Things to do in Ibiza

Explore the pristine beaches in Ibiza

Ibiza beach days can be everything from lively and social to quiet and restorative. Cala Comte (also known as Cala Conta) is a classic — turquoise water, rocky edges, and that wide-open west-coast feel.

Savour delicious food in Ibiza

Food deserves proper time here. We love guiding guests towards the places that match the mood: toes-in-the-sand lunches, “dress up a bit” dining, and those special-occasion tables you book for a birthday or anniversary. Our own tried-and-tested restaurant list is a great starting point.

Enjoy the stunning sunsets

Sunsets in Ibiza aren’t just pretty, they are a whole atmosphere. West-coast viewpoints and venues become a ritual for visitors, whether you go full sunset-bar or find a quieter spot with a bottle of something cold.

Visit Sant Antonio de Portmany, Ibiza

San Antonio is a smart base if you want good energy, famous sunsets, and strong links to the nightlife. It’s particularly good for first-timers who want to “do Ibiza” without overcomplicating logistics.

Explore the natural parks, Ibiza

When you step away from the resorts, Ibiza’s landscapes come into their own — rugged coastline, salt flats, and places that remind you this is an island first, party destination second.

Enjoy the lounge music scene, Ibiza

Not every night needs to be a superclub. Ibiza does laid-back music brilliantly — the kind of evening that starts with cocktails, drifts into dinner, and ends with a soundtrack you can actually talk over.

Our tips for first-timers

Choose the right area to stay

For a quieter and more refined experience, consider areas like Santa Eulària des Riu, Es Cubells, Talamanca, or Cala Jondal. These locations offer a more sophisticated atmosphere compared with the island’s busier party districts.

Reserve beach clubs in advance

Ibiza’s most sought-after beach clubs fill up quickly during peak season, so booking ahead is essential. Popular upscale spots include Blue Marlin Ibiza, Casa Jondal, Nikki Beach Ibiza, and Amante Ibiza.

Plan a private yacht day

Chartering a yacht is one of the most memorable luxury experiences in Ibiza. A popular route is sailing to Formentera, known for its crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches.

Enjoy lunch by the sea in Formentera

While exploring Formentera by boat, many visitors stop for lunch at beachfront restaurants such as Juan y Andrea, famous for fresh seafood and panoramic Mediterranean views.

Arrange transport in advance

The island is larger than many visitors expect. Renting a car or arranging a private driver can make exploring beaches, restaurants, and viewpoints much easier, particularly during the busy summer months.

Don’t miss Ibiza’s sunset views

Sunset is one of the island’s most magical moments. Popular viewing spots include the dramatic cliffs around Es Vedrà and coastal locations such as Experimental Beach Ibiza and Café del Mar.
