2. Atlantis Ibiza, The Hidden Cove
Atlantis, also known as the “Secret Beach,” is one of those rare places that doesn’t show up on most maps and is notoriously difficult to reach. Nestled in the natural reserve of Cala d’Hort, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Es Vedrà islet, Atlantis is one of Ibiza’s best-kept secrets. Once a haven for free-spirited hippies, today it has evolved into a serene natural pool, where many visitors come to soak in the mystical energy of the place, often using the setting for spiritual retreats or meditative sessions. Without a doubt, it’s one of the island’s most magical spots, where the sense of peace and enchantment is palpable—making it an unmissable destination for those seeking both beauty and serenity.
3. Time and Space: Ibiza’s Own Stonehenge
Time and Space, often referred to as the “Ibizan Stonehenge,” is a striking monument that forms part of a global art project featuring sculptures across 16 countries. This solar clock is arranged in a way that mirrors the planetary alignment around the sun, creating a cosmic feel that makes it a truly unique landmark on the island. One of Ibiza’s most epic spots, it offers not only a fascinating glimpse into artistic expression but also breathtaking views and the perfect photo opportunity. If you’re seeking a place that combines culture, history, and a touch of mystery, Time and Space is a must-visit—and a must-capture—for any traveler.
4. The Can Soleil Gates
Not far from the Time and Space installation, you’ll find the Puertas de Can Soleil (Can Soleil Gates), another spot that has become a must-see for visitors and photography enthusiasts. This picturesque location offers one of the best views of Es Vedrà, the iconic islet that has captured the hearts of travelers and photographers alike. With the right angle, the gates frame the dramatic rock formation in the distance, creating a striking visual contrast that’s perfect for your Instagram feed. Take your time to find that perfect shot—the effort will definitely be worth it!
5. Sa Caleta Beach
Another incredibly Instagrammable spot on the island is Sa Caleta Beach. This hidden gem is surrounded by dramatic red cliffs that create a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The vibrant contrast of the red rocks against the turquoise waters makes it one of the most visually striking beaches in Ibiza. For the best photos, head to the top of the cliffs where you can capture breathtaking panoramic views of the bay below. Just a word of caution—while the views are stunning, be sure to stay safe and avoid getting too close to the edge. Your photos will be worth the extra care!
6. The Swing at Cala Xarraca
One of the most Instagrammable spots on the island is undoubtedly the Swing at Cala Xarraca. Known for its crystal-clear waters, lush nature, and serene atmosphere, Cala Xarraca is a true haven of tranquility. But what truly sets it apart is the striking swing that hangs over the sea. Yes, you read that right—a swing suspended above the water! In just a few years, this unique spot has become a favorite among visitors, offering one of the most iconic photo opportunities on the island.
