When is the best time to book cheap flights to Ibiza?

When is the cheapest time to visit Ibiza?
Peak season in Ibiza is mid-June to mid-September. This is when the weather’s warmest and party season’s in full swing. If you’re visiting at this time of year, you’ll need to book hotels and upscale restaurants well in advance.

Ibiza’s low season is from November to April, when accommodation is often around 50 percent cheaper than it is during peak season. During these months, most clubs and many hotels are closed, but you’ll find that quite a lot of the local restaurants, tapas joints and bars are still going strong.

How do I get from Ibiza Airport into Ibiza?
There are three airport bus routes in Ibiza but only one which runs all year round. Line 10 connects the airport with the Ibiza bus station, the port, and Sant Jordi. The Sant Jordi stop is about a 20-minute walk from Playa d'en Bossa.
Line 24 operates between 23 May and 15 October, and runs from the airport to Santa Eularia, Es Cana and Cala Nova. Line 9 is available from 1 June to 12 October. This route runs between the airport, the town of Sant Josep and the tourist resort of San Antonio.

If there aren't any taxis at the rank outside the terminal building, you can call Radio Taxi San José on +34 971 800 080.
What are the top things to do in Ibiza?
The most hedonistic of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Ibiza’s considered the party capital of the world. Once something of a hippie hangout, it’s now home to some of the globe’s best dance clubs, including Ushuaia, Pacha, Amnesia and the relatively new Hi Ibiza. From June to September each year, superstar DJs descend on the island – along with a few million tourists. So, if you’re planning an Ibiza holiday in the summer, it’ll likely revolve around clubbing. Dotted around popular tourist areas like Playa d'en Bossa, San Antonio and Es Cana, you’ll also find luxury beach clubs such as Nikki Beach, El Chiringuito and Blue Marlin. San Antonio’s sunset strip is home to world-famous cafes and bars, like Café Mambo and Café del Mar, and is the perfect place to catch an iconic Ibiza sunset.
Step away from the main tourist drag, though, and you’ll discover there’s far more to this beautiful pine-clad island. There are over 50 beaches hugging Ibiza’s coastline, and you can explore many in one day by hiring a boat. The interior and north of the island both remain relatively undeveloped, while in Ibiza Old Town – the fortified UNESCO World Heritage-listed quarter of Ibiza Town – you’ll find a castle, cathedral and quaint cobbled streets.
Do I need a visa to travel to Ibiza?
British passport holders don’t need a visa to travel to any country in the EU – you can stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. You just need to make sure that your passport has at least six months validity left, on the day you travel.
