Where to stay in Ibiza for any kind of holiday

Set on the south side of the island, Ibiza Town centres around a natural harbour and is filled to the brim with chic places to eat, drink and shop. There are plenty of high-profile hotels to stay at, like the deluxe Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, as well as a few hotels and hostals. Heart and Pacha are situated here, but if you’re not after the party scene, simply take your time enjoying the harbourside, La Marina; Passeig Maritim makes for a good starting point with its upmarket setting.

Largely undeveloped, the northwest area of Ibiza makes for a somewhat secluded stay; although as you’ll discover once you get here, there’s more than enough going on. This is a great area to base yourself if you want to get out and about, with excellent inland and coastal hiking trails, awesome snorkelling spots and near-deserted beaches to swim off from. This is certainly the place to come if you’re after a slower pace and to see the traditional side of the island; there are hippy markets, citrus groves and horseshoe-shaped bays to fall in love with.

The southern part of Ibiza is another viable option, thanks to its three resorts in quiet bay areas and plethora of restaurants, clubs and bars. While there are plenty of bays, beaches and coastline to explore, the south is one of the most diverse parts of Ibiza, and as such is worth venturing slightly inland for. Sa Talaia is the highest peak on the island at 476m tall, while over in Cala d’Hort Nature Park are steep forests with beautiful flora to explore. In fact, it’s well worth staying here for a night or two if just for the wide variety of restaurants on offer – and if you feel like staying out after dark, take your pick from the likes of Ushuaia, Hi or DC10 for that party spirit.
