Day one

Go to a market: After a tasty breakfast either in your catered luxury villa, where chefs will be delighted to serve you as you please, or in a local restaurant such as Honest Bar, which offers delicious vegan food, head to one of Ibiza’s renowned hippy markets. Las Dalias, which has been a saturday go-to since 1985 is perhaps the most famous one due to its incomparable charm and authenticity. There you will find all sorts of things such as colourful clothing, bracelets and much more.

Get carried away by the wind with a thrilling activity: Head to one Ibiza’s most beautiful beaches such as Cala Tarida to practice some watersports. Waterskiing, jet skiing, scuba diving Ibiza has it all! For those who aren’t keen on water related activities, why not try some horse riding or cycling around the beautiful country side of Ibiza?

Have some sangria in a beach bar: A post-exercise drink has to be on the cards to start your evening perfectly. Villanovo recommends El Chiringuito on the private beach of Cala Gracioneta, in the south of Ibiza to enjoy some sangria with your loved one or with your friends.

Taste the Spanish gastronomy: Finish on a high note by going to one of the island’s most exquisite restaurants to taste the fine spanish gastronomy such as Cotton beach Club, on the hills of Cala Tarida, for an ultra-luxurious meal in a sophisticated atmosphere. This elite restaurant is held by Chef Federico Garcia who ensures real explosions of taste.

Day two

Pamper yourself: Before the sun reaches its highest point of the day, treat yourself to some pampering and relaxing at one of our spa villas. We recommend Villa 856, on the eastern side of Ibiza, for a full spa treatment before taking a long walk on one of Ibiza’s white sandy beaches.

Reach total zenitude with some yoga: As an alternative to the spa, or complementary, perhaps after the spa, why not immerse yourself completely in the Ibizan culture by practicing some yoga? This can be done either by renting one of our yoga villas in Ibiza or taking a yoga class such as Pure Om in Santa Eulalia.
Trek up the island: After a relaxing lunch at one of Ibiza’s traditional beach restaurants, tighten your shoes and go on a hike around the island, to admire breathtaking views and take a breath of fresh air. Villanovo particularly enjoys the Sant Josep de Sa Talaia hike, which leads to the highest point of Ibiza.

Witness the sun descend into the ocean: To end your trip perfectly, head to one Ibiza’s most astonishing sunset viewpoints for a sight you are not to forget, as well as the little escapade you have just been on!
