Outdoor Activities in Ibiza
The island’s natural environment is renowned for its richness and diversity, offering plenty to explore. A great option to discover Ibiza’s beauty and keep the kids entertained is a bike ride.
Ibiza boasts over 700 kilometres of cycling routes, which run along quiet roads and paths. You’ll find various itineraries of different lengths, circular routes, and levels of difficulty. The best part is that some of these routes will take you to hidden spots where the kids will feel like real adventurers.
If you prefer, the island also has an extensive network of hiking trails that will lead you to places of infinite beauty.
Another activity that kids will love is exploring paths and roads on a buggy or quad bike! We recommend booking an organised excursion with a specialised adventure company and simply letting yourself go.
Water Sports with Kids in Ibiza
Ibiza is a paradise for water sports, and kids love spending the day in the water. A fantastic idea is to go kayaking.
If you’re a fan of this sport, you can choose an easy route and go on your own. If not, it’s best to contact a company or professional who can guide your family to discover beaches, caves, and many surprising spots.
Additionally, Ibiza’s beaches are ideal for snorkelling. Thanks to the clear waters, you can see schools of fish, rays, octopuses, flying fish, and many other marine species. So, with a mask and snorkel, fun is guaranteed.
At many beaches, you can also rent pedal boats for a ride, have fun with the banana boat, or try water bikes. You can also try windsurfing or sailing, depending on your preferences.
Best Beaches in Ibiza for Kids
While Ibiza has many beaches filled with tourists and a more festive atmosphere, there are also many where you can enjoy a pleasant family day.
These are usually less crowded, very peaceful, with clean, shallow, and clear waters, free from strong currents and waves.
One of the best beaches to visit with kids in Ibiza is Cala Bassa, in San José. Its waters are calm, clean, and clear, with plenty of services available and even shaded areas where kids can play without being exposed to the sun for too long.
In Es Canar, you’ll also find Cala Nova, with a large sandy area, shallow waters, parking, and a beach bar. If you’re near San Antonio, don’t miss Cala Gració, perfect for kids and located very close to the Aquarium Cap Blanc.
Other suitable beaches for kids include Es Figueral, Cala Compte, Portinatx, Cala Llonga, or Cala Llenya, among many others.
Playgrounds and Activities for Kids in Ibiza
Ibiza offers many entertainment options for children, including playgrounds, water parks, aquariums, and adventure parks.
The Parc de s’Illa is known as the largest playground in Ibiza. It covers around 3,500 square metres and is located in the Can Misses neighbourhood of Ibiza Town. Its facilities, including a bike and scooter circuit, are spectacular.
In Santa Eulària, don’t miss the Fantasy Park Ibiza. This playground features a large ball pool, trampolines, a football field, and a basketball court, as well as a wide slide circuit.
Another option to keep the kids entertained is visiting the Aquarium Cap Blanc. It’s located in Sa Cova de ses Llagostes, a natural cave that also serves as a marine species recovery centre. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the island’s marine life!
For even more fun, kids will love the Aguamar water park in Playa d’en Bossa; the Agrobosc adventure park, situated in a pine area near Cala Pada; or the Ses Salines Natural Park, a protected area between Ibiza and Formentera, perfect for bird watching, spotting flamingos, or taking a leisurely walk.
