Ibiza is renowned for its crystalline waters and diverse marine life. For fans of water sports, night diving is a truly unique experience in Ibiza. Imagine swimming under the stars and diving into the mysterious depths of the Mediterranean Sea, lit only by the glow of your flashlight. It is impossible not to be wowed at the beauty and tranquility of this nocturnal underwater world. Your Villanovo concierge knows the best diving clubs in Ibiza, and will be delighted to book this unusual activity for you and your loved ones.

Where to go night diving in Ibiza?

Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell

These iconic islets off the southwest coast of Ibiza are home to spectacular night diving. The crystal-clear waters are home to a wide variety of marine life, including colourful fish, octopus and moray eels. Navigating the waters around Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell under the moonlight is a truly magical experience.

Cap des Falco

Located near the beach in Ses Salines Natural Park, Cap des Falco is another popular destination for night diving in Ibiza. The shallow, calm waters here abound with marine life, including starfish, crabs, cuttlefish and lobsters. You may also be lucky enough to spot stingrays and sea turtles during your underwater exploration of Ibiza's rich coastal ecosystem.

Cala d'Hort

This picturesque bay, located west of the charming village of Es Cubells, is renowned for its clear waters and stunning views of Es Vedrà. Night diving at Cala d'Hort offers you the chance to explore colourful coral reefs, underwater caves and diverse marine life beneath nightfall's enchanting beauty. 

Cala Conta

With its turquoise waters and magnificent sunsets, Cala Conta is one of the most picture-perfect spots for night diving in Ibiza. The shallow coral reefs near the coast are teeming with sea life, while the deeper waters offer the chance to spot larger species such as groupers and barracudas.

Punta Galera

This rocky cove, close to San Antonio, is a great place for night diving due to its crystalline water and fascinating rock formations. You can explore the rocks' cracks and crevices, where a variety of fish and crustaceans live, as well as colourful gorgonians and other marine creatures.

Take a sunrise hike in Ibiza

Take a sunrise hike in Ibiza

For adventurous people who are brave enough to leave their beautiful room in their luxury villa at dawn, a morning hike to the summit of Sa Talaiassa is truly an unforgettable experience. This is one of the best ways to see Ibiza all at once. After your hike through fragrant pine trees, Ibiza's highest point will reward you with breathtaking views of the island slowly awakening with the sunrise. The fresh air, peaceful silence and soft morning light create a magical atmosphere that will bathe you in serenity. This is a wonderful moment of communion to enjoy with the whole family and friends. It's far from the only hike in Ibiza where you can connect with nature and discover the island's magnificent landscapes.

Explore hidden caves

Explore hidden caves

If you're looking for unusual things to do in Ibiza, we recommend exploring the hidden caves. The island has plenty of secluded caves and secret coves just waiting to be discovered. Exploring them will add a touch of mystery and adventure to your holiday in Ibiza.

Ask your Villanovo concierge to arrange a boat ride with an experienced crew and set off to discover these hidden gems along the coast. Glide through the mysterious caves in a kayak or on a paddle board, admire the spectacular rock formations and marvel at nature's raw beauty.

What are the most beautiful hidden caves to explore in Ibiza?

Cova de Can Marçà

Located on the north coast of Ibiza, this ancient cave is one of the most impressive on the island. Accessible only by boat or via a steep path, the Cova de Can Marçà boasts spectacular rock formations and impressive stalactites and stalagmites. A guided tour through the cave takes you through narrow passages and jaw-dropping chambers, with breathtaking views of the sea from the cave entrance.

Cova des Culleram

Nestled in the hills near San Miguel Bay, not far from the Sant Joan de Labritja hippy market, the Cova des Culleram is a prehistoric cave that once served as a sanctuary to the Tanitic goddess. Visitors can admire the fascinating archaeological remains, including altars and statues, as well as prehistoric handprints on the cave walls. The mystical and historic atmosphere of the Cova des Culleram makes it a must-see destination for lovers of rich history and culture.

Cova de ses Fontanelles

This impressive sea cave is only accessible by sea, making it an exciting excursion for adventurers. Located near Cala d'Hort beach, the Cova de ses Fontanelles is renowned for its unique rock formations and crystal-clear waters. You can explore the cave by kayaking, paddle boarding or even swimming, to discover its hidden nooks and natural pools.

Cova de Santa Agnès

This small, secluded cave, located near the village of Santa Agnès, is a secret gem in Ibiza. Accessible via a short path through the countryside, the Cova de Santa Agnès offers a peaceful, unspoilt atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Visitors can relax inside the cave and admire the rock formations sculpted by millennia of erosion.

Cova de Can Bernat

Tucked at the foot of the cliffs on Ibiza's west coast, the Cova de Can Bernat is another impressive cave to explore. Accessible only by sea, this cave offers spectacular scenery with its towering rock walls and crystal-clear waters. You can paddle through the cave entrance in a kayak or a paddle board to explore its inner passages and discover its hidden treasures.
