Ibiza is the land of perpetually blue skies, white beaches, sparkling blue sea and parties. The biggest of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza is found off the West coast of Spain and is surrounded by smaller, equally beautiful islands. Party season and the hottest months run from May to August so for a quieter, cooler experience, winter in Ibiza is ideal. The party season starts in June and reaches its peak in August, with the super clubs throwing all-night dance parties.
Ibiza is a small island and is easily navigated on foot, but there are also excellent buses running across the island. Boat trips can also be taken if you are feeling adventurous, visiting some of the smaller, quieter islands next to Ibiza. The Dalt Vila has some excellent views from its craggy heights and is an excellent place to see the old, more traditional island life.
Ibiza is best known for its clubbing and parties but there is so much more to the island than just super clubs and vodka! Away from the central towns, Ibiza has secluded beaches perfect for family holidays and quaint old towns with local food specialities, where you can drink a cold beer and look out over the stunning seascape. Ibiza is a land of gorgeous sunsets, whitewashed churches and buildings set against an azure sky, long beaches with clear water to swim in and rocky outcrops to clamber up. Ibiza has World Heritage status, so there are caps on what can be built on the island, ensuring the beautiful nature is protected.
If you want a break from swimming and beach lounging, Ibiza has charming towns to explore, with old buildings or serene churches for a cool moment away from the sun. If you are feeling more adventurous, there is a plethora of water sports and activities you can do, from diving to jet skiing at all levels. Alternatively, you could go beach hopping and seek out secluded caves and beaches to spend the afternoon on or explore our guide to Ibiza for more ideas.
Of course, there is also the clubbing, with beach parties going on until sunrise with all kinds of music and well-known DJs. Or you can spend the evening enjoying a quiet cocktail and fresh seafood at one of the seaside bars, watching the colours of a magical sunset.
