Things to do in Illa de Tagomago

In the summer, there’s no better place to be than the Port of Ibiza, which throngs with international visitors disembarking from yachts and people hopping between the famous clubs and bars of the district. Originally built in the 17th century under the Charter of Juan Ponce, the port has been recently upgraded to accommodate the luxury ships that descend on this tiny island throughout the summer months. Spend the day admiring the boats then return at night for a taste of what makes Ibiza so famous.

Talamanca Beach (Playa de Talamanca) is the closest beach to the center of Ibiza Town. The beach boasts gorgeous turquoise waters and pristine white sand framed by a blend of urban and natural landscapes. Talamanca Beach welcomes a varied mix of visitors, from locals that come for a post-work swim to vacationing families and snoozing partygoers. Kick back following a day of sightseeing, dabble in water sports and recharge the batteries prior to dancing the night away at Ibiza’s famous clubs.

The Dalt Vila historic district is a hilltop maze of cobbled lanes and intriguing ruins. Castle walls surround the rustic zone, where you’ll also find the cathedral, a monastery and many other attractions. Enjoy the ambiance of this old-world district, amid family homes and winding streets.

If you had to pick one iconic Ibiza beach, it would be Las Salinas. This long stretch of soft golden sand is backed by a nature reserve filled with pine trees. Las Salinas is unique because of its location adjacent to the large salt flats from which it gets its name. These salt flats are worth a visit in their own right as they have been harvested for salt for hundreds of years. Because of the bay’s proximity, the sea here is particularly salty and makes it delightfully easy for swimmers stay afloat.

The Ibiza Cathedral is a Baroque masterpiece that looms large over the Dalt Vila walled city of Ibiza. Originally constructed in a Gothic design in the 14th century, the church was later restored and converted to its current glory in the 1700s. Admire the somber tone of the façade that stands tall over the church’s namesake plaza.
