Ibiza holidays offer much more than world-famous nightlife. This beautiful Balearic island combines sandy beaches and secluded coves with family-friendly resorts, stylish beach clubs, traditional villages, spectacular sunsets and some of the best nightlife in the Mediterranean.
With direct flights from the UK taking around two and a half hours from many airports, Ibiza is an easy choice for a summer holiday. Whether you're looking for an All Inclusive family escape, a relaxing couples' holiday, a lively week with friends or a luxury hotel by the beach, there's an area of Ibiza to suit you.
Why choose Ibiza for your next holiday?
Ibiza is one of Spain's Balearic Islands and has been a favourite with British holidaymakers for decades.
While its clubs and nightlife remain famous around the world, there's another side to Ibiza that's equally worth discovering. Head away from the busiest resorts and you'll find pine-covered countryside, traditional villages, pretty marinas and small coves surrounded by clear Mediterranean water.
Ibiza is a great choice for:
Couples' holidays
Beach holidays
Nightlife and clubbing holidays
Luxury holidays
Groups and friends
Short summer breaks
The island's relatively compact size also makes it easy to explore beyond your chosen resort.
Which is the best resort in Ibiza?
Choosing where to stay in Ibiza depends on the type of holiday you're looking for. The atmosphere can change considerably from one part of the island to another.
Playa d'en Bossa – best for nightlife and beach clubs
Playa d'en Bossa is one of Ibiza's liveliest resorts and home to the island's longest beach.
It's a popular choice for couples and groups wanting to combine days on the beach with Ibiza's famous nightlife. You'll find a huge selection of bars, restaurants, beach clubs and entertainment, as well as some of the island's best-known clubbing venues.
It's also conveniently located for Ibiza Town and the airport.
San Antonio – best for sunsets and lively holidays
San Antonio is another of Ibiza's best-known resorts.
Famous for its sunsets, bars and nightlife, San Antonio remains particularly popular with groups of friends and younger travellers. However, there's more to the resort than clubs, with beaches, boat trips, restaurants and a busy waterfront all within easy reach.
Nearby San Antonio Bay generally offers a more relaxed atmosphere and is popular with couples and families.
Santa Eulalia – best for couples and relaxed holidays
For a more laid-back Ibiza holiday, Santa Eulalia is an excellent choice.
This attractive east-coast resort has a marina, promenade, sandy beach and a good selection of restaurants and cafés. The atmosphere is considerably more relaxed than Ibiza's main nightlife resorts, making Santa Eulalia particularly appealing to couples and families.
Es Cana – best for families
Es Cana combines a relaxed seaside atmosphere with plenty of holiday facilities.
Its sandy beach, restaurants and family-friendly accommodation make it a popular option for parents travelling with children. The resort is also well known for the nearby Punta Arabí Hippy Market.
Portinatx – best for a quieter Ibiza holiday
Situated on Ibiza's northern coast, Portinatx is a great option if beaches and relaxation are more important to you than nightlife.
The resort is surrounded by attractive coastal scenery and has several beaches and coves nearby. Its calmer atmosphere makes it particularly suitable for couples and families.
Cala Llonga – best for beach-loving families
Cala Llonga is another excellent family option. Its sheltered bay and sandy beach provide a very different experience from Ibiza's livelier resorts.
Official Ibiza tourism information highlights Cala Llonga among the island's family-friendly beaches thanks to its generally calm waters and range of nearby facilities.
Is Ibiza good for families?
Yes. Ibiza can be an excellent destination for a family holiday.
Although the island is famous for nightlife, resorts such as Es Cana, Santa Eulalia, Cala Llonga and Portinatx offer a much more relaxed experience.
Families can enjoy sandy beaches, boat trips, markets, watersports and days exploring the island. Ibiza's official tourism organisation particularly recommends beaches including Cala Llonga, Cala Nova, Talamanca and Portinatx for families.
Many Ibiza hotels are also designed specifically with families in mind, with facilities that can include children's pools, kids' clubs, entertainment and family rooms.
What are the beaches like in Ibiza?
Ibiza has an impressive variety of beaches, ranging from long stretches of sand to tiny coves hidden between cliffs and pine-covered hills.
Some of the best-known beaches and coves include:
Playa d'en Bossa
Ses Salines
Cala Bassa
Cala Comte
Cala d'Hort
Cala Llonga
Cala Nova
Cala Salada
Portinatx
Es Cana
The official Ibiza tourism authority describes the island's coastline as a combination of long sandy beaches and smaller sheltered coves, so hiring a car or exploring by boat can be a great way to discover more than the beach closest to your hotel.
Nightlife in Ibiza
Ibiza remains one of the world's leading nightlife destinations.
The island attracts internationally known DJs throughout the summer, with major events taking place across Ibiza Town, Playa d'en Bossa and San Antonio.
Playa d'en Bossa is particularly popular with visitors who want easy access to major clubs and beach clubs, while San Antonio offers a huge selection of bars, sunset venues and late-night entertainment.
If nightlife is an important part of your holiday, check club calendars before travelling as events and DJ line-ups change from season to season.
Things to do in Ibiza
You don't have to spend your entire Ibiza holiday on the beach.
Explore Dalt Vila
Head into Ibiza Town and explore Dalt Vila, the historic fortified old town. Ibiza's biodiversity and culture are recognised by UNESCO, including Dalt Vila and the nearby Puig des Molins necropolis.
Walk through the cobbled streets, enjoy the views and stop for something to eat in Ibiza Town afterwards.
Watch an Ibiza sunset
Ibiza's sunsets are one of the island's highlights, particularly around the west coast.
San Antonio is famous for its sunset atmosphere, but there are plenty of other viewpoints around the island if you'd prefer somewhere quieter.
Discover Ibiza's coves
Spend a day exploring some of Ibiza's smaller coves. Cala Salada, Cala d'Hort and Cala Bassa are just a few of the places worth considering.
Visit the hippy markets
Ibiza's hippy heritage is still part of the island's identity. The markets at Las Dalias and Punta Arabí are popular places to browse stalls selling clothing, jewellery, crafts and gifts.
Take a boat trip
Boat trips are an excellent way to see Ibiza from a different perspective. Depending on where you're staying, you'll find everything from short coastal cruises to sunset trips and excursions to neighbouring Formentera.
Try watersports
Kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling are available around the island, while some of Ibiza's larger beaches offer a wider choice of watersports during the summer.
Where should couples stay in Ibiza?
Couples have plenty of choice.
Santa Eulalia is ideal if you want good restaurants and a more sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere, while Playa d'en Bossa works well if nightlife and beach clubs are important.
For something quieter, consider Portinatx or one of Ibiza's smaller coastal resorts.
Where should families stay in Ibiza?
Es Cana, Santa Eulalia, Cala Llonga and Portinatx are among the areas we'd consider for a family holiday.
The right resort will depend on your children's ages, preferred board basis and whether you want a large family hotel with plenty happening on-site or somewhere smaller and quieter.
