the Moscater Lighthouse. You can set off at Portixol beach in Portinatx- in northern Ibiza. It will take you about 1.20 hours to complete, and it is a fairly easy trail. The landscapes you'll see are utterly beautiful, with many changing sceneries along the way. You will also find some peculiar camping areas. Overall, it is the perfect route to take in the magical sea views against the Ses Formigues islets.

Cala Longa cove

One can start from Es Castellar, near Calallonga-- between Eivissa and Santa Eulària des Riu. It takes up to 2 hours to complete the trail. It starts strong but soon will pay off with magnificent coastline views as far as the eye can reach. You will be delighted with an explosion of blues and greens, not to mention the fresh air to breathe. You can soak up the sun rays and have a nice swim or sloth away on the beach once you reach Cala Longa cove. From there, you can go along the path that snakes up the cliff for some breathtaking views. You can also reach the Sol d'en Serra cove, which is located very nearby. 

San Antonio to Cala Salada

This is a pleasant trail starting from the port of San Antonio that continues along the promenade onto the coast of the bay, at which you'll find panoramic views of the islet of San Conillera. At the end of the San Antonio area with the famous bars of the "Sunset Strip", you will find Caló des Moro beach-- a favourite spot among tourists, where you can contemplate some of the most magical sunsets on the island. Further on, you can make a stop at the Aquarium of Cap Blanc in the Lobster cave and then reach Gració cove and Gracioneta cove. Further along this seaside route, you will arrive at your last port of call-- Cala Salada-- one of the most beautiful bays and the most Instagrammable place on the island.

Santa Eulalia River

Santa Eulalia River is the only river on the Balearic Islands, which offers a pleasant walking route from the Can Planetes Interpretation Centre, passing by the Pont Vell, until you reach the river's delta at the beach. You can also get the chance to climb up the Puig de Missa in Santa Eulalia and enjoy the magnificent views and several museums there. 

Pla de Corona

Pla de Corona is one of the most popular walks in Ibiza, and the best to do at the end of the winter or in spring when the almond trees start to blossom and visitors can contemplate a scene of absolute beauty. You can set off on this trail from the quaint village of Santa Inés.
