Ibiza Area Guide

The island of Ibiza only has a surface area of 572 km² with the greatest distance to be covered by road just 40 km; which in turn means that all of the beautiful beaches and secluded coves are within an hour's drive of wherever you are staying.

The easiest way to explore the coastline and beaches is by hiring a car although some of the beaches can be reached by bus and / or local ferry services from the major resorts.

Average Water Temperatures May 18.5ºC; June 21.5ºC; July, August and September 26ºC; October 24.5ºC. Almost all of the beaches have bars or restaurants and we have listed below where they all are on the island.

Ibiza is packed full of spectacular surprises if you head for the forests and hilly inland areas where you will find all the traditional Spanish whitewashed villages among many other local attractions in Ibiza.

 

Because of its compact layout and small size, all of the beautiful beaches and secluded coves on the island of Ibiza are within an hour's drive of wherever you are staying. The easiest way to get to them is by hiring a car, although some of the beaches can be reached by bus or local ferry services from major resorts.

 

Club de Golf Ibiza has two courses in the island: one 9 hole at the Roca Lisa Club and one 18 hole in the Santa Eulalia area. We have provided full details on the Ibiza golf course layouts, together with contact details so that you can make reservations.

 

Ibiza Town has some fabulous restaurants in historic settings, with panoramic views or just with exceptional ambience.

Ibiza is a wonderful place to shop with international and local crafts providing some fabulous souvenirs. We have provided some information on shopping in Ibiza which tells you where the main shopping areas are, together with a guide to all the Ibiza markets and when they are held.

 

If you are planning to explore the area outside of the city centre and play some golf or go to some of the more out of the way beaches then you might consider hiring a car. There are a number of car hire firms based at Mahon Airport who will be pleased to have a vehicle awaiting your arrival. This also cuts down on transfer costs for you and your family.
