Ibiza
You can be here in August for about €1,217, 4 days, direct.
Why now
Prime time in August: 31°C days, dry, sea 28°C, peak fares.
The club season runs from late spring to early autumn and fills the island's rooms and roads; June and September have the same sea, open beaches and a more manageable island. Winter is quiet and many places close, but Dalt Vila and the northern villages stay open.
Best months here: June, September, October. August is not one of them — the label above measures the month against a fixed bar, not against the rest of the year here. Daytime highs, sea temperature and rainy days from three years of Open-Meteo reanalysis; a rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, which is the WMO threshold and not the same as "it drizzled".
The place
Ibiza is two islands in one: the club circuit around Playa d'en Bossa and Sant Antoni, and an older one of a walled hilltop town, pine-covered coves, hippy markets and a rural north where the noise does not reach. It suits people who know which of the two they want; the walled town and the north work out of season, the clubs only in it.
What you can do
- 01Walk up through Dalt Vila's ramparts to the cathedral in the late afternoon, then dinner on a terrace below.
- 02Take the boat from Ibiza Town to Formentera's Ses Illetes, 30 minutes to an hour, for the clearest water.
- 03Swim at Cala Salada, Cala Xarraca or Benirràs, where drums play at sunset on Sundays.
- 04See the Puig des Molins necropolis museum, Punic tombs cut into the hill below Dalt Vila.
- 05Eat bullit de peix at a fish restaurant on the coast, then flaó, the mint and cheese tart, after.
Where to stay · neighbourhoods
Stay in Ibiza Town or Santa Eulària for a first visit and hire a car for the coves; the club hotels of Playa d'en Bossa and Sant Antoni are for one thing only.
Unusual things
- ◦Sa Caleta's Phoenician settlement on a headland near the airport, with a red-cliffed beach and a fish restaurant below.
- ◦The Ses Salines salt pans on the road to the southern beaches, worked since Carthaginian times, with flamingos in winter.
- ◦Es Vedrà, the rock rising off the south-west coast, seen from the cliff path above Cala d'Hort in the evening.
