Discover Ibiza
A historic Mediterranean island capital surrounded by beaches, coves and an extensive fast-ferry and overnight ferry network
Ibiza is much more than its famous nightlife. Ibiza Town combines a busy Mediterranean harbour with Dalt Vila, the fortified upper town whose walls and historic core form part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing.
Inside the old walls, steep lanes lead past viewpoints, churches and whitewashed buildings towards the cathedral. Below, the marina and harbour districts are packed with restaurants, shops and evening activity.
Beyond the capital, Ibiza’s appeal comes from coves, pine-covered hills, beach clubs, quiet villages and viewpoints across the western coast. Ses Salines, Cala Comte and the landscape around Es Vedrà are among the island’s most recognisable experiences.
Ferries are also central to island life. Fast services make Formentera an easy day trip, while longer routes connect Ibiza with Mallorca, Menorca and mainland ports including Dénia, Valencia and Barcelona.
Because operator and berth arrangements can change by route and season, passengers should check the terminal instructions attached to the actual booking rather than relying only on a general port location.
