GETTING AROUND
ACCOMODATIONS
In Ibiza, taxis are a useful way to travel around the towns and visit nearby sites and attractions. Citizens of EU member countries require a national driving license to drive cars in Spain. Citizens from non-EU member countries need an international driving permit as well as their national driving license. Beware of what appear to be shortcuts on maps; these often turn out to be unpaved roads or mountain passes. Lastly, don’t forget, it is an offense not to carry some form of identification, such as passport or driving license.
The finest places to stay are tucked away in quieter locales, where you can meditate and find that inner peace you desire. OKU Ibiza is a luxury retreat with serene swimming pools, plenty of yoga classes, and an inviting menu of fusion cuisine with a great location near beaches, clubs, and restaurants. Nobu Ibiza Bay is poised on the Talamanca bay, giving it sweeping views of the bluest ocean waters on the island. No place on Ibiza offers this kind of luxury in such a laid back, sushi-serving, waterfront hotspot. Six Senses Ibiza is hidden away on a hillside off a winding dirt road. Attention to detail is absolutely unmatched at this magical wellness resort established to rest and unwind at the most sophisticated level. Plenty more are worth
Ibiza offers a variety of culinary delights. The town centers tend to offer street food for hungry clubbers, but away from the main tourist districts, there are restaurants and cafés serving lucious food from all over the world, including traditional Spanish and Ibizan dishes. A favorite lunch spot is the quaint Cala Gracioneta, a beach restaurant in San Antonio, where you will likely hear live music while enjoying their famous paella or cuttlefish croquettes. A romantic dining experience under lights strung between the trees beckons at Aubergine by Atzaró. The restaurant features a farm to table menu with endless delicacies. For the best view of Dalt Vila at sunset, dine at Café Montesol at the Montesol Experimental boutique hotel. Enjoy a truly visual feast and the best wine selection on the island.
As you explore inland, you’ll find the landscape is harsh, dry, and rocky. Discover a pure and simple Mediterranean culture, including the impressions of indigenous populations that inhabited the island thousands of years ago, such as the famous wall paintings of Ses Fontelles. The Cova de can Marcá is also well worth exploring. It is a cave system located above San Miguel bay that is over one hundred thousand years old and was once used by tobacco and liquor smugglers. It’s home to an impressive collection of stalactites and stalagmites. The saltpans of Las Salinas are one of the island’s most popular tourist attractions. Every year, some 2,500 cubic meters of seawater flood a network of manmade channels; the water is then allowed to evaporate under the relentless summer sun, leaving behind a pinky-white salt crust that glistens as the sun sets over it every evening. The result is truly spectacular.
