Getting to Ibiza is straightforward, with options by air and sea. Here are the most common ways to get to the island:

• Plane: Ibiza Airport (IBZ) sits just south of Eivissa and receives direct flights from across the UK and Europe throughout the holiday season. From the terminal it is a short drive or coach ride into town. Hiring a car at the airport is the simplest way to reach the quieter villages and coves.

⭐Our guests' recommendation: Our guest travellers Chloe and Marco recommend Es Torrent in Ibiza: this seafront fish restaurant near Sant Josep serves the day's catch right by the water, and it became the highlight of their week.

☀️When is the best time to visit?

The best time to visit Ibiza is from May to September, when the sea is warm and the skies are clear. For lively beaches and nightlife, choose July and August; for quieter coves and gentler prices, late May, June and September are ideal. Spring brings wildflowers and excellent walking weather.

Late spring (May to June)

• Best for: Walkers, couples and anyone after a quieter beach.
• Weather: Warm, sunny days in the low twenties with comfortable evenings.
• Atmosphere: Relaxed and uncrowded, with the season just beginning to stir.

Summer (July to August)

• Best for: Beach holidays, families and the famous nightlife.
• Weather: Hot and dry, often reaching the mid-thirties Celsius.
• Atmosphere: Buzzing and busy, with beach clubs and bars in full swing.

Autumn (September to October)

• Best for: Couples and late-season sun-seekers.
• Weather: Still warm, with sea temperatures perfect for swimming.
• Atmosphere: Calmer and more local as the summer crowds thin out.

⭐Our hosts' recommendation: Our Ibiza local expert, James of Villa Dalt S Era with mountain view, wifi, air conditioning, pool & garden, recommends an early-morning drive to Es Vedrà to watch the sunrise over the sea before the roads get busy. You can read more about local tips on James's page.

1. Take a day trip to Formentera

   Hop on a ferry to the neighbouring island of Formentera, famed for its powder-white sand and water so clear it feels almost Caribbean. Base yourself around a resort like Es Pujols, hire a bike to explore the coast, and break for lunch at one of the laid-back beach restaurants. Boutique shops sell handmade jewellery and souvenirs.

2. Experience Ibiza's legendary nightlife

   Ibiza's nightlife is best enjoyed around Playa d'en Bossa, home to world-famous clubs such as Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza where leading international DJs play right through the summer. Beyond the big clubs, the marina bars and laid-back beach clubs make for unforgettable evenings out with friends or your partner.

3. Cool off at Aguamar Water Park

   Also at Playa d'en Bossa, near the city of Eivissa, Aguamar Water Park is an easy day out for families and groups. Its pools and slides cater to all ages, from gentle splashing for little ones to faster rides for thrill-seekers, and it is simple to reach by road.

4. Relax at Cala Boix Bay

   On the island's eastern coast, the small cove of Cala Boix is known for its dramatic black sand and the towering cliffs that frame it. The slightly livelier water suits bodyboarding and surfing, while the setting is wonderfully peaceful for a family afternoon; several excellent restaurants overlook the bay.

5. Browse the hippy markets

   Ibiza's free-spirited, bohemian roots live on at its colourful hippy markets. The best known is Las Dalias, near Santa Eulària des Riu, where stalls overflow with handmade jewellery, clothing, art and curious antiques. It is a lovely way to spend a relaxed afternoon, picking up one-of-a-kind souvenirs and soaking up the island's famously laid-back atmosphere.
