Pick a side: Playa d'en Bossa / San Antonio for clubs and party energy, or Santa Eulalia / north coast for boutique-chic and family quiet. Don't try to mix both in 4 nights — you'll exhaust yourself.
Best For
Where to Stay
Ibiza Town (Eivissa)

San Antonio (Sant Antoni)
Sunset Strip cafés, club bars, younger crowd
Santa Eulalia
Family-friendly, marina, quieter beaches, restaurants without the party scene
North coast (San Joan)
Hippie market villages, secluded coves, boutique hotels, no clubs
Money-Saving Tips
- 1Club entry alone is €50–80; "pre-parties" and beach-bar early hours have the same DJs for free.
- 2Sit-down meals on Calle de la Virgen are 2x prices of small streets one block inland.
- 3Boat rentals split between 6–8 friends bring per-person cost to €60–80 — cheaper than club tickets, better story.
Getting Around
- 1Ibiza airport (IBZ) → Ibiza Town: airport bus L10 €3.50, 20 min. Taxi ~€20.
- 2Discobus runs Ibiza Town ↔ Playa d'en Bossa ↔ San Antonio late at night for €4 — beats €30 taxis at 5 am.
- 3Rent a small car or scooter for north-coast cove exploration — public buses to Cala d'Hort, Cala Comte, Es Vedrà are infrequent.
Most Common Mistake
Booking August in the north thinking it's "quiet" — it's the most expensive month everywhere on the island.
