What's actually worth your time in Ibiza
Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, joined the UNESCO list in 1999 for its Renaissance bastions, and the free climb through the Portal de ses Taules is the island's best hour. Ses Salines' salt pans and the Posidonia meadows offshore are listed with it. Benirras draws a drum circle on Sunday evenings. Cala Comte and Cala Salada earn the drive; Es Vedra is purely a viewpoint.
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.
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.
When the weather turns in Ibiza
Bad weather belongs to the off-season, when most of the coast is shuttered anyway. Dalt Vila's cathedral, the contemporary art museum and the necropolis collection cover a morning. Las Dalias at San Carlos runs its hippy market under canopies on Saturdays year-round. Otherwise the honest answer is a long inland lunch at Santa Gertrudis, which is what residents do.
