Ibiza is much more than music and clubs. It's a Mediterranean island of extraordinary beauty, with offerings that go far beyond nightlife. If you're wondering what to do in Ibiza, the answer is: almost everything. Here's the definitive guide to making the most of it in 2026.
Parties and Nightlife in Ibiza
Yes, we're starting here — because it's impossible to talk about Ibiza without talking about its clubs. Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa, Hi Ibiza, Ushuaïa and [UNVRS] are some of the best clubs in the world, and their 2026 season kicks off on April 24th with the famous opening parties. If you're visiting during the season, plan at least one or two club nights. Use Ibiza Calendar to see the complete events calendar and buy tickets.
Boat Parties
One of Ibiza's most special experiences. Boat parties combine music, sun, sea and the stunning Ibiza coastline all in one plan. There are options for every taste: daytime parties, sunset cruises, and exclusive private charters. A must-do at least once during your visit.
Ibiza's Beaches
Ibiza has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Ses Salines is the most famous and crowded, with a fashionable atmosphere and crystal-clear waters. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are hidden gems in the north, quieter and more natural. Cala Comte offers stunning sunset views. And if you're looking for something completely remote, the northern coves like Cala Xarraca or Benirràs are perfect.
Water Sports
Ibiza's waters are perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling and diving. The underwater visibility is exceptional, especially in the northern coves. Several companies offer diving excursions for all levels from the ports of Ibiza and San Antonio.
Ibiza Gastronomy
Ibiza cuisine is a blend of Mediterranean flavors with unique local influences. Don't leave without trying the bullit de peix (traditional fish stew), sofrit pagès, or ensaimada ibicenca (sweet pastry). For more premium experiences, the beachfront restaurants in Santa Eulàlia or the old town of Dalt Vila offer top-level gastronomy.
Dalt Vila — Ibiza's Old Town
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the walled fortress of Dalt Vila is one of the most impressive places in the Balearic Islands. Walking through its cobblestone streets, visiting the cathedral and enjoying panoramic views of the port is a completely different experience from Ibiza's club scene — and equally memorable.
Excursions from Ibiza
Don't stay on the main island alone. Formentera is just 30 minutes away by ferry and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Es Vedrà, the mysterious volcanic islet south of the island, can be seen from the sea by boat or from the Cap Llentrisca viewpoint. And if you want to explore inland, the villages of Santa Gertrudis and Sant Carles de Peralta have an authenticity that few tourists discover.
Las Dalias Artisan Market
If you visit Ibiza during season, the Las Dalias market in Sant Carles is a must-visit. Boho clothing, handcrafted jewelry, leather goods and live music in an atmosphere that perfectly captures the island's alternative spirit.
