The White Island is a fabulous place if you love walking, as the diverse orography provides trails for all levels, for occasional walkers to advanced hikers. Once the scorching summer temperatures have dropped, it’s the perfect time for walks in Ibiza, from early autumn until late spring.
October, November, April and May are the best months to combine walks and beach, as the mild temperature means you can enjoy a refreshing swim after the hike. And if you go for a walk on a sunny winter day, the coves and beaches on these walks are perfect for a seaside picnic in Ibiza.

Trails you can drive to from the hotel
Es Figueral Trail (#7)
North of Es Canar you’ll find Es Figueral beach, where this high-difficulty hike begins and ends. It’s 19 km and takes about 4 hours, and you do need to be quite fit to cope with the steep slopes. Most of the track is inland, except for a stretch along the coast where you can go for a swim in Canal d’en Martí and Pou des Lleó.
Cala Llonga Trail (#3)
You can stop for a swim and rest at Salt d’en Serrá, Cala Olivera or Cala Llonga along this beautiful walk, which is nearly 10 km long and of medium difficulty. It takes about 2.5 hours, but remember that the slopes become steeper towards the end, so don’t run out of energy before time!
Jesús Trail (#10)
Midway along this medium-difficulty 11.25 km trail you’ll reach the sea, specifically Cala Espart and S’Estanyol. If you like snorkelling and it’s nice weather, take a break here and get your goggles out of the rucksack! Leaving out the time spent in the water, this walk takes 3 hours and starts and ends at the Jesús church, where you’ll find one of the gems of the island’s art heritage: the Gothic altarpiece.
