What first-timers get wrong in Ibiza
Season is everything: arriving in November means shuttered clubs, closed restaurants and no Discobus. Club tickets cost less bought online in advance than at the door, and a table is never required. Taxis are metered, scarce and cannot reliably be flagged, so use the ranks or the app. Hire cars need booking months out, and parking near the popular calas fills by ten in the morning.
What things cost in Ibiza
Club entry is 40 to 90 euro on a standard night and considerably more for openings and closings, while a bottle of water inside can reach 12. A sunbed at one of the famous calas runs 25 to 40 for the day. The Discobus costs a few euro a ride. Away from the coast, a menu in a village bar still comes in around 15.
Ibiza with kids, realistically
Families give San Antonio's West End a wide berth and base themselves in Santa Eularia, Cala Llonga or Portinatx, where the bays shelve gently and the noise stops early. Aguamar water park at Playa d'en Bossa suits primary ages. The Formentera ferry from Ibiza Town takes about half an hour and buys a beach day away from the sound systems. Dalt Vila's ramps are steep but passable.
What to eat in Ibiza
Island cooking is fisherman's food rather than club food: bullit de peix, a two-part fish stew whose broth then cooks the rice, and sofrit pages, the winter meat-and-potato dish. Ask for flao, the mint and fresh-cheese tart, with hierbas ibicencas afterwards. Santa Gertrudis inland and the fishing shacks at Es Calo and Cala Mastella serve the versions worth eating.
Ibiza after dark
The club season opens in late April and closes in early October, and outside those months the big rooms are dark. Ushuaia runs open-air and has to stop around midnight, which is why the crowd crosses the road to Hi; Pacha, Amnesia and DC10 go to dawn. Entry typically runs 40 to 90 euro and drinks inside are punishing. The Discobus links the towns overnight.
