If you’re looking for a different getaway in Ibiza, away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches and nightlife, Pla de Corona is the place for you. This hidden gem in the heart of the island offers unique rural landscapes, trails lined with almond trees, and total disconnection for nature lovers. Here’s everything you need to know about what to see, do and enjoy in this secret paradise.
A walk through nature, almond trees, and tranquillity
Pla de Corona is a vast agricultural plain located near the charming village of Santa Agnès de Corona, in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany. Its main attraction is its stunning landscape of almond trees which, during the months of January and February, transforms into a white and pink blanket thanks to the blossoming. This natural spectacle makes the area one of the most beautiful places in Ibiza during the winter.
In addition to the almond trees, Pla de Corona preserves an authentic rural atmosphere, with traditional Ibizan houses, farmland, and small dirt paths perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle.
This setting is perfect for families seeking peaceful outdoor walks, couples looking for romantic nature experiences, and hikers eager to discover a different side of Ibiza. It is also ideal for photography enthusiasts and slow tourism lovers, as every corner invites you to stop, observe, and savour the moment.
Hiking routes and walks around Pla de Corona
One of Pla de Corona’s main charms is discovering it on foot. There are several signposted hiking routes that allow you to explore the beauty of the area.
