Ibiza

The best time to visit Ibiza depends on what you’re after. The party season kicks off in early May and runs through to late September, with some clubs starting as early as April and closing in early October. July and August are the hottest and busiest months—great if you’re into packed beach clubs and all-night parties. For something a little more relaxed, June and September are ideal: the weather’s still warm, the sea’s perfect for swimming, and the crowds are thinner.

Citizens of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Spain, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle Eastern, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Public transport in Ibiza is limited to buses, which connect major towns like Ibiza Town, San Antonio, and Santa Eulalia, as well as many beaches, making it a practical option for tourists. During the summer months, Ibiza operates the Disco Bus, a night bus service connecting major clubs and resorts. The service typically runs from midnight until 6:30am, with buses departing every 30 to 45 minutes. Water taxis also run between coastal spots such as San Antonio, Cala Bassa, and Cala Conta, offering a scenic alternative. For frequent travellers, the T-20 saver ticket provides discounted fares on multiple journeys.

Taxis are generally easy to find in Ibiza, especially during the summer when the fleet expands to meet the seasonal demand. You can hail one on the street, head to a taxi rank, or book in advance by phone. The TaxiClick app is widely used and allows you to request a ride and track your driver. Uber also operates on the island, offering services like Uber Comfort and Uber Van.
