Local tips
5 things to do on ibiza
During your stay at Finca Can Marti, you’ll find yourself in the tranquil north of Ibiza, a place where life naturally slows down, and where you can experience the island’s true authenticity. Far from the tourist crowds, you’ll discover nature, culture, and a rare kind of peace. But if you’re in the mood to explore, here are our 5 must-see tips for discovering the island.
San Juan sunday market – Authentic and full of local spirit
Every Sunday morning, the quiet village of San Juan comes alive with a vibrant and colourful market. Local artisans offer their handmade goods – from jewellery and ceramics to clothing and organic food. In the afternoon, live music fills the air, usually performed by local bands, creating a joyful and relaxed vibe. You’ll taste delicious local treats and drinks, and soak up the creative, community-driven character of Ibiza’s north.
The market is a weekly gathering for locals and visitors, just a few minutes away from Finca Can Marti.
Tapas in Santa Gertrudis – A culinary gem in the heart of the Island
Santa Gertrudis is a small village in the centre of Ibiza. With its whitewashed houses and artistic atmosphere, it’s definitely worth a visit and it’s also known for its diverse and delicious food scene. Try a classic bocadillo at the iconic Bar Costa or enjoy creative tapas at one of the many local restaurants.
It’s the perfect place to enjoy Ibiza’s culinary delights in a warm and casual setting.
Dalt Vila – Discover the old part of Ibiza town
No trip to Ibiza is complete without a visit to Dalt Vila – the old, fortified part of Ibiza Town. The name literally means “High Town”, and once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with panoramic views over the harbour and the island of Formentera.
But it’s the walk itself that makes it most worthwhile, with its small cobbled streets leading you past the cathedral, the old monasterie, museums, and majestic city gates.
Dalt Vila breathes history, but you’ll also find the modern Ibiza here. Between historic buildings you’ll stumble upon art galleries, small boutiques, and charming restaurants. Take your time for a long lunch or dinner with a view, and enjoy this unique mix of old and new.
Cala Aubarca – A hidden gem for hikers
If you love nature and adventure, the hike to Cala Aubarca is a must. This rough bay is one of Ibiza’s best-kept secrets. On your way down, you’ll pass dramatic cliffs and a natural stone arch that adds a magical touch to the scenery.
There are no beach bars or buildings – only sea, silence, and stunning views. Make sure to bring water, snacks, and good hiking shoes. The climb is challenging, but the experience and the view are well worth the effort.
A day at sea – Sailing with Bohemian Boat Charters
From the nearby bay of Benirras, you can set off on a coastal adventure, without a boating licence. Bohemian Boat Charters offers traditional Ibicencan fishing boats (llauts) that you can navigate yourself. Cruise along rocky coastlines, discover quiet coves, or dive into the crystal-clear water to snorkel.
It’s a wonderful way to experience the magic of Ibiza from the sea. No rush, no agenda – just sun, sea, and freedom. Bring a picnic, a bottle of local wine, and let the day take you wherever the water flows.
