Take a short trip away from Ibiza's crowded resorts, and you will find some enchanting and unspoilt places, ideal for a relaxing holiday, even a second or retirement home.
West of the capital city, Eivissa, is the pretty village of Porroig. Every year, thousands of yachtsmen are attracted to its huge bay and sheltered harbour. It also attracts visitors who want to see an unspoiled Ibizan fishing village. To wander around Poirriig is a delight, breathing in the sea air and delighting in the all-year sunshine, admiring the whitewashed houses. When you're tired of strolling, there are many typical restaurants here, which offer fish that was swimming around just a few hours ago.
Further around the coast is Cala Moli. This quiet cove is less accessible than the resorts either side, Cala Vardella and Cala Tardia. Cala Moli is the perfect place to visit, or in which to buy a second home, for people who want to enjoy authentic Ibiza. A short walk away from the beach takes you into hills and pine trees, where you feel as though you are the first visitor or hundreds of years. Cala Moli is close to the island of des Bosc, from where you can experience magnificent sunsets at any time of the year. The view of des Bosc from San Antonio is a constantly changing delight.
Ibiza's north coast is so untouched by the modern world that you will forget that some of Europe's loudest night clubs are just an hour's drive away. The sparkling sea washes, or crashes, on to the coves and cliffs, as it has done for thousands of years. All-year sunshine makes this the ideal place to buy property, either for a second home or somewhere to retire. Here, you can have an undisturbed life in tranquillity, but just a short drive from all amenities.
Ibiza's east coast boasts it's gastronomic and cultural centre. Santa Eulalia, the island's third-largest resort, has attracted artists, writers and musicians for many years. The town is host to many art galleries, museums and some of the island's top restaurants. Take a stroll around Santa Eulalia and you will be immersed in its laid-back atmosphere, a world away from the thumping beats of the capital's night clubs. Just inland from the vibrant resort there are plenty of properties in secluded surroundings, where residents have the best of both worlds: tranquillity at home, but within minutes of the sea, sand and Ibiza's best gastronomy.
The pretty bay of Talamanca offers spectacular views of Ibiza town, and a walk from here to the capital is a wonderful experience. It's lovely promenade leads to a 15-minute walk along the shore to Eivissa. But don't leave too soon. Sit at one of the typical bars and enjoy the ever-changing view across the bay, eat some home-made bread and locally-caught fish with a glass of island wine.
The capital itself has many delights, away from the tourist centres. Its marina is largely untouched by the hordes, so is ideal for a wander around, before sitting down for more food and wine. There are nearby beaches which have yet to be discovered by visitors, perfect for families with children who just want a quiet time. The unspoilt coastal spots of Ibiza are ideal for a second or retirement home.
