Walking may not be the first thing you associate with Europe’s premier party island, but Ibiza’s Mediterranean magic extends far beyond music and clubbing. Away from the main tourist resorts (particularly Sant Antoni, which takes up a relatively small area of the south-west coast), the coastline is enchanted, especially in the remote north. Even in high summer, epic trails like the clifftop paths near the village of Santa Agnès (north west) are almost completely deserted.

In the remoter areas of the extreme south west, head for the stretch of coastline overlooking the mystical island of Es Vedrà – said to be the home of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey. For panoramic views, climb Sa Talaia, near Sant Josep (central south west), the island’s highest point (1,558ft).
