Trails

The island on foot and by bike

Winter is hiking season here: cool mornings, empty coves, green valleys. These are the routes locals actually walk, ride and run — with the facts you need and a map link so you can just go.

About Es Vedrà. The famous viewpoint at Torre des Savinar and the "Atlantis" quarry sit on private land that has been fenced since 2025, and parking at Cala d'Hort is restricted. Until that is resolved we don't list them — the best legal views of Es Vedrà right now are from Cala d'Hort beach or the summit of Sa Talaia.

Walking Ibiza in winter

Daylight ends early. From November the sun sets around 17:30. Plan to be off cliff paths by five, and carry a headtorch for sunset walks.
Hunting days. Small-game season runs October to early January. Hunters are out on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, mostly inland. Coastal paths are hunting-free; inland, wear bright colours and keep dogs on a lead.
Respect the land. Much of the countryside is private. Stay on tracks, never climb the dry-stone walls (paret seca), close gates behind you and take everything home.
Where to end up. A handful of village restaurants, bars and fincas stay open all winter and turn a walk into a day — Can Cosmi and Sa Palmera in Santa Agnès, Ses Casetes in Sant Mateu, the Saturday market at Forada, fondue and live music at Can Suldat. We keep them, village by village, under Open in winter.
Pack for it. Nothing is open on most routes outside summer. One to two litres of water, food, proper shoes for loose limestone, and a windproof layer on the north coast.

Prefer company? Ibiza Outdoors (formerly Walking Ibiza) runs donation-based group walks on Sunday and Wednesday mornings, year-round. Sant Josep council runs a free guided walk programme October to June.
