Ibiza is the Balearic island synonymous with world-famous nightclubs and sunset rituals, yet beyond the party strip it hides pine-cloaked hills, a UNESCO-listed walled old town (Dalt Vila), and turquoise coves that draw a quieter crowd by day. Its compact size means beach, history, and hedonism sit only a short drive apart.

Frequently asked questions about Ibiza
How do I get to Ibiza?
Travellers arrive via Ibiza Airport (IBZ), the island's only airport, located ~7km southwest of Ibiza Town; from there, public buses (including line L10) run into the town centre in around 15-20 minutes, with taxis as the faster alternative. The island has no rail network, so onward travel to resorts like Santa Eulària or Sant Antoni relies on buses from the regional hub or hire cars/taxis.
How many days should I spend in Ibiza?
Plan on ~3-4 days to cover Ibiza Town's old quarter and a couple of beaches, or ~5-7 days if you want to add the club scene, Formentera day trip, and the island's quieter northern coves.
