However, don't be fooled by the tranquillity – the North has its own array of captivating attractions waiting to be discovered. In this guide , we showcase the ten most captivating destinations in this region.
Vibrant Hippy Markets
Renowned worldwide for their vibrant array of stalls adorned with vivid colours, these markets offer a diverse range of items, from jewellery and apparel to trinkets and keepsakes. The North hosts two iconic and perhaps the finest hippy markets – Las Dalias in San Carlos, a year-round Saturday market, and a night market on Mondays during the summer. The Punta Arabi Hippy Market in Es Canar takes place every Wednesday from May to October.
Ibiza Horse Valley
Just beyond the charming village of San Joan lies the Ibiza Horse Valley, a sanctuary for horses. Embark on scenic treks through the North's breathtaking countryside, allowing you to truly experience this region. Managed as a charity, this sanctuary offers a haven for nine horses rescued from neglect and maltreatment. Suitable for riders of all skill levels and ages.
Can Marçà Caves in San Miguel
Once utilised by smugglers to transport their illicit treasures, these caves now captivate visitors with their awe-inspiring formations of stalactites and stalagmites, alongside magnificent sea vistas.
Tanit Goddess of Love Statue
Honouring Ibiza's patron saint, the statue of Tanit, the Goddess of Love and fertility, graces the picturesque village of St. Vicente. Local legends suggest that a visit to this statue could aid couples facing fertility challenges.
Walking Ibiza
Guided walking tours are gaining popularity across the island, providing a fantastic opportunity to uncover hidden trails and secrets that may remain undiscovered on your own. Numerous tour companies offer guided walks throughout the year.
Breathtaking Beaches
The North boasts some of the island's most exquisite beaches. From the roaring waves of Aguas Blancas to the tranquil turquoise waters of Cala Xarraca, don your swimsuit and explore these concealed coves and bays.
Ball Pages Traditional Dance
