More and more travellers are taking their dogs on holiday – and rightly so. On Ibiza, you’ll find holiday homes where walking trails, nature and the sea are all right on your doorstep. No long drives – just step outside and start exploring together.

Below you’ll find five dog-friendly holiday homes where walks begin right outside or are only a few minutes away – each with its own charm and surroundings.

If you drive a little further, you’ll find beautiful hiking routes around Sant Josep and San Agustín, with sea views and pine forests – perfect for a shaded morning walk.

Just 10 minutes by car from here is Playa des Viver, an official dog beach near Ibiza Town. Dogs are welcome there all year round, as long as they are kept on a leash and you follow basic rules (cleaning up waste and keeping vaccinations up to date).

Good to know: At most beaches on Ibiza, dogs are not allowed from May to October. Outside this period – or on specific dog-friendly beaches – they are welcome. You can check the latest regulations on ibiza.travel or ibiza-inside.com.

Why this house is ideal for dogs: San Carlos is one of the most charming villages on Ibiza – green, peaceful, and surrounded by rural walking trails. The holiday home is secluded and far from traffic – perfect for relaxed walks with your dog.

Walks nearby: From the house, you can walk towards Cala Boix or Pou des Lleó, along quiet country roads lined with almond trees and colourful wildflowers. The scenery is rural and diverse, and at the end of the route, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the sea. Even without heading to the beach, this area is ideal for walking – through forests, past old fincas, and along shaded paths typical of Ibiza’s northeast.

Why this house is perfect for a holiday with your dog: This accommodation is located close to the river mouth – something truly unique on Ibiza. The surroundings are peaceful, green, and diverse, offering plenty of shaded walking paths even on warmer days.

Walks nearby: The trail along the Riu de Santa Eulària is ideal – flat, quiet, and accompanied by the sound of birdsong. It ends at the sea, where dogs are welcome outside the main season. Just nearby you’ll also find Playa des Riu, an official dog-friendly beach in Santa Eulària. It’s a small and quiet beach with coarse sand and rocks – perfect for a short break after a walk along the river.

➡️ Nice extra for four-legged friends: Many cafés along the promenade have automatic water bowls available – perfect for a refreshing drink after your walk.

For those looking for more freedom, there are quiet country and sandy paths outside the park where you and your dog can enjoy the tranquillity of the island’s countryside. It’s also just a short drive to Playa des Viver, an official dog beach where your furry friend is welcome to run and play all year round.

Practical tip: Always stay on the marked paths and keep your dog on a leash – this helps protect the unique nature of the area.
