Where to stay in Ibiza — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Ibiza (Eivissa in Catalan) is Spain's legendary Mediterranean island, best known for its world-class clubs and DJs — Pacha, Amnesia, Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa go until sunrise. But there's far more than nightlife here. By day you've got Dalt Vila, the fortified old town whose 16th-century Renaissance walls earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1999, Caribbean-clear coves like Cala Comte and Cala Bassa, and the mystical rock of Es Vedrà glowing at sunset. This guide helps you pick the right base for your trip — whether you're here to party, honeymoon, or travel with the family — and book the right room in a few clicks.
Why stay in Ibiza
Clubbing capital of the world
Pacha has run since 1973, Amnesia has won World's Best Club, and together with Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa and DC10 (set in a former aircraft hangar), Ibiza is the true mecca of electronic music.
UNESCO old town, Dalt Vila
A hilltop fortress city the Phoenicians founded over 2,500 years ago, with intact 16th-century Renaissance walls. Climb the cobbled lanes for sweeping panoramas over the harbour and the Mediterranean.
Clear coves and epic sunsets
West-coast beaches like Cala Comte and Cala Bassa have Caribbean-quality water, while sunset at Es Vedrà or a San Antonio sunset bar is the island's signature ritual.
Hippy heritage & boho markets
The Las Dalias and Punta Arabí hippy markets (the latter running since 1973 with 500+ stalls) sell handmade jewellery, vintage clothing and art — the island's 60s-70s boho spirit is still very much alive.

🚆 Getting around Ibiza
Ibiza Airport (IBZ)
The airport sits about 7 km southwest of Ibiza Town, a 15-minute drive. In season it has heavy direct flights from major European cities.
Taxis
Official white taxis run 24/7 from the airport. Expect around €19–22 for up to four passengers into Ibiza Town — the easiest option if you arrive late or travel as a group.
Bus line L10
Lines 10 / 10E Aeroport Express run from the airport to Ibiza Town port every 20–30 minutes for about €3.60 — the best value if you're watching your budget, though it gets crowded at peak times.
Car & scooter hire
The island spans roughly 570 km² and many of the best coves aren't reachable by bus, so a car or scooter is the way to explore beaches and the old town freely. Book ahead in high season.
Ferries & boat taxis
Ibiza Town harbour has fast ferries to Formentera and ferries to mainland Spain (Barcelona, Valencia, Dénia). Seasonal taxi-boats also hop between coastal beaches.

When is the best time to visit Ibiza?+
For clubbing and beach clubs, the season runs April to October (peaking June–September) — clubs fully open, warm sea, but crowded and pricier. For fewer crowds and better rates, try early May or early October. Winters are quiet and the big clubs close.
Which area should I stay in?+
Clubbers → Playa d'en Bossa (Ushuaïa/Hï) · First-timers wanting culture plus nightlife → Ibiza Town (walk to Dalt Vila and Pacha) · Families → Santa Eulalia, calm with shallow beaches · Budget travellers and sunset lovers → San Antonio.
How do I get from the airport to town?+
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is only about 7 km from Ibiza Town. A white taxi costs roughly €19–22 and takes ~15 minutes, or take bus L10/10E to the port for about €3.60, departing every 20–30 minutes. Hire a car if you plan to tour multiple beaches.
