Dalt Vila
Dalt Vila was first settled by the Phoenicians, and later by succeeding waves of invaders. The city’s cobblestone streets, stone mansions, and — mostly notably — its rare, imposing 16th-century fortified walls make it an important piece of ancient history. It is perhaps a bit counterintuitive that this historical place is home to the small but mighty Ibiza Contemporary Art Museum. Modern art hangs on the walls above a glass floor that showcases archaeological artefacts.
Stonehenge
Nope, not that Stonehenge, although this quirky art installation takes its inspiration from that prehistoric monument in England. Paid for by the billionaire who founded Cirque du Soleil, this large-scale public work comprises 13 basalt columns that weigh 420 tons each, plunked atop a cliff. If the art doesn’t impress you, the view will.
Go Beach Hopping
If you’re on Ibiza, you probably came for the beaches — and you have your pick of vibes. Join the crowds on popular Platja de Ses Salines, a sandy curve of coast whose placid waters are dotted with sailboats. Head over to Sa Caleta, a cliffside cove, for a more secluded feel and to view 7th-century ruins. Cala Xarraca, with its calm, clear waters, is an ideal snorkeling spot with a natural mud bath nearby.
