Your adventure begins in Cala d’Hort, a picturesque cove on Ibiza’s southwest coast.

While following the cliffs above the sea, take in the sunlight reflecting off the water, creating a magical and natural spectacle. Explore one of the caves where a Japanese hippy lived for a decade, adorned with remnants of their stay, including a captivating Shiva mural. Continue along the sand to Sa Pedrera, where you will find unique artwork carved into the cliffs, including serene buddha faces. On calm days, you can choose to swim in the sea or relax in one of the artificial pools near the remnants of an old quarry.
After immersing yourself in the mysterious and captivating energy of Atlantis, make your way back to Cala d’Hort via a different route that winds up the steep cliffs. From the beach and cliffs, enjoy breathtaking views of the island rock formations of Es Vedrà. If time and energy permit, visit the old lookout tower once frequented by pirates for an even more scenic vantage point, perfect for witnessing a stunning sunset over the horizon.
