Where is Ibiza?
Ibiza is a small island lying 90 km off the East coast of Spain, in the Western Mediterranean. It is part of the Balearic islands.

Ibiza is only a two hour flight from most major European Capitals (London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Zurich), and a four hour Ferry ride from Denia or Alicante on the coast of mainland Spain (now only 2 hours with the new super-fast ferries).

What are the Balearics?
The Balearic islands (in Spanish, the 'Baleares'), are made up of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera (which is a small island lying visibly just off the South coast of Ibiza). They belong to Spain and are a favourite holiday resort in the Mediterranean and Europe, both as a stand alone destination, and as a popular stop over as part of a European tour.

Indeed, Ibiza has to be one of the most beautiful and entertaining holiday resorts in the world, enjoying a wonderful mixture of culture, vegetation, beaches and nightlife.

How Big is Ibiza?
Ibiza is only 45 km long and 25 km wide, and has a year round population of 100.000. This of course increases dramatically during the summer months, when many seasonal workers and tourists descend upon the island. Most of the population is centered in and around the three major towns: the capital Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia.

Distances:
Ibiza Town - San Antonio: 16 Km
Ibiza Town - Santa Eulalia: 15 Km
San Antonio - Santa Eulalia: 17 Km
The Summer season runs from the 1st of May until the 31st October, although in recent years more hotels are offering all year accommodation.August is the fullest month, when it can get very crowded on both beaches and roads.

How developed is Ibiza?
Ibiza boasts an impressive, modern infrastructure: including an excellent public transport network, extensive mobile and fixed telephone network; running water and electricity in all towns and villages; highspeed internet access; and excellent travel connections to the rest of Europe and mainland Spain, by air and by sea.

Climate and Weather in Ibiza

Summer - May until October
The summer season and the first really warm beach days begin in May, with beautiful clear, sunny days and temperatures in the mid-twenties.

Between the months of June and September, there is very little rain fall. In August and September the temperature rises up to over 30º C. With water temperatures of 25º - 27º C, beach fans are right in their element.

What to Wear
May, June and September - In the evenings, when out and about, you might need a jumper or light jacket. Otherwise shorts, light-trousers and t-shirts will be ok. See the temperature charts above.
July and August - The really hot season starts. You ought to be fine with t-shirts, short sleeve shirts and shorts. Lightweight cotton trousers are popular amongst the locals.
October - pack a jumper and a jacket - best to be sure, as there are occasional rainy and windy days. The temperature in the evening can drop down to under 20º C!
Tip: May and October are really beautiful months to enjoy the island. There is a lots of room on the beaches and the island is very green and fresh.

Winter - November until April
Ibiza has a remarkably mild climate - even in winter the temperature rarely drops under 0º celsius. Snow is a sensation, and the children save snowballs for weeks by putting them in the fridge!

From November to April the average daytime temperature is about 15º celsius - however when the sun comes out this can rapidly climb to 25º C.

Ibiza in Winter is not a beach destination, although on sunny days you'll find sun-worshippers on the beach, many of whom still swim!

Ibiza in Winter is more a time for lazy beach walks, sport and touring around the island, stocking up on some well-needed Vitamin D (from all the sunshine!).

The winter on Ibiza is actually sunnier and warmer than on Mallorca, which of course makes a winter break here such a good idea. If you fancy visiting Ibiza in winter remember to pack some warm clothes, as not all houses and hotels are centrally-heated. It is often warmer outside than it is inside (at least in our house!).

In return, the winter guests have the island to themselves - beautiful, deserted beaches with no sun beds or sunshades to spoil the view, and the wonderful feeling of peace and tranquility for which Ibiza is so well known.
