Driving routes in Ibiza
Ibiza on wheels: driving routes to discover the island’s most natural side
From the Hostal Rosell Boutique team, we invite you to discover the most natural side of Ibiza behind the wheel: pine-lined roads, hidden viewpoints, and coves that feel like secrets. It’s the island of changing colors, from deep blue to the golden hues of sunset.
South of salt and dunes
We set off towards Sant Josep to enter the Ses Salines Natural Park via a paved and well-marked road. The route offers views of ponds and salt mounds, with moderate traffic in summer.
From the Ses Salines and Es Cavallet parking areas, there are short walkways to observe the lagoons and direct access to the beach. Bring water and sun protection; there is little shade during midday hours.
Key moment: stop at Cap des Falcó for a quick panoramic view and photo. The return via Sa Caleta adds reddish cliffs and easy access before heading back to San Antonio.
West of cliffs and sunset
Today’s plan takes us along the west coast. Skirting the bay, it connects Cala Salada, Cala Bassa, and Cala Comte. These are short stretches, with regular parking areas and clear access; it’s best to arrive early in high season.
Add Cala d’Hort for a view of Es Vedrà. If you feel like it, take a short trail to the Torre des Savinar with comfortable shoes and a bottle of water. Stops of 20–40 minutes work well.
Highlight of the day: sunset from Comte or d’Hort. Return with enough daylight via Sant Josep and, if you’d like to have dinner, there are options along the way or upon arrival in San Antonio.
Wild North: Es Amunts
For a relaxed day, head up through Santa Gertrudis and Sant Miquel to the Port of Sant Miquel. Secondary road with curves and good surface; parking is available by the port.
Visit the Cova de Can Marçà (regular tours) and continue to Portinatx. From the village, the path to the Moscarter Lighthouse is easy, well-marked, and offers wide views.
Favorite stretch: the area around the lighthouse for its panoramic views of the northern coast. End with a swim at Cala Xarraca or S’Illot des Renclí before returning at a relaxed pace.
Interior agrícola y almendros
If the sea is rough, the inland route is a safe bet. Santa Agnès and Sant Mateu offer gentle curves, stone walls, and shade. Ideal for half a day and windy days.
Park near the church of Santa Agnès and walk to the viewpoint. In winter, you’ll see almond trees in bloom; the rest of the year, fields and pine forests. Wineries and small bars make for a pleasant stop.
Star viewpoint: sa Penya Esbarrada (“Gates of Heaven”), offering wide views of the coast and forest. End in Santa Gertrudis for a coffee and an easy return to San Antonio.
Can you imagine exploring Ibiza at your own pace, watching sunrises on quiet coves, and returning to sleep just steps from the beach? Book your stay at Hostal Rosell Boutique and enjoy your routes with the comfort of a boutique hotel in San Antonio: the perfect base, local tips, and everything within reach.
