Travelers looking for the world’s biggest parties tend to flock to the tiny Spanish island of Ibiza where world-renowned DJs play electronic music until the wee hours of the morning. But the island off the coast of Valencia and Barcelona has a lot more to offer than rousing parties and crazy nights followed by hazy mornings. If partying isn’t on your agenda, here are a few other ways to enjoy Ibiza.
Rent a car and roam the island. Hidden coves and less-crowded beaches can be found around the perimeter of the island and make for pleasant daytrips from Ibiza Town. Pull over at unique tourist attractions like Es Vedra, an island with a mythical history, or the hippie markets in business since the 1960s.
Venture to Formentera. Leave the crowds of Ibiza Town behind and take a 35-minute ferry ride to the smallest Balearic Island for stunning, less-populated beaches.
Book a spot on a yoga retreat. Whether you’re a beginner yogi or eager to get your teacher certification, the island’s yoga studios offer a plethora of options to get your zen on, including a combination yoga-adventure retreat from Wild Soul Retreats.
Explore Ibiza Town on foot. Ibiza Town’s Old Town combines Moorish and medieval architecture throughout its streets and atop its highest peak where the UNESCO site of Eivissa Castle overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.
