Activities, Ibiza
Beach life wouldn’t quite be the same in Ibiza without its wide variety of water sport activities. Windsurf or wakeboard on your holiday to Ibiza, or try out the hoverboard experience and experience the true wonders that the calm waves bring. If you prefer land over sea, venture to Golf Club Ibiza, for an active day in the sun, with a little healthy competition. Ibiza only has one golf resort, but Golf Ibiza certainly makes up for it, with its tasty on-site cuisine and perfect-putting territory.
Boat Trips
Uncover Ibiza’s hidden treasures on secluded boat trip tours to San Antonio and to many other fantastic resorts dotted along Ibiza’s coastline.
Sail across the aqua waters on the Captain Nemo boat, which offers its guests spectacular views of the ocean floor through the glass window that’s fitted within the boat’s decked flooring. There are two exciting excursions to choose from; one centred around swimming and taking a dive into the ocean and the other offering a party day out, with a complimentary drink as you arrive.
Hop on an Aquabus Ferry Tour to Ibiza town and Formentera, offering spectacular coastline views that a bus tour just cannot compete with. If you’re more of a thrill seeker, a 360 boat ride with Take Off Ibiza should be at the top of your holiday agenda. Sing along to the tunes blasting from the boat sound system as you skim across the sea waters, and experience spectacular scenery along the way.
Dalt Villa
There are plenty of activities to experience on an Ibiza holiday. Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s Old Town is an eclectic mix of beauty, culture and history. Pack your walking shoes ahead of your holiday, ready to wear on a trip to Dalt Vila with its cobbled streets, narrow paths and authentic draw bridge. The main entrance can’t be missed, situated at the top of the steep slope as you approach.
Discover secret courtyards, original art galleries, private chapels, quirky craft shops and the majestic harbour. What’s even more spectacular about this charming town is the events held here. Venture to the open air cinema, where you can watch the latest previewed films while you soak up the sun. There are also plenty of lively bars dotted around Dalt Vila to sip a glass of beer or sangria, as well as an array of fantastic gourmet restaurants.
Golf
What could be better than putting a hole in one, while basking in the Ibiza sun? A lot of locals don’t actually partake in the sport, so the resorts are specifically designed for part-time, tourist golfers who are looking for a relaxing but exciting day out.
Cala Llonga is home to The Roca Lisa Golf Course – the fantastic 27-hole golf course and driving range founded in 1992. Simply visit the reception and rent carts, clubs and golf bags for free and then take to the grassy course and showcase your best swing. Golf Ibiza is also a great find for golf lovers, recently taken over by AzuLinehotels hotel chain. As well as a great stretch of land to play on, this spectacular golf course serves fine cuisine in the resort restaurant, Hoyo 19.
Scuba diving
