Stretching over 572 km2, Ibiza is a small island with many natural areas that can be easily discovered by bike or on foot.

If you are a little more sporty, you can venture on the circuit of Sa Talaia, in the Southwest of Ibiza, which crosses fantastic beaches such as Cala Molí or Cala Tarida. One of the most beautiful mountain bike trails is Camp Bell, which runs through the West of Ibiza, between small valleys, huge fields and typical villages. With family or friends, a bike tour of the island will allow you to explore all the beauties of the island of Ibiza while exercising. A win-win situation!
Far from popular belief, Ibiza is not just about parties and discos. On the contrary, thanks to the hippie community that landed on the island in the 60s, a zen atmosphere now floats in the air.

If you have the opportunity, we advise you to rent a waterfront villa or a property with an ocean view where you can meditate in total privacy in a relaxing atmosphere.
