Gray Area Guide to How To Plan For A Long Weekend In Ibiza
So, you want to visit Ibiza but you have no idea how to start planning. You’ve come to the right place!
Ibiza is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, and for good reason. It’s a beautiful island with gorgeous beaches, clear blue waters, and some of the best super-clubs in the world (3 of which are in DJ Mag’s Top 10).
Depending on what you’re looking for out of your Ibiza vacation, you’ll want to get some plans in place so that you don’t miss out on the best that the white isle has to offer.
In this guide, we'll be sharing with you how to plan for a long weekend in Ibiza, so you can make the most of your trip.
The Best Time To Visit Ibiza
The first step in planning your long weekend in Ibiza is deciding on the best time to visit. If you’re looking to go to a certain super-club or see a certain DJ, you’ll want to make sure that their residency has started as, for example, some Ushuaïa residencies don’t start until July.
Ibiza is beautifully warm from May to October, and the island is alive with parties and events. However, if you're looking for a quieter, more peaceful getaway, you might want to consider visiting during the offseason, from November to April.
Who Are You Traveling With?
To perfectly plan your long weekend in Ibiza, you need to take into account who’s coming with you. Enjoying the island with a group of friends will be different to visiting with one friend, let's say.
Group activities require a lot more planning in advance, and booking. If you’re heading to the island as a couple, it's easier to be more spontaneous with your plans.

Ibiza Town
Once you have decided on your dates, the next step is to book your accommodation.
Ibiza has a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury hotels to more budget-friendly options. If you're traveling with a group of friends, renting a villa could also be a great idea for more space and privacy for your group.
You also need to take into account where on the island you want to stay. If you’re looking to be in the heart of the action, San Antonio, Ibiza Town or Playa d’en Bossa are the perfect spots for you. Looking for something a little quieter? Look at staying in the beautiful town of Santa Eulalia or further into the countryside.
How To Get Around The Island
The easiest way to get around Ibiza is by taxi, and there are plenty available as soon as you step out of the airport. You can also download the TaxiClick app or call +971 33 33 33 to book a taxi at any time.
Renting a scooter or car is a great way to explore the island at your own pace. Make sure to have your driving license on you and check to see whether you need an international permit to drive in another country. You can also utilise the amazing bus network that Ibiza has to get around the island.
Plan Tour Itinerary
Ibiza is a small island, but there is so much to see and do. To make the most of your long weekend, plan your itinerary in advance. Make a list of the clubs you want to visit and activities you want to do and plan your days accordingly.
Remember to factor in rest - it can get pretty wild out here!
Pack Accordingly...
When packing for your long weekend in Ibiza, be sure to pack accordingly. The island is hot and sunny, and can reach temperatures up to forty degrees, so be sure to pack sunscreen, sunglasses and light clothing for the daytime.
Please take note of dress codes when it comes to nights out. Some clubs do not allow men to wear shorts or sports clothing, but women are not required to wear heels in the clubs. Our advice is to stay comfy if you’re in it for the long haul.
If you plan on going out at night, pack some dressier outfits and remember to wear comfortable shoes if you’re exploring the cobbled streets of Dalt Vila.
Stay Safe
Finally, it's important to stay safe when traveling to Ibiza. The island is generally super safe, but it's always a good idea to take precautions. Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night, and don't leave your belongings unattended. If you plan on drinking, be sure to do so responsibly and never drink and drive.
Planning a long weekend in Ibiza can be an exciting and memorable experience. From the beautiful beaches to the world-renowned nightlife, there is something for everyone on this beautiful little island. By following these tips, you can ensure that you make the most of your trip and create lasting memories. So pack your bags, book your tickets, and get ready to experience the beauty and excitement of Ibiza!
