Planning a anniversary getaway in Ibiza
Beach-club mornings, fortified old town evenings, hippie-market afternoons in the north. For two, decide between a hotel with service and a private rental with space — Expedia lists both in Ibiza, so you can weigh price, location and reviews in one search.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Common questions
What's the best stay for an anniversary?
For two, a romantic boutique hotel or a private whole-home rental with a view, a hot tub, or a great terrace makes the trip. Choose somewhere central so you can walk to dinner without a car.
How do we make it special?
Book a place with a standout feature — a plunge pool, a sea or skyline view, a fireplace — and pick a walkable neighbourhood near the restaurants and sights you want. Mention the occasion; many hosts and hotels add a small touch.
When should we book?
Two to three months ahead for weekends; sooner for peak season or a specific view. Free-cancellation listings let you hold the date and adjust if plans change.
