8 best places to watch sunrise in Ibiza
There are countless places to enjoy the sunrise so it was hard to narrow it down to only eight. Nonetheless, we are certain these are the most incredible corners to see the beauty of nature.

We can also tell you that some of the best viewing spots may require some walking or access over uneven terrain. We’ll highlight such when it’s the case in this list:

Punta Galera

Located on the northern coast of Ibiza, Punta Galera is known for unique rock formations. In spite of it being a stunning location, not many tourists know about it, so it is a quiet and picturesque place to watch the sun rise, sitting on the rocks and enjoying the view of the sea.

Es Vedra islet

No wonder this iconic rock formation, emerging from the sea, is one of the most mystical places in the world. Head to the beach of Cala d'Hort, from where you can watch the sunrise over Es Vedra – an impressive landscape. This islet is said to be blessed by positive energy and also home to supernatural phenomena. There’s even more to Es Vedra than being a sunset viewing point!

Ses Salines Natural Park

While many think of watching the sunset or sunrise from a beach, there are other special places like the Ses Salines Natural Park. Sitting on the southernmost point of Ibiza, this is a spot of tranquillity and wildlife, and you’ll be astounded by the birds and other fauna of Ses Salines you’ll see if you visit in the earliest hours of the day.

San Antonio

To the south-eastern point of the island, the famous party spot of San Antonio is also home to some of the best sunrises Ibiza can offer. In fact, it's such a privileged geographical position you can watch sunsets and sunrises here, better than anywhere in the Mediterranean in our opinion. You can pick a busy street or a tranquil café on the coast to watch the dawn, dealer’s choice!

It is also close to the hippie craft market, Punta Arabí, where you can find many handmade products and the latest Ibizan fashion after watching the sunrise with breakfast.
