Ibiza Sights

Aguamar waterpark

If you are looking for a splashtastically fun way to spend a day in the sun, head on over to Aguamar Waterpark in Ibiza’s Playa d’en Bossa. Home to white knuckle waterslides and chutes, this is a thrilling day out for the whole family to enjoy.

There is a children’s play area for the little ones who may be a bit too small for the serious slides, ensuring everyone can have a good time. Showers and first aid can be found within the park.

If you don’t fancy getting your feet wet during your trip to Aguamar Waterpark that’s fine, too. There are plenty of sun loungers to lay back on and parasols to keep you safe from the sun’s rays. Just lay back by the pool and watch the rest of the family play. There’s also a restaurant and café on site, so you can replenish your energy levels after a day of fun.

Aquarium Cap Blanc

Located in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Aquarium Cap Blanc is a fantastic, fun and educational place to take the kids during your Ibiza holiday. Here, you can view a varied range of exotic ocean life, from octopi, various rays, fish and other marine creatures, all in their natural underwater habitat.

Walk over the waters and look down to see a wide range of sea life. There’s an enormous number of colourful fish to be spied and children can spend hours watching the fish swimming in and out of the cavern.

Aquarium Cap Blanc runs underground, so visitors are treated to a truly unique experience like no other on the island. This underground cavern also has a small bar, with a terrace, so you can enjoy a refreshing drink overlooking the sea after viewing the sea life. It can be reached very easily from San Antonio, either by bus or taking a stroll along the coastline.

Atlantis Beach

Often referred to as “the hidden beach”, Atlantis Beach is one of the most secluded sights all of Ibiza. However, it is also one of the most beautiful locations to be found anywhere in the world. Several centuries ago, rock from this beach was quarried to create the homes in Ibiza, as well as the Dalt Vila, so today Atlantis Beach is home to many unusual rock formations.

It is not the easiest location to access and requires visitors to climb down a rather steep, rocky hillside and steep sand. Nonetheless, if you are able to overcome this minor hurdle, the view and experience is more than worth it. The ocean off Atlantis Beach are a breathtaking aquamarine colour.

The term ‘beach’ may not be the most appropriate for this sight; there is no sandy shore or obvious way to access the coastline, but for unparalleled ocean views, there is nowhere better.

Can Marca Caves

Located in Port de Sant Miguel, the Can Marca Caves are the perfect way to escape the Ibiza heat. These underground caverns are spookily beautiful, illuminated by various colours, you can study the various formations of stalactites and stalagmites and absorb the Can Marca Caves’ unique atmosphere.

Guided tours point out the most interesting areas and also provide you with historical information on the caves. Can Marca Caves have a rich history as they were originally used by smugglers to store their contraband goods – the marks they used to guide the ships in at night are still on the walls.

Can Marca Caves also offer spectacular views of the ocean and is open throughout the year, so whenever you are visiting Ibiza, you can take in a tour. Don’t miss your chance to visit this truly historical and magical location. The caves can be easily reached from Puerto San Miguel by car, bus or on foot.

Ibiza Cathedral

If you are looking for somewhere to binge on culture and history while you are on holiday, then make time to visit Ibiza Cathedral. Sitting at the top of the fortified area in the Old Town, the Cathedral is visible from miles away, but it is worth making the effort to get a close up look at it.

Also known as “The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Snows”, the structure was completed in the 16th century and became a Cathedral in the 18th century after it was significantly refurbished. Before it was built, the area was previously used a Temple by Carthaginians in the 7th century.

It is still used as a place of worship today and can even be booked to host weddings. There are multiple works of art inside, including two Gothic paintings by Francesc Cornes that date back to the 14th Century.

Playa Es Cana Harbour

Playa Es Can Harbour is a quaint harbour located on the southern side of the beach. It is one of Es Cana’s main attractions, providing visitors with a peaceful and picturesque place to visit.

From Playa Es Can Harbour, you can take a ferry service to other areas in Ibiza including Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia. The ferries also run trips to some of the island’s most loved beaches. Glass bottom boat tours also run from here. If you’d rather stay on dry land, you can take a leisurely stroll around the harbour and watch the various boats pull in and head out to sea.
