Day 1

Ibiza Town & the Old Walls

DALT VILA · MARINA · SUNSET
  1. ~9:00a
  2. ~10:30a
  3. ~12:30p
  4. ~1:30p
  5. ~4:00p
  6. 7:30p

Ibiza is far more than its clubs — Dalt Vila's walled old town is a genuine UNESCO gem, and the island's boho-chic style and food scene are the real draw by day. The hippie markets are a fun, only-in-Ibiza browse.

Day 2

Hidden Coves & Es Vedrà

CALAS · ES VEDRÀ · CALA D'HORT
  1. ~9:30a
  2. ~12:00p
  3. ~1:30p
  4. ~4:00p
  5. ~7:00p

The hidden calas are Ibiza's natural glory — many are best reached by boat. Es Vedrà is the island's mystical icon; the west coast owns the legendary sunsets (Benirràs on a Sunday for the drummers).

Day 3

Formentera Day Trip

FERRY · ILLETES · CALA SAONA
  1. ~9:00a
  2. ~10:30a
  3. ~1:00p
  4. ~3:00p
  5. ~6:00p
  6. ~8:30p

Formentera is the perfect day trip — Ses Illetes is one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful beaches. Rent a bike or scooter to explore; the island is small, flat, and gloriously unspoiled.

Getting around Ibiza

Ibiza is small but its beaches, clubs, and villages are scattered, so a rental car or scooter is the flexible option; buses connect the main towns and a Discobus runs to the clubs in season, while taxis can be scarce on summer nights. Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni are the two hubs, and the airport is a short drive from most resorts.
