This is for assignment 11 at MatadorU…
Atlantis in Ibiza is opposite the island of es Vedra. It’s notorious among the locals and those in the know as one of the spiritual cores of Ibiza. It’s toughgoing to get down there and takes about 20 minutes, if you’re a fitty, could be an hour if you’re not.
The area was once used as a quarry to farm the stones to build the walls of Ibiza Town. Now the strange rock formations seem perfectly carved to create a great spot to sit in the cool winds, and it’s fun to make wishing towers from the smaller ones.
Take your swimming stuff down and make sure you’ve got plenty of water with you – the walk back up can be a killer, especially if you’ve been out partying the night before. And leave in good time before the sun goes down: I would not want to be down here in the dark.
Directions to Atlantis, Ibiza
- Make your way from Es Cubells to Cala d’Hort – roads are tight.
- Once you’ve reached the hill crest make a left onto the small camino, before the road turns to the right to es Boldado.
- On this camino you will be able to see es Vedra ahead of you.
- Parking is at the end of this road.
- Now you’ll see Atlantis in front of you. You need to prepare yourself for the 20-minute walk down the mountain. You’ll see where to go, but keep to the right as this is where the jumping platform is, and the best spot to get in the water.

Hey good luck with MatadorU, the writing on this post is great but wow those photos really tell the story.
Aw thanks Ayngelina. That means a lot coming from you
. It was a beautiful journey getting down!
I have been to Ibiza almost 10 times (none for clibubng though, these were my family holidays!) and it is a great place. Although I can’t give you any feedback on the clibubng scene (although some of the bars are famous) it’s no wonder Ibiza is called the Party Island. Loads to do, for everyone, great weather (and the odd tropical storm), great people, loads of super beaches and cheap bars. Be aware though depends on if you go to the quieter’ (I use that word losely) resorts of the party areas’ such as San Antonio you will probably be surrounded by 18-30 parties/stag dos/hen dos/lads holidays/young British boozers so pick your accomodation wisely.

I’ve been there.
It was a great experience.
Down took about 20 minutes.
The way back took more than 1 hour.
That was hell, really.
But would it not have missed.
What a beautiful scenery I have seen.
Yeah getting back up is definitely a killer! Make sure you take plenty of water with you, and save some energy for it.
