Holiday houses & apartments on Ibiza

Whereas Ibiza Town is the hotspot for nightlife and history in Ibiza, there’s plenty more to the island if you’d like to explore something a little different. San Antoni de Portmany has grown from a sleepy fishing village to a community with a buzzing atmosphere, a gorgeous promenade that's excellent for romantic walks and the West End district, which has many bars to choose from. At Santa Eulària des Riu, discover the 15th-century Puig D’Missa church at the top of the hill for unforgettable views and tranquillity that’s worlds away from the bustle of Ibiza Town. Sant Josep de sa Talaia has many beaches nearby, including Cala Comte and Port des Torrent, and you can take part in tennis, go-karting and horseriding in the area.

From London, it takes around five hours to reach Ibiza with a direct flight. If you are coming from the North, it will take you just six hours from Edinburgh. Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is just a few minutes from the centre of Ibiza by taxi, meaning you’ll likely arrive at your holiday home in no time. If you want to make your journey an experience, you can drive to Plymouth and take a ferry to Santander. After that you can drive across Spain to get to Ibiza.

Naturally, the middle of summer is the high season on the island, which is the best time to sunbathe, swim and go on aquatic adventures. From May to October, you can expect temperatures to in the 20s and above. Spring and autumn are great times to visit, especially if you’d like to beat the crowds and do some hiking and cycling in slightly cooler weather. Even in winter, Ibiza is never truly cold. Also, you’ll be treated to the almond blossoms that sprout in this season, giving the island a distinctly romantic ambience.

There’s everything you’d expect from a world-class beach destination on the island, including unforgettable watersports such as scuba diving and parasailing, as well as boat tours of the coast or quick jaunts from town to town by speedboat. The forests around Cala Saladeta and Cala Benirrás are stunning, and excellent for hiking when you’ve had enough of sitting in the sun. If you just want to kick back, Es Portitxol and Cala Llarga are two of the most popular beaches in Ibiza. Cala Llarga, in the south end of the island, has a nice secluded feel that is ideal for families. Historic landmarks include the Necropolis del Puig des Molins and its 4,000 tombs, and the 13th-century Cathedral of Our Lady of the Snows.

Whatever your priority, be it proximity to the beach, nature trails or your bed after a long night out, holiday homes in Ibiza are the ideal way to appreciate the island at its best. Las Dalias Night Time Market and San Rafael Artisan Market are excellent for stocking up on food and gifts. There are plenty of supermarkets in Ibiza Town too so you can shop for local goodies such as sobrassada sausage, bread, olives and tomatoes, and whip up your own feasts to share with loved ones. Alternatively, book a holiday apartment in Ibiza, at the centre of the action, and step out to a world of restaurants. Knowing you’ll find quality homes with safe booking means you can focus on just having a good time in Ibiza.
