Where to stay in Ibiza
Choose the area before the hotel. Platja d'en Bossa and San Antonio revolve around beach clubs and sunsets, the east coast around Santa Eulalia is calmer, and the countryside and the south-west cliffs are quieter still.
Platja d'en Bossa and around Ibiza Town
Platja d'en Bossa (Playa d'en Bossa), the long beach just south of Ibiza Town and close to the airport, is the island's busiest party strip. Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel is a minute from the sand, an adults-only hotel built around its pool and open-air stage. East of the harbour, Destino Five Ibiza is an adults-only clifftop resort about 3 km from Ibiza Marina, with a spa and yoga studio. Hotel Xereca is the rural option: an estate with orange groves in Puig d'en Valls, under 3 km from the port and Dalt Vila, the walled old town.
San Antonio Bay
On the west coast, San Antonio Bay faces the sunset and has its own bar and club scene. INNSiDE Ibiza Beach sits right on Punta Pinet beach on the bay, adults only, with a pool, rooftop and spa.
Santa Eulalia and the east coast
The east coast is calmer, with Santa Eulalia as its town. Palladium Hotel Don Carlos is an adults-only hotel among pine trees, steps from the sea and a few minutes from town, with a large pool and an activities programme. ME Ibiza is on the beach between Santa Eulalia and Es Canar, with several pools, a spa, poolside DJs and an adults-only rooftop pool.
The south-west cliffs
Around Es Cubells in the south-west, the coast is cliffs and small coves, with villas rather than large resorts. Las Brisas is a small boutique hotel on the Es Porroig clifftop, with rooms around a landscaped courtyard, a pool and a spa. Choose it for quiet.
When to go
The main season runs from May to October. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, when the clubs are in full swing; June and September are quieter, with the sea still warm in September. The big clubs open in late spring and close in October. Many hotels close in winter, so check opening dates with the hotel.
Getting there
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies on the south coast, a few kilometres from Ibiza Town, with flights from across Europe. Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel is about 4 km away, Hotel Xereca about 10 km and ME Ibiza around 22 km. Ferries sail from Barcelona, Valencia, Denia and Palma de Mallorca. Taxis and buses link the airport with the main towns; a hire car helps for the south-west cliffs and a rural stay.
