About Ibiza

Ibiza sits in the western Mediterranean as part of Spain's Balearic archipelago. World-famous for its dual identity, the island combines idyllic pine-scented hills, crystal turquoise coves, and bohemian markets with its reputation as the global capital of electronic music and nightlife.

The island capital, Ibiza Town (Eivissa), is crowned by Dalt Vila: a colossal UNESCO-listed 16th-century fortress rising over the harbor. Between the whitewashed alleys of the historic fishermen's quarter Sa Penya and the chic superyacht berths of Marina Botafoch, the island radiates relaxed coastal style.

Best time to go
May, June, September, and October offer the ideal blend of warm beach days (22 to 27°C), open-air dining, and comfortable sightseeing. July and August are hot, vibrant, and packed for peak clubbing season. The off-season (November through April) reveals a tranquil, rural retreat popular with hikers and yogis.
From the airport
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is located 7 kilometres southwest of Ibiza Town. Route 10 buses run every 15 to 30 minutes, connecting to the central bus station and ferry port in 20 minutes. Official taxis cost approximately 15 to 20 euros.
Getting around
Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila are best explored on foot. To visit secluded beaches (calas) and rural inland villages, renting a car or scooter is strongly recommended. During the summer months, the nocturnal Discobus connects towns, major clubs, and beaches until dawn.
