Discover Ibiza’s Hidden Gems from Hotel Garbi Ibiza & Spa

While Playa d’en Bossa is famous for its vibrant nightlife, world-class DJs, and lively beach clubs, there’s another side of Ibiza that remains untouched by the crowds. From the comfort of Hotel Garbi Ibiza & Spa, you can easily explore the island’s hidden beaches, secret coves, and authentic local spots — places that most tourists never see.

In this guide, we reveal 5 secret excursions in Ibiza you can enjoy during your stay, combining adventure with the comfort of returning to your beachfront hotel at the end of the day.

1. Cala Llentrisca – The Best Kept Secret in the South

Just a 30-minute drive from the hotel, Cala Llentrisca is pure tranquility. With no sunbeds, no bars, and only a handful of fisherman huts, it’s a paradise for those seeking peace and crystal-clear waters.
Insider Tip: Bring water, snacks, and your snorkeling gear — the marine life here is incredible.

2. Es Portixol – A Natural Amphitheatre

Tucked away in the north of the island, Es Portixol is a stunning circular cove surrounded by hills and pine forests. It requires a 30-minute walk along scenic trails, but the reward is a turquoise bay you’ll never forget.
How to get there: Drive to Sant Miquel, follow signs to Isla Blanca, park, and walk the trail down.
Insider Tip: Wear sturdy shoes and start early to avoid the midday heat.

3. S’Estanyol – Serenity with a Local Touch

Only 20 minutes from Hotel Garbi, S’Estanyol Beach offers a mix of calm waters and great dining. Its beach club, Amante Ibiza, is perfect for a gourmet lunch with sea views.
Bonus: Rent a kayak to explore the nearby caves and rocky inlets.

4. Sant Joan Artisan Market

If you’re in Ibiza on a Sunday, the Sant Joan Artisan Market is a must-visit. It’s a colourful blend of handmade crafts, live music, organic food, and local fashion.
Insider Tip: Combine your market visit with a swim at nearby Cala Xarraca for a perfect Sunday escape.

5. Private Boat Trip to Formentera

While Formentera is no secret, avoiding the big ferries changes the experience completely. From Ibiza Town (just 10 minutes from the hotel), you can rent a private boat or sailing yacht to visit Ses Illetes Beach and Caló des Mort before the crowds arrive.
