Ibiza is known worldwide for its lively nightlife and hip clubs, but even the slightly older visitors will find plenty to enjoy here. Over-50s who do not feel like going out can enjoy sun-drenched beaches, such as Cala Llonga and Cala Tarida, for example. They can also take trips to cultural or historical sites, such as Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s old town. Culinary delights also abound in the many eateries, which range from tapas bars, Michelin-starred restaurants and beach clubs such as the famous Cotton Beach Club. Often you can eat with a view of the Mediterranean Sea, which is an experience in itself. In short, Ibiza offers an ideal mix of wonderful temperatures, beautiful natural beauty and plenty of culture and history for visitors who are past their fifties and want to skip the clubs.
Historical explorations
Many visitors are eager to learn more about Ibiza’s rich history. A good place for this is Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s old town. Here you can stroll quietly through the narrow, winding streets with echoes of past generations. Visit Ibiza’s cathedral and archaeological museum, where you will learn about the peoples who once ruled Ibiza, including the Phoenicians and the Moors. The old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not only breathes history, but also offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Another silent witness to Ibiza’s troubled history is the imposing 16th-century watchtower Torre des Savinar. And in the north of the island, in San Joan de Labritja, is the Church of Sant Joan, a beautiful example of Baroque architecture.

The most beautiful beaches and villages
Ibiza has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, and many of them are perfect for over-50s seeking sun, peace and beauty. We list here a few of our favorite beaches. For starters, San Antonio, which is popular with older visitors. But also Cala Bassa, Cala Conta, Cala d’Hort, Cala Salada and Cala Vedella are wonderful places to sunbathe and swim. Here you not only have a beautiful view of the azure sea, but you will also find good restaurants serving local dishes on the menu.
If you would like to visit a nice village, we recommend Santa Gertrudis, one of the most beautiful villages in Ibiza. On the east coast of the island you will find Santa Eularia, a quieter town with beautiful beaches such as Cala Llenya, which is surrounded by forest and high cliffs These beaches are less crowded than Playa d’en Bossa, for example, as well as offering spectacular views and a relaxed atmosphere. For a sunset view, by the way, you never have to look far in Ibiza.
Hippie markets and local culture
If you like a little “couleur locale,” take a trip to one of Ibiza’s colorful hippie markets. This is a good option for visitors of all ages. You will feast your eyes and have a great time here. Perhaps one of the most fun hippie markets is the Las Dalias market in San Carlos, which offers a wide range of crafts, clothing, food and jewelry. This market is popular with locals and tourists alike, and often features live music.
Natural beauty
For nature lovers, there are numerous quiet beaches and hidden coves scattered throughout the island. Sant Josep, with its view of the mysterious island of Es Vedrà, is a must-see for anyone looking for peace and inspiration combined with spectacular views. For a day in nature, we recommend a trip north to Sant Joan or Sant Miquel, where green hills and pristine landscapes dominate. Also worth a separate mention are the beautiful sunsets you can experience in Ibiza.
