Sant Carles and the northeast coast
The route begins in the picturesque village of Sant Carles de Peralta, surrounded by fields and tranquility. From there, rural paths lead through the authentic inland Ibiza, with traditional farmhouses and Mediterranean nature.
The route connects with coves such as Mastella and Boix, spots where the blue sea contrasts with the cliffs and vegetation. It is a perfect plan for those looking for a relaxed bike ride.
The most special point is the Torre des Campanitx, an old coastal watchtower. From the top, the views of the islet of Tagomago make the route unforgettable.
From Port des Torrent to the Torre d’en Rovira
Starting from Port des Torrent, this easy route follows the coastline through pine forests and gentle paths. It is an ideal journey to enjoy the natural landscape of the island’s west at a leisurely pace.
Along the way, coves such as Cala Bassa, famous for its crystal-clear waters, stand out, as well as small hidden beaches that surprise at every turn. The sea breeze accompanies the entire route.
The end of the route is the Torre d’en Rovira, from where you can admire the islets and a spectacular sunset. A simple and truly Mediterranean experience.
Pla de Corona (Santa Agnès)
El Pla de Corona is a valley surrounded by almond trees and vineyards, perfect for a bike ride. The circular route is easy and peaceful, ideal for the whole family.
During winter, the blooming almond trees paint the landscape white, creating a unique scene in Ibiza. In summer, the calm of the area invites you to explore it at a leisurely pace.
A must-do is to climb the Ses Portes del Cel viewpoint, where the cliffs and the sea offer an impressive panorama.
Es Broll de Buscastell
A short but charming route. The Es Broll valley is a green oasis with irrigation channels and gardens of Arab origin, where water flows among the vegetation.
The route is easy and accessible, with just 2.5 km of flat paths. Ideal for combining a bike ride with a cultural journey through Ibiza’s agricultural history.
The landscape changes with the seasons, but in spring, with the valley in full bloom, it is a magical place.
How to keep an “easy” route easy
Review the entire route, not just the distance: elevation gain, surface conditions and traffic can greatly affect how difficult it feels.
In summer, avoid the middle of the day, carry enough water and protect your head and skin from the sun.
If you are using a city or hybrid bike, make sure the route does not include technical sections or very rough trails.
With an e-bike, check the battery range and surface conditions; electric assistance does not make a technical trail easy.
Respect authorised paths, private property and local signage, and adapt your pace to the actual conditions.
Sant Antoni as a base for combining routes in the west and inland areas
If you plan to cycle for several days, the key is choosing a comfortable base. San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) is practical for its location and services, and from there you can easily reach both the west coast and the inland areas.
If you’re comparing hotels in Ibiza, look for a place that’s well connected, peaceful for resting, and has a team that can recommend routes based on your level. At Hostal Rosell Boutique, your boutique hostal in San Antonio Ibiza, we’re happy to help with route ideas and plans to fill your day. Check availability and book directly to plan your cycling getaway at a relaxed pace.
FAQs
Which cycling routes in Ibiza are suitable for a relaxed ride?
Within this selection, Pla de Corona, the area around Es Broll de Buscastell, Sant Carles with the north-east coast, and the area from Port des Torrent towards Torre d’en Rovira can all fit a relaxed cycle touring plan. The difficulty always depends on the specific route, surface conditions and elevation gain.
Which of the four routes is the easiest?
Pla de Corona is the option with the clearest relaxed profile. Ibiza Travel mentions an approximately 11 km circular route through this area that is almost entirely flat, making it well suited to recreational cyclists who are more interested in scenery than sporting challenge.
Can these routes be done with an electric bike?
Yes, an e-bike can be a good option for relaxed routes, but it is advisable to check the surface conditions, battery range and elevation gain beforehand. Electric assistance helps on climbs, but it does not turn a technical or uneven trail into an easy route.
Are these routes suitable for beginners?
They can be, provided that easier variants are chosen and the route is checked beforehand. Distance alone does not determine the difficulty: elevation gain, surface conditions, traffic and the state of the terrain also play a role.
