Let me walk you around the island...
Our journey begins in Ibiza Town, the island's heart and soul.
Brimming with culture, Ibiza Town is a haven for those with an eye for beauty and a taste for good food. Stroll through the charming Dalt Vila, where each cobbled lane is a treasure trove of boutiques. When the hunger pangs hit, there are so many beautiful cafés and restaurants dotting the area.
Ibiza Insider Tip: As the sun begins to set, walk up to the top of Dalt Vila for a breathtaking panoramic view of Ibiza. Don't forget to stop by Vivi's for a delightful ice cream treat with the kids, or slip into Tirapella bar for a tantalizing cocktail (adults only).
Next, we visit Playa d’en Bossa, the perfect place for nightlife lovers.
Beats from Ushuaïa Ibiza fill the air along this stunning stretch of sandy beach almost every day during the summer. Check out the stunning beach clubs in the area like Beachouse and Nassau, or dance into the early hours at Hï Ibiza.
For a serene beach day, make your way to Talamanca. Perfect for family days out, this area is full of lovely hotels and restaurants lining the beach. It’s a great spot to meet friends for lunch or even a little bit of work at a beachside restaurant overlooking the beautiful waters.
Ibiza Insider Tip: An early morning walk down the wooden promenade is a must-do, as you watch the waters glisten with the first rays of dawn. It’s super peaceful and the perfect start to anyone’s day. Then, enjoy a relaxing coffee at Hostal Talamanca.
Santa Eulalia, the island's second-largest town, is a family paradise. With its vast array of restaurants, health food shops, and a variety of hotels, it promises something for everyone. Spend a lazy day lounging at UM Beach House, soaking up the sun on the beautiful sandy beach.
In the heart of Ibiza, you will find Santa Gertrudis, a traditional village with an adorable square edged with tapas bars and quaint shops selling home interiors and typical Ibizan-style clothes and shoes.
Ibiza Insider Top Tip: Encourage the kids to tap into their creative side at Cafe 74 with pottery or painting classes, then discover the delicious plant-based culinary wonders at Wild Beets.
For a lively yet laid-back atmosphere, head to Cala Tarida. This family-friendly spot boasts a long sandy beach and is home to the popular Cotton Club restaurant. Don't miss witnessing a stunning sunset from the beach.
Next, we explore San Carlos, the epitome of Ibiza's bohemian spirit. With its tapas restaurants, bars, and shops, this northeastern village is an authentic experience.
A visit to the Las Dalias hippy market is a must - there are so many beautiful brightly coloured stalls offering an array of unique finds. The al fresco restaurant at Las Dalias is always lively, with a DJ or live music filling the air as you enjoy lunch or wander the market.
Cala Llonga is a paradise for family beach holidays. The water is so blue here and you can get a short boat ride to Santa Eulalia which is lots of fun for the kids.
Ibiza Insider Tip: Talk a walk up to Amante restaurant and beach club for an unforgettable meal and experience. The views are amazing from the cliff!
Portinatx is a haven for couples seeking tranquillity. Its clear waters make it perfect for snorkelling and paddleboarding, and there are lots of boat trips that go from here. Though it is in the North, there are regular buses to Ibiza Town if you want a night out.
Make sure to walk up to the lighthouse for incredible views. If you want to take it further, there’s a great coastal hike around to Cala d’en Serra and the abandoned hotel.
Last but not least, San Antonio is where the night comes alive. Known for its nightlife and budget-friendly options, it offers a mix of fun boutique hotels and larger resorts. You can explore the infamous ‘West End’, jump on a boat party and enjoy the sunset at the famous Cafe Mambo and Cafe del Mar.
