Atlantis

Nude beach Ibiza, Spain

Atlantis is located in front of the island of Es Vedra, on the road from Ibiza to Cala d'Hort. Initially the name of Atlantis was "Sa Pedrera", but it was baptized with the name of Atlantis by the hippies in the 50s who made it a place of worship and rest. The road to get to Atlantis is long and steep, but full of surprises, such as: a rock carving of the God Shiva, and clearings with stone totems. At the end of the path, the spectacle of clear water in the natural pools formed by the rocks will take your breath away.

Much of the magic of Atlantis is due to its striking rock formations caused by the hand of the man. The area was once used as a quarry to farm the stones to build the walls of Ibiza’s Dalt Vila, a World Heritage Site. The cuts in the rock have also created holes under the sea level, which are filled with water from rain and waves forming incredibly natural pools. The quirky rock formations seem perfectly carved to create a great spot to sit in the cool winds. Also, artists have left their mark by carving extraordinary faces, dragons, calls for peace and other symbolic imagery in the rocky cliffs. There is even a cave with a Buddha figure half way down which is the usual meeting point for hippies.
