Are you visiting Ibiza right now or in the near future? Good, then you’re at the right place to get to know some fun activities. When you think about Ibiza, you probably think of party’s, drinks and the sun. Besides the popular party’s and relaxed ambiance is this island full of surprises that not much people know about. Curious about these surprises? Good news, we have put them all below so you can discover it by yourself!

1. Es Vedra / Atlantis

Maybe the most popular sightseeing of Ibiza, the magical island Es Vedra. It is located at the south-west of Ibiza. You can’t reach the island itself because there don’t live any people around there and it has no port, but there is a really nice viewpoint where you can easy get to. As you are driving to the beach named Cala d’Hort, drive through on this way and you will see signposting that are telling you where to find Es Vedra. Eventually you will end up on a sandy road that will lead to a parking place. At this place you will have the option to go to Atlantis or Es Vedra. Atlantis is a beautiful place that is very popular by the hippies of Ibiza. It is much harder to get to with heavy climbing, but it’s worth it. Make sure you have enough water to drink, it will take about 45 minutes to get there. When you are going to the viewpoint of Es Vedra , it’s just a straight road that goes up slightly. If you have reached the viewpoint, you can also climb about 2 meters down to see some hippie caves. The hippie caves are intact and residents say they are still in use. Want to visit Es Vedra or Atlantis? We attached the location of the parking spot below.

6. Abandoned nightclub

Ibiza is known for its party’s, that’s a fact. But did you know this this is Ibiza is a party island since way back? Well, now you know and we have found a place that can confirm this. At the end of the 60’s Ibiza was getting popular by tourists. Not just by hippies but also by mainstream public. The idea to build a large club wasn’t that stupid and in 1972 they opened it’s doors. The club was located in the mountains that was hard to reach. The owners had to build a way by themselves. Although it was hard to reach, that didn’t seem to be a problem. The club was getting much traffic and it was used for different purposes. It was build as amphitheater so it was also used for cabaret-shows and bullfights. Unfortunately in 1974 they had to close it’s doors because of the oil crisis and the increasing flight ticket prices. Now, after almost 50 years, nature has find his way through the concrete. Are walls are full of graffiti and thewhole place is a mess, it’s very special to visit. If you would like to visit this place, make sure you put on sturdy shoes and have your camera with you. If you have a car available it’s quite easy to reach, we have attached the location below.
