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.
Ibiza's museums, and which one to pick
This is not a museum island and the honest list is short. Puig des Molins, above Ibiza Town, is a Phoenician and Punic necropolis of some three thousand rock-cut tombs with a small museum on top. The archaeology museum up in Dalt Vila displays the Tanit terracottas from the Es Culleram cave, and the contemporary art museum occupies the old powder magazine. All close Mondays.
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 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.
When to go to Ibiza
