Beyond the beach clubs. Beyond the clichés. Welcome to the other side of the island.
At Zest Hotel & Resort, we love the rhythm of the obvious: golden beaches, moonlit dancing, late-night laughter. But we live for the unexpected. The places that don’t shout, but hum. The ones that don’t crowd, but call.
If you’re craving something more than the usual path, here are five of Ibiza’s hidden gem: where nature meets nuance, and beauty breathes in its own time.
Es Portitxol
Distance from Zest Hotel & Resort: ∼ 40 minutes by car
A circular bay tucked into the wild northern coast. No road, no signs: only a winding hike through pine forests and sun-drenched silence. At the end: a fisherman’s cove where the water glows clear as crystal and the rocks hold ancient stories.
Tanit’s Cave
Distance from Zest Hotel & Resort: ∼ 50 minutes by car
High above Cala San Vicente, in the folds of steep cliffs, lies the Cave of Es Culleram: once a sanctuary for the goddess Tanit, protector of love and fertility. The energy here is thick, still, almost reverent.
Puertas Can Soleil
Distance from Zest Hotel & Resort: ∼ 30 minutes by car
Two doors, freestanding in the desert landscape near Cala Llentia. No walls. No fences. Just sky, sea, and silence. Created by artist Andrew Rogers, these sculptural portals frame the horizon: turning emptiness into invitation. Perfect at sunset.
Las Puertas del Cielo
Distance from Zest Hotel & Resort: ∼ 25 minutes by car
Just outside Santa Agnès de Corona, cliffs drop into infinity. This spot, known as “The Gates of Heaven,” offers a view that stretches thought itself. Come late. Sit quiet. Watch how the sun dissolves into sea and the day gives in.
Es Broll de Buscastell
Distance from Zest Hotel & Resort: ∼ 15 minutes by car
This lush inland valley pulses with quiet life: freshwater springs, ancient aqueducts, whispering fig trees. It’s Ibiza in slow motion. Ideal for a midday walk, barefoot moments, and feeling small in the best way.
This is the Ibiza we live for.
