Fauna, flora and natural parks

Ibiza nature is one of the island’s most important charms. No doubt its dense Mediterranean pine forests attract the attention of visitors. In fact, the Greeks knew the Pityusic Islands as Pine Islands, due to the green layer that spread through its fields and mountains all year round. According to recent scientific studies, pine trees have been a trait of the island’s landscape for 7,000 years.

You will be able to enjoy the island’s spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean sea, bathe in crystal water, wander around wheat fields, vineyards, and orchards, scented with aromatic plants, such as thyme, rosemary, and lavender that grow disorderedly on every corner.

FLORA: Ibiza’s varied flora includes close to a thousand species and is mostly integrated by Mediterranean elements. These elements present varied biogeographical affinities that show the different origins and diverse connections that the Pityusic Flora (Ibiza and Formentera) has had through its history.

NATURAL PARKS: Ibiza has several natural areas of special interest due to its ecological value and natural beauty. The most prominent ones are Ses Salines natural park and Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell, and the western islets’ natural reserves.
