Top 10 Bucket List Experiences in Ibiza This Summer

Sunshine, salt air, and the promise of unforgettable memories Ibiza in summer 2025 is calling. Whether you’re a long-time lover of the island or planning your first adventure, there’s always something new to discover. At Villa Contact, we live and breathe Ibiza year-round, so we’ve gathered our ultimate summer bucket list to help you experience the very best of the island. Ready? Let’s dive in.

 

1. Catch the Sunset at Cala Conta (With a Twist)

Yes, Cala Conta is iconic. But this year, go a little earlier and snag a spot at Sunset Ashram. Sip a fresh fruit cocktail, listen to eclectic live DJ sets, and watch the sky turn molten gold. It’s the kind of Ibiza magic that never gets old.

2. Spend a Day on Formentera by Private Boat

This one’s a classic for a reason. Rent a boat (we’ll help you find the perfect captain), cruise across turquoise waters, and drop anchor at Illetes. Pair your swim with lunch at Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach—barefoot glamour at its finest.

3. Eat Like a Local in Santa Gertrudis

Trade beach bars for cobblestone charm in the heart of the island. Grab a bite at Bar Costa, famous for its rustic jamón serrano bocadillos and quirky art collection. Then wander the boutiques and galleries hidden around the square.

 

4. Hike to Atlantis at Sunrise

This isn’t on the average tourist itinerary—and that’s exactly why it’s on ours. Atlantis, a mythical rock formation carved into a secret cove below Es Vedrà, is a spiritual experience. Go early to beat the heat (and the crowds). You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world.

5. Explore the North in a Vintage Mehari

There’s no better way to explore the bohemian north than from behind the wheel of a candy-coloured Citroën Mehari. Cruise through San Juan, Benirràs, and Portinatx, and stop for a swim wherever the road (or dirt track) leads you.

6. Discover Ibiza’s New Wave of Dining

Ibiza’s food scene is thriving. Book ahead for a table at Juntos House in San Mateo—an elegant farm-to-fork restaurant set on a dreamy finca. Or try Casa Lhasa in Santa Gertrudis for natural wines and wildly good small plates.

7. Dance Under the Stars at Akasha

Move over mega-clubs. Akasha, the intimate, open-air venue in Las Dalias, has redefined Ibiza nightlife. Think soul-stirring music, barefoot dancing, and a vibrant, mixed crowd. No velvet ropes, just good energy.

8. Reconnect at a Wellness Retreat

If your summer dream includes slowing down, book a day (or a week) at Atzaró Agroturismo. Their tranquil gardens, holistic spa, and daily yoga sessions offer the perfect reset. Don’t miss their seasonal garden-to-table lunches.

9. Find Your Secret Beach

We all have one. This year, make it Cala d’en Serra, a tiny bay framed by cliffs and crowned with an abandoned hotel (a relic from Ibiza’s wilder days). Pack a picnic, bring a snorkel, and don’t forget your sense of adventure.

10. Watch the Moon Rise Over Dalt Vila

For one of the most romantic moments of the summer, grab a gelato and stroll the ancient streets of Dalt Vila at twilight. When the full moon rises over the fortress walls, casting silver light across the harbour, you’ll understand why so many fall in love with Ibiza—and never leave.
