Ibiza

Plan Ibiza with Haqqi Tours: day tours, private airport transfers, attraction tickets and packages, run by our own team and confirmed on WhatsApp in Arabic or English.

Step out of your hotel in Ibiza Town in the morning and the light is the first thing you notice: a clear, silvery Mediterranean brightness that turns the whitewashed houses of Dalt Vila almost luminous above the harbour. Fishing boats bob below the Renaissance walls, the scent of pine and rosemary drifts down from the hills, and a café on the Marina sets out ensaïmada pastries and strong coffee as the first ferries leave for Formentera.

Ibiza at first sight

Ibiza is far more than its reputation. Phoenicians founded its capital nearly three thousand years ago, Carthaginians buried their dead on its hillsides, and its seagrass meadows are a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside the old town. Beyond the port lies an island of farmhouses, hilltop churches, artisan markets and turquoise coves, with some of the most beautiful sunsets in Spain.

Why include Ibiza in your itinerary?

  • Ibiza’s heritage is extraordinary for a small island: the fortified upper town of Dalt Vila, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and the Puig des Molins necropolis are all part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing shared with its seagrass meadows.
  • The island’s coastline is remarkably varied, from the shallow turquoise waters of Cala Comte and Ses Salines to pine-fringed northern coves like Benirràs and Portinatx, and the mystical silhouette of Es Vedrà rising from the sea.
  • Ibiza is the gateway to Formentera, a low, serene island with Caribbean-coloured beaches such as Ses Illetes, just a short ferry crossing away and perfect for a day of swimming, unhurried exploring and seafood lunches.

Signature experiences in Ibiza

Dalt Vila, the Fortified Old Town

Ibiza’s iconic landmark is its walled upper town, raised by Renaissance engineers to resist Ottoman and corsair raids. Enter through the Portal de ses Taules, climb cobbled lanes past whitewashed houses and bougainvillea, and reach the cathedral square for views across the harbour to Formentera. The bastions, the contemporary art museum and the necropolis below all reward time. Our guided day tour explains the Phoenician, Moorish and Catalan layers that a casual visit easily misses.

Hippy Markets and Island Flavours

Ibiza’s living culture shows in its markets and kitchens. The Las Dalias market in Sant Carles and Punta Arabí in Es Canar fill with handmade jewellery, leather, linen and island crafts. Then taste the island: bullit de peix, a rich fish stew followed by saffron rice, sofrit pagès of slow-cooked meats, and flaó, a cheese and mint cake. Our guided day tours include market stops, and our team can arrange a private car for a seafood lunch.

Santa Eulària and the Villages of the North

For a different Ibiza, wander the gentle town of Santa Eulària des Riu, with its seafront promenade and the fortified white church of Puig de Missa above. Continue to the north’s farming villages, Sant Joan de Labritja, Sant Miquel and Sant Carles, with their simple whitewashed churches and almond and carob terraces. A private car with driver arranged by our team or our guided day tour makes it easy to string these villages together.

Formentera by Ferry

The essential day trip from Ibiza is a ferry crossing of around thirty minutes to Formentera. Head for Ses Illetes, a narrow sandy spit with water so clear it resembles the Caribbean, visit the cliffs and lighthouse at Cap de Barbaria, and stop in the small capital, Sant Francesc. We issue ferry tickets from Ibiza port, and our guided day tours include transport around Formentera with our trusted local partners.

Sunset at Es Vedrà and the West Coast Coves

On the southwest coast, the limestone island of Es Vedrà rises nearly four hundred metres from the sea, surrounded by legends. Watch the sun sink behind it from Cala d’Hort or the clifftop Torre des Savinar, after an afternoon swimming at Cala Comte or Cala Tarida. Our guided day tours and private drivers time the route for the light, so you reach the viewpoint before the evening crowds.

Neighbourhoods and quarters to know in Ibiza

Ibiza Town and the Marina

The capital is the best base for culture and convenience, with Dalt Vila above, the lively Marina and harbour below and the ferries to Formentera at your door. It is safe and walkable, with excellent restaurants and boutique hotels. The adjacent beaches of Talamanca and Ses Figueretes add sea access within minutes. It can be busy in midsummer evenings.

Santa Eulària des Riu

Ibiza’s most family-friendly town, with a long palm-lined promenade, a calm sandy beach, a pleasant river walk and a strong sense of local life. It is quiet, safe and very well suited to couples, families and older travellers. From here, the northern coves and the Las Dalias and Es Canar markets are close by car.

Sant Antoni and the West Coast

Sant Antoni is famous for its sunsets over the bay, with coastal promenades facing the evening sky. The town centre is lively in summer, so many travellers prefer the coves just outside it, Cala Gració, Cala Salada and Cala Bassa, with their clear water and quieter hotels. Safe and well connected, it is twenty-five minutes from the airport.

The North and Sant Joan

The north of Ibiza is green, hilly and peaceful, with rural agroturismo farmhouse hotels, pine-backed coves like Portinatx and Cala Xarraca, and the bohemian village of Sant Joan de Labritja. It is very safe and calm, ideal for honeymooners and travellers seeking nature. Distances are longer, so a private car with driver arranged by our team is valuable.

How long to stay in Ibiza and how to pair it

Recommended stay

Four to five nights is ideal for a first visit to Ibiza: one day for Dalt Vila and the Marina, one for Formentera by ferry, one for the northern villages and markets, and a day or two for coves and the Es Vedrà sunset. Families and couples often stay a full week.

How to pair it

Ibiza connects easily by ferry and short flights to mainland Spain and the other Balearic Islands. A seven-day trip could pair three nights in Barcelona with four in Ibiza. For ten days, add Mallorca by ferry or air. A fourteen-day loop might combine Madrid, Valencia or Barcelona with Ibiza and Mallorca, or link Ibiza with Andalusia via Malaga, Seville and Granada. Our team issues the flights and ferry tickets and arranges private airport transfers at each stop.

Best time to visit Ibiza and the rhythm of the day

Best months

The best time to visit Ibiza is late May to June and September to early October, when the sea is warm, days are long and sunny, and the island is calmer than in midsummer. July and August are hot and busiest. From November to April, Ibiza is quiet, green and mild, with many seasonal hotels closed but the old town at its most authentic.

The daily rhythm

Ibiza follows a Mediterranean rhythm. Mornings are for markets, the old town or an early swim before the heat. Lunch is long and late, around two, often at a beachside restaurant, followed by a rest. In the late afternoon travellers drift west for the sunset, and dinner rarely starts before nine, with evenings spent strolling the Marina or village squares.

On-the-ground logistics in Ibiza

Arrival

Ibiza Airport lies about seven kilometres southwest of Ibiza Town. Transfers take around fifteen to twenty minutes to Ibiza Town, twenty-five to Sant Antoni and thirty to thirty-five to Santa Eulària or the north. Ferry passengers arrive at Ibiza port, right beside the Marina. Our private airport transfer meets you at arrivals and saves the long summer taxi queues.

Getting around

Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària are pleasantly walkable, and island buses link the main towns and some beaches, though services thin out in the north and outside summer. Licensed taxis are available but can be scarce at peak hours, and ride-hailing apps have limited coverage. For coves, villages and sunsets, a private car with driver arranged by our team is the easiest way to explore.

Local etiquette tip

The custom visitors most often miss in Ibiza is that swimwear stays on the beach: walking shirtless or in a bikini through Ibiza Town, shops or churches is frowned upon and, in some Spanish towns, fined. Cover shoulders when entering churches such as Puig de Missa, and remember that lunch and dinner times are much later than in northern Europe.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask most about Ibiza.

Where should first-time visitors stay in Ibiza?

Ibiza Town is the best base for first-time visitors, with Dalt Vila, the Marina, beaches and the Formentera ferry close by. Santa Eulària suits families and couples seeking calm, while the north offers rural peace. The coves around Sant Antoni are ideal for sunsets. Our private transfers reach every area.

Can Ibiza be done as a day trip, or does it need an overnight stay?

Ibiza needs an overnight stay. Reaching it requires a flight or ferry from the mainland or Mallorca, and its old town, coves, markets and sunsets take several days to enjoy. A day trip from nearby Formentera is possible, but we recommend at least four nights on Ibiza.

What is the dress code and etiquette in Ibiza?

Ibiza is relaxed and stylish, but swimwear belongs on the beach. Cover up in towns, shops and restaurants, and cover shoulders in churches. Greet people with a friendly hola, expect late meal times and respect protected areas such as the Posidonia meadows and Es Vedrà.

Is Ibiza tourist friendly?

Yes, Ibiza is very tourist friendly. English is widely spoken, signage is clear, the airport is close to every town, and hotels range from family resorts to rural farmhouses. Locals are welcoming. Our team and trusted local partners arrange transfers, ferry tickets and day tours to make every step easy.

Is it safe to travel to Ibiza now?

Ibiza is generally a safe destination. Keep an eye on belongings in busy summer areas, take care on coastal paths and swim where conditions are calm. Before departure, check your own government’s official travel advice, and keep our WhatsApp line handy for any assistance during your stay.

What are the must-do things in Ibiza?

Must-do things in Ibiza include exploring Dalt Vila, taking the ferry to Formentera’s Ses Illetes, watching the sunset at Es Vedrà, browsing the Las Dalias market, swimming at Cala Comte and visiting Santa Eulària and the northern villages. Our guided day tours cover these highlights comfortably.

How many days do you need in Ibiza?

Four to five days in Ibiza is ideal for a first visit, enough for Dalt Vila, a Formentera day, the northern villages and several coves and sunsets. With a week you can slow down fully or add Mallorca by ferry. Our team can plan the complete Balearic itinerary.

What can I book in Ibiza with Haqqi Tours?

Day tours, private airport transfers, flight tickets and ferry tickets, including Beach Hopping Cruise with Paddleboard and Lunch Ibiza, Formentera Full-Day All-Inclusive Boat Trip from Ibiza and Ibiza to Formentera Return Ferry Ticket. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Ibiza?

Ibiza Airport (IBZ), also called Es Codola, is a single-terminal airport about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town; Playa d'en Bossa is 4 km away, San Antonio about 18 km and Santa Eulalia about 22 km by road. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.

Is there public transport from the airport to Ibiza?

Bus line 10 links the airport with Ibiza Town and the ferry port in about 20 minutes and is fine for a light trip to the centre, while the resorts in the north and west need changes in town, and taxis queue in summer; a private car takes you straight to your hotel or villa. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Which tours are available in Ibiza?

Among them: Beach Hopping Cruise with Paddleboard and Lunch Ibiza, Formentera Full-Day All-Inclusive Boat Trip from Ibiza, Ibiza to Formentera Return Ferry Ticket and Jeep Safari Tour with Viewpoints and Beaches Ibiza. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.

Are the tours private or in a group?

Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

How do I book?

Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.

Are the prices fixed?

Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.

Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?

It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.

Can I change or cancel a booking in Ibiza?

Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
