Additional Tips for Visiting Ibiza
When to Visit: The best time to visit Ibiza is in the spring (April to June) or in the fall (September to October). During these months, the weather is warm but not too hot, and the island isn’t overcrowded. I visited in early May, and the temperatures were perfect for exploring. Avoid the summer (July and August) when the island gets extremely crowded and hot.
Getting Around: Ibiza is best explored by scooter or car. Rent one to visit hidden beaches and remote areas. The public transport system is available but may be less convenient for exploring off-the-beaten-path locations.
Dress Appropriately: Ibiza can get very hot, especially in the summer. Wear comfortable clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring lightweight clothing, and if you plan to visit beaches, pack swimwear and flip-flops for a day in the sun.

Whether you’re exploring hidden coves, sipping cocktails with a view, or dancing beneath the stars, Ibiza offers something for every kind of traveler. It's a destination that lingers in your heart long after you’ve left.
