Ibiza Travel Forum

Hi! Was wondering what kind of weather Ibiza has in January? I'll be there late Jan and will be coming from Paris (which is winter). What clothes do i need to bring? :) Thanks!

Ill be going to Ibiza in May 2008 with a few friends. We are in our early 30's and are looking for some good fun. We also like peace and rest in the afternoon. Where is the best area on the island to stay? We will only be there for four days and want to see and do as much as we can. Thanks.

I am thinking of going to Ibiza next year in Aug as our family holiday. Normally about 20 of us travel together and have been to Majorca, Cyprus, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Portugal etc etc (your main package holiday destinations) We are thinking of staying in the Ebano Apts in Playa d'en Bossa but I really want to know if its going to be way to lively/noisy/full of young drunken teens. I myself love clubbing however my mother and mother in law are in their late 50's and certainly dont! But they do like nice pubs to go to and also like going for walks during the day. Is this going to suit us. We travel with children ages from 4 - 10 and also 2 infants this year. Any help would be great.

Do the clubs accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard)?

I'm gonna be staying in Playa Den' Bossa at the last week of September for a week.

Thinking to rent a SCOOTER (pref 125cc) during the stay.
Could anyone give me an advice on best scooter rental deals in town?
BUDGET is the key word!

Also would like to get around the rest of the island by scooter (San An, Portinatx, Es Cana, etc).
Is that possible?
Has anyone tried it?

The plan is to use scooter as the main transport.

How about parking?
Regularly available anywhere?

If my questions are obseen, then how about pedals?
Any best bicycle rental deals?
Althought, not planning on trip to other towns by bicycle....
Maybe just to go to Ibiza town.


Thanks, guys.

I might end up traveling alone on the most desired trip so far in my life and I'm kinda bummed. Bought a ticket for the BF and now not so sure he will be coming along. So... I have a nice place in Santa Eulalia all to myself. I'm into the club scene but also want to explore the island and beaches. Would love to meet up with people, I've never traveled solo and can't say I'm looking forward to it. I'm 34 and live in the Washington DC area.
Thanks!

We are staying in Santa Eulalia for a week at the beginning of September. Any suggestions as to where to hire bikes from? Any good cycle routes?
Thanks,

Are there any (good, reliable) party tours for singles in Ibiza, Spain? Am looking to travel at the end of August.

Hello everybody!
In September my boyfriend and I are going to Ibiza for 2 weeks. I'm still having doubts because I know it's a party island and I also want to see "the other side of the island", if you know what I mean?
Could anyone give me some tips about the beautiful creeks on Ibiza and the other beautiful places to see?
Party hardy is cool, but not all the time and I really hope to see someting else then disco's.
Thanks in advance and enjoy your holidays!

Hi guys, rite i'm goin on holiday in 1st week of sept, i'm not a huge clubber but love going out and having a great night, just the idea of being squashed in like sardines and having druken idiots everywhere doesn't appeal.....is that really what it's like???my friends will probably do the big clubs where i love the sound of the sunset strip and the beach bars,chilling and watching the sunsets. what's a girl to do?...the sound of stayin in the apprtment at night on my own seems fantastic...NOT!!!basically am i taking a risk by going away with them?do i or do i not go??? any advice would be much appriciated, i have untio the weekend to decide.

Fuel oil from a freighter that sank after hitting a well-charted rock off the coast of Ibiza continues to be washed ashore, driven by strong winds. Affected beaches are: Platja de Talamanca and Platja d'en Bossa. Beaches in South-West Ibiza are currently most at risk. The Greenpeace vessel "Rainbow Warrior" is patrolling the zone.

I was thinking of staying on Ibiza's South Coast but a friend of mine has just sent me news that a freighter has collided with a rock close offshore and sunk. Apparently, according to the El Pais article, it is leaking 150 tons of heavy fuel oil and stiff winds are driving the spill on to the beaches. What should I do - cancel or rejoice that I can save money on sun screen? I don't know what the filter factor for fuel oil is but I imagine it must be a 100 plus.

He sent me the news story but as you can see, it is all in Spanish (see below).

Has anyone ever camped here before? Any recommendations or suggestions? Do you think it's safe for a solo female traveller to camp there?

Thanks, All!

We are staying in Valencia and really wanted to do a day trip to Ibiza but I cannot find any ferry company offering a return sailing on one day ? Does anyone know of another option, another ferry company or a private hire possibly ? Any help much appreciated !

Me and my friends are looking to go to Ibiza in the first week of September. Will the clubs still be busy and the island lively? Also, is it really expensive?

Hi Everyone

I'll be out in San Antonio between the above dates on my own, are there any other solo traveller that wanna meet up?

VTmail me if interested - we could have our very own VT meeting!

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have just booked a last minute holiday to Portinax but the deal did not include any transfers from Ibiza airport to the hotel.

Can anyone advise on how much it should cost so we do not get ripped off?

Tried loking online and it is ranging from £90 - £200.......

Please please any advice would be very helpful. This was meant to be a bargain deal before my baby arrives but all of a sudden it is becomming very expensive!

Thanks in advance

Claire & bump

I know this isn't the most appropriate place to post, but I have used CouchSurfing to find a couch to crash for these few days I'm in Ibiza... Am trying to book a cheap hostel, but am finding at this time of year, a min. requirement is 4 days....

If anyone is interested, please reply or email me.

Biiiiiig Thanks!

From what I have read and been told I need to rent a car in Ibiza. How are the driving conditions there? When I go it will be with a large group of people, so we would rent two 7 person cars; will they be easy to manuever around the island? Also, if I am going to rent cars to go to the beaches I would rather stay closer to nightlife so we can walk, on what part of the island should i stay. lastly, what are your favorite beaches? I would love to go to the ones with white sand and crystal blue water.

Thanks!

Is there anywhere to stay on the island where you wouldn't need to have a car the entire time to go to the beaches and nightlife? If so, is this a beautiful part of the island?
