Caves in Ibiza: The Best Ones to Visit and How to Get There
Caves of Ibiza: 5 Hidden Treasures to Explore
Ibiza is not just about coves and sunsets. If you’re in the mood for a different (and very visual) plan, Ibiza’s caves are a beautiful way to connect with the island’s wilder, more mysterious side: grottos with stalactites, sea caves filled with blue light, and archaeological sites rich in history.
If you want to complete your plan and build a route with more experiences (beaches, viewpoints, boat trips, gastronomy and plans by area), we recommend starting with our guide to what to see and do in Ibiza, where we gather practical ideas to organise your trip according to the number of days you have and the type of travel experience you’re looking for.
And here’s a practical tip to make the plan work perfectly: when organising routes like these, choosing the right accommodation in Ibiza saves you time and energy. Many travellers look for a well-located hotel in Ibiza or a comfortable hostal in Ibiza to get around the island easily (and, if the budget allows, a budget-friendly hotel in Ibiza with good value for money). In that context, San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) usually works very well as a base.
