The greenest and most authentic Ibiza: pine forests, white villages, rural hotels and hidden coves like Benirràs, Cala Xarraca, Cala d’en Serra and Portinatx. Less nightlife, more nature.
Practical tips for North (Sant Joan, Portinatx)
- At Benirràs there is the drum party at sunset on Sundays: arrive early, the car park is small.
- Winding mountain roads: drive carefully, especially at night.
- Perfect for a different day away from the crowds.
