If you’re heading to Ibiza this summer, you already know the assignment –  sun-drenched days, next-level nights and memories that keep you going until next summer. To let you focus on having an epic time, we’ve pulled together a mini must-do list for you. Thank us later… 

WHAT TO PACK  

Bikinis and printed shirts, glitter and eye make-up, at least four pairs of sunnies and bucket hats… There’s a lot to consider when packing for your Ibiza holiday. Lucky for you, over-packer, we’ve got suitcase essentials nailed down in a separate blog here. 

WHERE TO STAY 

SAN ANTONIO

The blueprint party playground, San Antonio is for experiencing the wild Ibiza you’ve heard stories about.  

Ibiza Rocks Hotel 

Where the hotel is the party. Expect world-class DJs, neon-coloured sunbeds and peak energy levels. 

Hotel Vibra District 

Red or black? You’re always onto a winner with this two-toned Balearic base. You’ll be next to the beach and in dancing distance to the town centre too. 

Azuline S'Anfora & Fleming Hotel 

If you say “we’re barely going to be there” when booking your hotel, we found your beachy base.  

SAN ANTONIO BAY

Similar name, different vibes. If you’re looking for the peaceful San Antonio, don’t forget to add ‘Bay’ to your search. 

Ryans Lola’s Ibiza 

Add a pop of colour to your holiday by staying at this funky, adults-only hotel. Pool or beach? Your choice.  

Innside by Melia Ibiza Beach 

Crisp white interior, direct beach access, an infinity pool… could it be any more perfect? 

PLAYA D'EN BOSSA

The epicentre of the biggest clubs and most gorgeous beaches, Playa d’En Bossa is the definition of the best of both worlds. 

WHERE TO EAT 

You’ll need to fuel up to keep up with the long evenings-turned-mornings, and here are the top spots to do it. 

Aragma 

You might know it better for its sister branch, Tapas Ibiza, but this centrally located restaurant, looking over San Antonio marina, is a winner too. 

Monkey 

Some say the name’s appropriate, some disagree, but the one thing everyone can admit is that this is the best terraced restaurant on the isle. 

Rita’s Cantina 

Ibiza can get expensive, but it doesn’t have to. For a back-to-basics foodie spot with an unchanged menu and homemade meals, head to Rita’s Cantina.  

Sa Capella 

For a special occasion (AKA not the morning after you went out), choose the high-end Sa Capella hidden away in the San Antonio hills.  

WHERE TO DRINK 

A cheeky cocktail here, a crisp post-beach pint there… we all know what a getaway to Ibiza is like. 

Kumharas 

A sunset spot with every cocktail-lover’s name on it, Kumharas is fab for drinks, nibbles and DJ tunes.  

Cubanito  

As vibrant as the island itself, this rooftop bar was made for tipples and Instagram stories.  

S'Escalinata 

This iconic bar is less about the furnishings (it’s all bean bags and tiny tables) and more about the vibe. And the vibes here are elite.  

WHERE TO PARTY 

The reason you’re here – let’s make it good. 

Pacha 

The main character of Ibiza’s party scene, Pacha should be on your to-visit list, whether it’s your first or fiftieth time on the island. Their summer line-up is a mix of world-class and up-and-coming stars, taking to the decks from 25 April. 

Es Paradís 

The pyramid-shaped club you’ve seen all over your FYP? That’s Es Paradís. As iconic as Ibiza itself, this place also often snatches the title of the most beautiful club in the world. Care to see why? 

Eden 

Done with Es Paradis, but not with your evening? Jump from one paradise to another when you cross the street and enter Eden. This recently refurbished spot is known for its sound system, plus it’s currently the only place to host a dedicated DnB night.  

WHERE TO RELAX 

Need a quiet one for a change? The White Isle is ringed by top-tier beaches that aren’t all beach clubs and Balearic beats.  

Talamanca Beach  

Don’t fancy walking a mile before you find some towel space? The lengthy Talamanca Beach is your place. 

Cala Vadella 

When you’ve forgotten to pack the sarnies, head to Cala Vadella – the restaurant options will save your beach lunch without being overly buzzy or expensive.  

Cala Pluma 

Ditch the crowds and head to this champagne-sand stretch, just south of Ibiza Town. 

Cala Mastella 

Escape to total peace and quiet here. Bonus if you’re a sea foodie – the famous-yet-low-key El Bigotes restaurant is here.
