It’s no secret that Ibiza is bursting with glitz and glamour. A-listers flock to the island every year to sample lavish parties, world-renowned DJ sets and a spectacular club scene. Picturesque towns, infamous sunsets and nightlife like no other make this Balearic beauty tough to beat. But what if we told you travelling to Ibiza didn’t have to blow the budget? If you’re a penny-saving partygoer, read on...

Accommodation is key

Whether you’re taking off as a two or on a getaway with the gang, the best way to save spends in Ibiza is to choose your accommodation wisely – and a self-catered apartment is a great place to start. You’ll have heaps of space, fab facilities and the option to cook your own meals, which can be a real money-saver. Buy ingredients for your favourite go-to meals from supermarkets and you’ll be good to go. There’s a large one close to the airport too, so you can stock up as soon as you arrive.

A tip for transport

Seeking a wallet-friendly way to whizz around the island? We’ve got you. The cost of taxis can quickly add up when you’re on holiday, especially if you love getting out and about, so why not hop on the bus? You’ll reach your destination at a fraction of the cost, and there are a number of lines connecting all the major resorts. It’s a great alternative if you’re protecting the pennies.

Another pocket-friendly way to see the island is by hiring a car. You’ll discover hidden coves and secret swim spots when you head off the beaten track, and they’re excellent for supermarket runs too! Splitting the cost between everyone makes this a super-affordable option, and you’re sure to create memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Bringing flexi back

Another way to bag a bargain is to be flexible with your dates. Opting for an off-peak break can really make your money stretch further, and you’ll get to enjoy a bunch of other perks too. If you jet off in spring or autumn, you can expect less crowds and more choice when it comes to hotels. You can also take advantage of the slightly cooler weather, which means island adventures and hikes to find the perfect photo spot can be top of the list!

Set on a summer stay? Not a problem. You can still cut costs if you’re flexible with your flying days. We offer any-duration holidays too, so you can alter the length of your stay according to your budget.

Live like a local

While Ibiza is terrific for tourists, there’s a lot of money to be saved if you’re willing to venture away from the iconic spots. Family-run cafés, local restaurants and chiringuitos are not only friendly on the purse strings, but they’ll give you a more authentic taste of Ibiza too. Expect outstanding value for delicious dishes – we’re talking fresh fish, omelettes, salads, the lot!

When it comes to drinking, nightclubs are notoriously pricey, so it’s a good idea to opt for cheaper, local bars if you’re after a cocktail or two. For those on a self-catered stay, you could even enjoy a few supermarket tipples in the comfort of your accommodation, before heading out to dance the night away!

Free ways to fill your days

The best things in life are often free, so make sure you’re filling your day with freebies in Ibiza. Spend hours lounging on blissful beaches, or perch on the rocks at San Antonio's Sunset Strip and marvel at the fiery skies – you won’t have to spend a penny! Es Cana's Hippy Market is an absolute must too, and you could even bag a bargain if you fancy getting your haggle on.

Like getting active while you’re abroad? The White Isle is a total hiking hotspot. It’s free of charge everywhere you go, and you’ll discover endless Insta-worthy backdrops. Think pine-covered valleys, picturesque olive groves and scenic coastal paths – what could be better? If nature’s not really your thing, then the charming Old Town is sure to hit the spot. You’ll find whitewashed boutiques, cobbled walkways and a set of thigh-burning steps leading up to the castle – and the views are totally worth it!

So, are you ready for sun, sea and savings? The White Isle is waiting…
