Must-Do Hiking Routes in Ibiza
Must-Do Hiking Routes in Ibiza: Nature, Sea, and Unforgettable Views
Ibiza is also meant to be explored on foot. In fact, once you leave the beach and step onto its trails, the island changes: it smells of pine, the sea appears between cliffs, and there are corners that only make sense when discovered on foot. From the Hostal Rosell Boutique team, we share a selection of truly enjoyable routes, with varied landscapes and stops that stay with you long after.
When you choose your accommodation in Ibiza wisely (for example, in a convenient area like San Antonio), it becomes much easier to plan experiences like these: you wake up, have breakfast, head out for a hike… and come back to rest without any hassle.
Route: Cala Portinatx – Cala Xuclar – Cala Xarraca – Cova d’en Jaumet
The starting point at Cala Portinatx takes you to a bay surrounded by pine trees and turquoise waters. The trail gently ascends along forest paths until you reach Cala Xuclar—small, unspoiled, and completely silent, where snorkeling is a must.
Continuing toward Cala Xarraca, you'll discover rocky seabeds and cliffs perfect for stunning photos. The path skirts pebble coves before leading you into Cova d’en Jaumet, a natural shelter with striking rock formations and very few visitors.
A circular route of about 11 km that takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete, with a moderate level of difficulty—gentle but steady elevation changes. It’s the perfect way to connect the three northern coves and explore Cova d’en Jaumet at a relaxed pace, enjoying coastal views and pine forests along the way.
Route: Talamanca Beach – Cala Roja – Cave of the Three Sisters – Pou des Canal de sa Murta
Start at the wide Talamanca Beach, perfect for warming up. The trail winds through wetlands and pine forests until it reaches Cala Roja, a secluded spot with red pebbles where the striking color contrasts invite vibrant photography.
Continue by exploring the Cave of the Three Sisters, known for its stalactites and local history, then gently ascend to the historic Pou des Canal de sa Murta. Each section offers a cultural and natural touch that enriches the experience.
A linear walk of about 12 km round trip, covered in a relaxed 3 hours. The path is mostly flat, with easy rocky sections, and combines beach, wetlands, and a curious cave—perfect for enjoying the sea effortlessly and returning with unique photos.
Route: Sa Caleta – Punta des Jondal – Cala Jondal – Es Xarco
It starts at the Phoenician site of Sa Caleta, with its reddish cliffs. The path runs along the sea until reaching the Punta des Jondal viewpoint, where panoramic views of the southern coast offer unforgettable moments at sunrise or sunset.
You descend toward Cala Jondal, known for its crystal-clear waters and sophisticated atmosphere, then continue along low shrubland trails to the natural viewpoint of Es Xarco. Here, the cliffs provide unique angles.
A circular walk of about 10 km, enjoyed in a relaxed 3 hours. This coastal trail features gentle climbs and connects reddish cliffs, viewpoints, and two small turquoise coves—perfect for savoring southern Ibiza, taking postcard-worthy photos, and finishing with a refreshing dip in Es Xarco.
Route: Calas Corral, Comte, and Codolar
The trail starts at Cala Corral, an oasis of turquoise blue waters and seagrass beds. Access via a dirt track and rocky path offers varied perspectives, where the contrast between pine trees and the sea is spectacular.
Continuing toward Cala Comte, you’ll find natural platforms over the water and panoramic views of smaller islands. Its crystal-clear waters and fine sand make it the perfect spot to capture striking images.
The final stretch leads to the intimate Cala Codolar, with its pebbles and Mediterranean vegetation—a perfect spot to capture the sunset in a timelapse and end the day in complete tranquility. This is a circular route of 9 km, taking about 2 hours and 30 minutes, with an easy to moderate difficulty level.
If you’re looking at a hostal in Ibiza or comparing accommodation options on the island, the most practical choice is having a well-connected base to reach different areas (north, south, east, or west) without losing half the day to travel. At Hostal Rosell Boutique, your boutique hostal in San Antonio Ibiza, you can rest peacefully and head out to explore with the island much closer at hand.
