Es Cubells, a Relaxing Corner of Ibiza

If you’re looking for an experience away from the hustle and bustle of nightclubs and crowded beaches, Ibiza offers much more. Among the various options, one choice is Es Canar, with its hippie market, and Es Cubells, a small village perched on a cliff overlooking the sea that retains a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

What to Expect in Es Cubells

As you stroll through the whitewashed streets of Es Cubells, you can admire the typical Ibizan houses, with flat roofs and wooden doors, overlooking small squares and narrow alleys. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming even when you reach the village center, where the parish church stands. This is an icon of Es Cubells due to its privileged position, offering spectacular views of the sea and the surrounding coves. From here, you can especially enjoy an unforgettable sunset.

A trip to Ibiza is not complete without spending some time by the sea, and the village is surrounded by small hidden coves, accessible on foot or by boat, where you can sunbathe or go snorkeling and diving.

Dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, it is the heart of the village. As mentioned, it sits on a cliff with a spectacular view of the sea. Its simple architecture, typical of Ibizan churches, is well worth discovering.
