Description

Discover three fascinating sides of Ibiza’s west coast on an adventure combining monumental art, a hidden coastal refuge and the golden light of sunset. Begin at the City of the Sun, a spectacular contemporary artwork standing above the Mediterranean. Walk among thirteen immense basalt columns arranged in a geometric design inspired by the Fibonacci sequence and the paths of the planets. The tallest rises almost ten metres, giving the monument the appearance of a temple from another civilisation. Commissioned by the founder of Cirque du Soleil after his journey into space, this creation has long inspired the imagination. Some visitors picture it as a solar calendar, a cosmic portal or even a landing site for travellers from the stars. These stories belong to legend, but they add to the extraordinary atmosphere of the place. Explore a monumental doorway opening onto the landscape, its mosaic and the stone spirals gradually left by visitors. Play with perspective and capture remarkable photographs in a setting where art, nature and mystery appear to meet. Continue on foot to the Yoga Platform, a name that reflects the peaceful atmosphere of the panorama. No yoga class takes place here. Instead, discover a former coastal refuge dominated by an immense arch carved by the sea. Step beneath this natural window overlooking the Mediterranean and explore the platform and old shelters where fishermen once protected their boats. The secluded site is later said to have hosted secret gatherings and parties beneath the full moon. Today, it retains a wild and contemplative atmosphere that is ideal for photographs. Finally, reach a beach of turquoise water facing the Magic Island. This small protected islet can only be admired from the shore, as landing there is prohibited. Enjoy time to swim, explore the surroundings and photograph the changing reflections across the sea. As the sky begins to glow, settle down facing the horizon. You can purchase a drink from a bohemian bar set on the rocks, then watch the sun slowly descend behind the islets. The experience continues until it disappears completely and shades of blue, gold and red blend above the Mediterranean. From cosmic architecture and a secret sea arch to fishermen’s heritage, swimming and sunset, experience an evening that reveals Ibiza at its most artistic, mysterious and photogenic.
