Spending a morning exploring select spots in the Ibizan countryside and capital with a local guide gets you under the skin of this Balearic beauty. A tailor-made tour takes you to parts of the White Island that most holidaymakers never get to see. Martin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Before hippies put Ibiza on the world map in the 1960s, Ibiza was a remote rural backwater. You can still find vestiges of the old ways in inland villages, where elderly “pagesas” still wear shawls and aprons. It's such a contrast with the hedonistic coast.'
