Ibiza Vacation Rentals

Ibiza may be known for its vibrant nightlife, but there is a lot more to enjoy on this gorgeous island, including secluded beaches, culinary delights, historic sites, and much more. From elegant apartments to villas with pools, a variety of vacation rentals help make your trip one to remember.

Getting to Ibiza: arrive in Ibiza in style

Ibiza airport is located 3km from the town of Sant Jordi de ses Salines. The airport is the main entry point for those arriving on the Spanish island. Upon arrival, you can take a taxi to your Ibiza vacation rental or you can reach most destinations by local bus. If you opt for a taxi, don’t agree to a fixed price, it will nearly always be more expensive than using the taxi meter.

It is possible to reach Ibiza by boat from Valencia, Barcelona and Majorca. Boat trips from the mainland take between eight and ten hours and operate all year round.

Food and drink in Ibiza: Ibiza's gastronomical delights

Being part of Spain, Ibiza is home to Mediterraniean cooking. However, due to its developed tourist industry a wide variety of international cuisine is readily available. As is common in southern Europe, many restaurants open for the lunch service and then again for dinner. Though in populated areas cafés and bars will open continually though they may offer limited menu. Paella, tapas, sofrit pages (a sausage and potato-based dish) and the local honey cheesecake 'flao' are just some of the delights to be sampled when you visit and stay in an Ibiza vacation rental. When it comes to drinks, nothing captures the essence of Spain quite like a glass, or jug, of sangria.

Weather in Ibiza: bask in the sunshine of beautiful Ibiza

Ibiza offers visitors the classic Mediterranean climate. In the summer temperatures reach the highs of 20°C and even 30°C, while the winter months still hover around the mid to low-teens. Rainfall is more common in the winter between October and March. However, even throughout this period it only rains an average of ten days per month. Summer brings long, hot days and you can expect around 13 hours of sunshine.

Ibiza vacation rentals are perfect for those who love golden beaches. Sea temperatures are hot in the summer, and even in winter are an astonishing 15°C.

Ibiza attractions: explore the delights of hidden Ibiza

Taking a boat trip is one of the most pleasant ways to explore the island. Full and half-day excursions are available and you can easily book a tour at one of many kiosks located across the island. In the south-west of the island is downtown Ibiza. The town is often eschewed in favour of the beaches. However, it boasts a magnificent medieval castle, historic streets and delightful shops.

Back in the swinging '60s, the island became synonymous with hippy culture. Though times have moved on, you can still experience the alternative culture at the Es Caná and San Carlos hippy markets. Pick up vintage collectables and colourful clothing for a unique souvenir of the island. Puerto de San Miguel is home to one of Ibiza's natural wonders; caves. Be in awe of the fossilised structures, which according to legend, have long been the home of smugglers.

Experience the nightlife in Ibiza: what to do in the evenings

Ibiza is notorious for its nightlife, but if you think it's the exclusive domain of the young, you'd be wrong. The bars and clubs which span the south of the island are frequented by people of all ages who love to party. Away from the club scene, Ibiza offers a far more temperate nightlife. If you're looking for a more sedate evening, why not spend it close to your Ibiza vacation rental and relax over dinner and wine at one of the many bistros in the coves of the coastline, before taking a quiet stroll home.

A good tip is to look for somewhere populated with locals, and you won't go wrong. It's also a great idea to utilise your Ibiza vacation home and spend an evening in, relaxing on the terrace over wine and tapas with your friends and family.
