Calm-water family beaches on the east coast, the Dalt Vila old fortress, the Las Dalias hippie market.

Couples Travel

A sunset at Café del Mar, a private boat day to Formentera, a Pacha or Hï club night.

On Your Own

Solo Travel

Sant Antoni and Playa d’en Bossa hostels are sociable; the club scene welcomes solo travelers.

Food

What to Eat

  • Bullit de peix. Slow-cooked fish stew with potato and saffron — Ibiza’s signature dish.
  • Sofrit pagès. Mixed roasted meats with potato and spices — peasant-origin Ibizan classic.
  • Flaó. Mint-and-cheese tart from goat cheese — a Pitiusan dessert specialty.
  • Hierbas Ibicencas. Herbal liqueur — sip neat after dinner.

Transportation

Getting Around

Buses cover the main towns; rent a scooter or car for cove beaches.

Book club tickets and dinner reservations weeks ahead in July–August; same-day walk-ins are rare.

Where to Base Yourself

Neighborhoods

  • Dalt Vila. UNESCO-listed old fortified town — walls, cobble lanes, sunset terraces.
  • Sant Antoni. West-coast party town — sunset strip cafés, bars, hostels.
  • Santa Eulària. Quieter family beach town — east-coast resorts, restaurants, calmer evenings.
