Ibiza travel guide
Spain · Top sights · trending spots
Ibiza was Phoenician from the seventh century BC, and the necropolis at Puig des Molins outside the old town holds several thousand tombs cut into the rock. The clubs run residencies through the summer that fill the island with the loudest names in dance music, and have done since the 1980s.
The other one is World Heritage — the walled upper town of Dalt Vila, a Phoenician settlement at Sa Caleta, and the seagrass meadows offshore that keep the water so clear. Es Vedrà takes the sunset; Formentera is an hour by ferry.

Sa Caleta Phoenician Settlement
A Phoenician settlement of the eighth century BC on a headland ten kilometres from the town, abandoned within a century when the population moved to the better harbour. The stone house foundations are exposed on the clifftop and it is part of the World Heritage listing.

Puig des Molins, Ibiza
The Punic necropolis on the hill above the town, where more than three thousand rock-cut chambers hold something like ten times that many burials. Carthaginians were brought here from across the western Mediterranean because Ibiza had no venomous animals. Part of the World Heritage listing.

Museo Arqueológico de Ibiza y Formentera
The archaeological museum for both islands, whose subject is the Phoenician and Punic period — Ibiza was a Carthaginian centre and its terracotta figures of the goddess Tanit are the collection's core. Part of it sits in the old town, part at the necropolis.
