Is Ibiza a running destination? Absolutely. Forget the clubs; our #RunThenWine Global guide reveals the hidden, breathtaking coastal trails of Ibiza. Explore rugged coves and secluded viewpoints. We say: Ibiza is not only a party destination. Trust the runner to show you the island's true beauty.
If you read my arctic about Mallorca routes, oh dear, Ibiza's best beaches hike is next level. We stayed in Portinatx which is 35 mins drive from Ibiza's downtown but why? The best beach right in front of the hotel. And the best part is that for this beach there are only 3 hotels around. And honestly, it feels like that the area was made for a perfect 5 km Marathon. You start from the beach, run the whole route through it reach second stunning beach and then turn back to the coast forest th complete the circle and go back to a starting point.
BUT! The main gear tips for IBIZA stunning run are right here below:
Ibiza’s coastal paths are stunning, but the sharp limestone and loose red dirt require serious grip. I traded my road shoes for lightweight trail runners with aggressive treading to tackle the cliffs safely;
The Mediterranean sun is no joke, especially on remote paths like the route to Es Vedrà where there are zero water fountains. A sleek, breathable hydration vest is a non-negotiable for carrying water and electrolytes;
Running along the water means double the sun exposure from the reflection. I swear by water-resistant, sweat-proof sport sunscreen that doesn't run into your eyes when you pace up.
