Ibiza for couples: Romantic things to do

One of the finest ways to appreciate Ibiza’s coastline is by taking a circular 5km walking route from Santa Agnes. The route takes you over high cliffs, through dense forest and past coastal trails that feel hidden from the rest of the island. You and your partner will feel like you have this stunning natural area all to yourselves, as you pass through fields of almond trees and past abandoned farmhouses. Not only does this hike keep you on your toes, but it allows you to see one of the most scenic parts of Ibiza, filled with juniper bushes, fields of vines and more. Just follow the blue arrows to stay on track.

On the southern part of the island lays a little-known beach called Cala Llentrisca. It’s a secluded bay, thanks to the pine-clad slopes, which makes the beach feel separated from the rest of the island. Cala Llentrensca is located in a pretty swanky spot, not far from the luxury modern villas that cluster the area just before the beach. In fact, it’s so exclusive that a guard will need to let you through (you only need to tell them where you’re going). While there’s not much to do here, that’s the beauty of it: you and your partner can feel like you’re in your own little world as you simply enjoy the sun, the translucent waters and each other’s company, before returning back to reality.

Formentera is the smallest of the Balearics and lies just 28km from Ibiza. You can easily reach the island by speed boat, rib or catamaran; yet there’s something undoubtedly romantic about chartering a yacht to take you there. This romantic trip is perfect for couples seeking a memorable excursion together. And once you reach Formentera, you’ll be swept off your feet by its small-scale charm, white-sand beaches and paradise feel. Hire bikes and make the most of the cycle paths, check out the Bronze Age Barbaria peninsula ruins and head to Platja Illetes, which is undoubtedly one of the best beaches on the Balearics, let alone Formentera.

While Ibiza is famed for its party scene, it also boasts a burgeoning food scene with many a tempting menu to choose from. Be sure to try bullit de peix (fish stew with rice), the island’s signature dish, and plenty of other seafood options that feature fresh seafood straight from the shores. And you couldn’t ask for more picturesque, ambient settings; take your pick from harbourfront spots to cliff top restaurant venues with a view.

Some venues even offer live music to enhance your dining experience. Dalt Vila is home to floodlit bastions and is very romantic by the harbourside at night, with a romantic atmosphere that makes it ideal for couples, while Sant Agusti is one of the prettiest villages on the island and perfect for a low-key dinner. For an unforgettable evening, consider booking a table at a renowned restaurant in Santa Eulalia, known for its exceptional local cuisine.
