Ibiza is also home to spectacular natural landscapes that offer a serene escape from the tourist bustle.
Let's explore together three of the most important natural parks on the island; our great hidden treasure.
Els Amunts Natural Park
Els Amunts Natural Park stretches over a vast area in the north of Ibiza, offering a haven of serenity away from the more touristy areas of the island.
Accessible by road from San Juan or via trails that meander through the countryside, this park invites visitors to immerse themselves in a preserved natural environment.
Els Amunts offers multiple hiking trails that vary in difficulty, from leisurely strolls to more challenging routes that ascend the rocky hills.
Photography and nature enthusiasts will find countless opportunities to capture the beauty of the landscape and its wildlife.
Additionally, visiting restored old farmhouses provides a window into Ibiza's rural past.
Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell and the Illots de Ponent Nature Reserve
The Es Vedrà Nature Reserve is shrouded in mysticism: this iconic rock is the centre of numerous local legends and is said to be one of the most magnetic places on earth.
Its mysterious presence has been a source of inspiration for many stories and myths, attracting those seeking spiritual experiences or simply admiring its stunning image.
The crystal-clear waters surrounding Es Vedrà and the other islets are home to a rich marine biodiversity: snorkellers and divers can enjoy watching everything from schools of colourful fish to exploring ancient coral reefs.
Given the fragile ecosystem of the reserve, visits are regulated; landing is not permitted at Es Vedrà, and water activities must be undertaken with care so as not to disturb the marine life.
Ses Salines Nature Reserve
From ancient times to the present day, Ibiza's salt flats have been a crucial source of salt for the Mediterranean. This natural park not only protects the salt production areas, but also preserves the coastal habitats that are vital for the local fauna.
The Ses Salines Nature Reserve is a paradise for ornithologists: during the migration months, species such as flamingos, herons and various water birds can be observed. Strategically located observatories allow visitors to enjoy these views without interfering with the animals.
Along the coast of the reserve, there are several beaches of exceptional beauty that offer opportunities to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
These areas are equipped with basic services to ensure a comfortable and environmentally friendly stay.
