Visitor Information

Situated in the south of the Balearic Islands in the Western Mediterranean, Ibiza has an area of 572 km2 (222 square miles), longest journey across the island is just 40 km (25 miles!), and a beautiful coast that stretches along 210 km . It is the third biggest island in the archipelago and, together with its small sister Formentera, it forms the "Pitiusas", a name given by the Greeks, meaning "islands of pine trees".

Due to its convenient location in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the proximity of the African coast, Ibiza benefits from a continental, generally temperate climate, boasting dry summers with an average temperature of approximately 25-30º C (77- 86 ºF ), and damp, mild winters with little rain and an average temperature of 15- 20ºC (59-68º F), thus guarantying a pleasant stay all year round.

As a historically strategic enclave in the Mediterranean, Ibiza has been home to a set of different cultures that left their influence throughout the centuries, resulting into a cultural contrast still perceptible on the island. The most cosmopolitan atmosphere becomes harmoniously intermingled with ancient traditions and the island's genuine landscape.

With its wonderful climate, position in the Mediterranean, its excellent sunshine record and its historical heritage the island of Ibiza has everything to offer the tourist and the holiday maker.

Ibiza island / Useful tips
Use our tips below to help plan the perfect holiday in Ibiza:


- Bear in mind the time of the year you're planning to visit the island. High season usually starts in middle June and finishes around the beginning of October. During that period, you'll find a more lively atmosphere, a hotter climate and a wider choice of entertainment. Our advice is to come any time during the months of April, May, June.but beware! In August, as you may well imagine, the island is very crowded and the island's resources become scarce.

- Due to the same reason, take into account the opening and closing dates of hotels and main clubs. Not all hotels remain open all year long, and discos usually open only during high season months.

-Public transport is quite limited in the island, so that we advise you to rent a car or a scooter, or alternatively check bus timetables before going out. Get out and about, don't spend every day at the hotel pool!

- Select the accommodation choice that best suits your needs. There are hotels right at the heart of tourist areas, so that you'll have most services and facilities at hand; and there are other accommodation possibilities in quiet areas: rural tourism hotels or hotels located far from urban centres. There are also hotels for families or with a younger atmosphere, with a wider range of facilities,.
