destination Iberian Peninsula
Where to seek out the island’s softer side and singular Balearic beauty
IBIZA UNDER THE SURFACE
To some generations, the Balearic island of Ibiza— located southwest of Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea, just 50 miles off the coast of Valencia, Spain—is known as the party capital of the planet. That rings particularly true during the summer months when hedonistic beach soirees abound and electronic house music pounds from clubs around Ibiza Town and San Antonio. Visitors are often surprised to learn that Ibiza has a far more nature-leaning side, too, where quiet explorations in beautiful villages, peaceful coastal enclaves, and lots of beautiful hiking terrain await.
