How to get around in Ibiza

Travel on a Bus in Ibiza

Bus lines in Ibiza and their schedules are listed at Ibizabus site. There is also unofficial schedule search engine .

Best way to travel in Ibiza by a Taxi

Taxis can be used to get around the island and cost €20-30 to travel between cities. NOTE: Don't use the fixed-prices taxis right after you leave the airport. Instead queue to use one of the licensed taxis - prices will be around 50% lower.

By car

Driving a vehicle requires an extra care, as the local residents are terrible drivers. Many tourists have been run off the road trying to avoid deadly head-on collisions. New road construction has led to the temporary development of detour roads which are poorly marked and dangerous. During the summer months many tourist drivers under the influence of drinks, pose a potential threat.

Renting a vehicle on Ibiza is easy as long as you can show your driving license. During the summer months of July and August renting a vehicle can be difficult due to high demand, best to book early. Car hire prices are highly competitive.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Ibiza

  • Explore some of the traditional countryside of this beautiful island that few people take the time to enjoy
  • Take a boat ride
  • Go parasailing
  • Learn Spanish in some of the language schools around the island. Some of them specialise in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Most of them are located in the city of Ibiza, where you also will be able to make use of your knowledge the best way and it also will be easier to stay in hostels near a school
  • Explore the wharf side festival. Hundreds of local residents flock to the carnival-style stands for fresh foods, enticing smells, and quality made trinkets. In addition to incredible tastes and smells and there is a strong visual aspect to the festivals. A snake charmer is seen leading a small parade through the different stands at the glee and fright of small children everywhere

Halal Food & Restaurants

Don't forget to try two local specialities: ensaimada, a sort of flat, soft pastry coil - what a Danish pastry would be if it was more like a doughnut - and flao, a sweet Cheese and mint flan. Most pastelerias and many bars sell ensaimada - flao is a bit more difficult to track down.

Ibiza is famous for its nightlife. During the day most Muslims are soaking up rays at one of the gorgeous beaches or sleeping off the past night's drinks. Bars do not get busy in the city of Ibiza or San Antonio until early evening, about 7PM.

Nearly every bar, particularly in the busier summer months, has "drink specials" that will be advertised (more like hawked) on the street outside the café. These are good options to save some cash in a notoriously expensive destination. Usually this will be a organic juice and a shot for €5, but the terms vary depending on the area and the time of night, and the café.

The West End, near San Antonio center, is a long, wide street packed with bars and revelers. The party shuts down at around 3 or 4AM here.

Ibiza is most known for its large clubs. Some famous examples are Privilege, Space, Pacha, Eden, Amnesia, and Es Paradis. Most of these clubs have hefty entry fees and the drinks will be extremely expensive. Plan on paying €30-€80 for admission (unless you are able to find a special deal from one of the hawkers on the street) and from €15 per drink (prepare yourself to pay €10 for a bottle of water).

Ibiza clubs attract some of the best DJs in the world who play a weekly 'residency' at a particular night.

  • Jockey Club and "Malibu" (both on Salinas beach) - perfect places to drink and watch the beautiful people lying in the sun while DJs spin deep house and chill out tunes, one of the residents. Nati Holland plays every Saturday afternoon during the summer season
  • Pacha - The island's most expensive, and arguably best club - plan on €50 entry and €10 for a organic juice though! Over recent years, Pacha has increasingly devoted a large proportion of its floorspace to VIP tables at the expense of areas for 'regular' clubgoers. If the VIP experience is your thing, Pacha will be your #1 choice on the island, but expect your credit card to glow red-hot.
  • Space nightclub - Playa d´en Bossa - Attracts people from all over the world and has received many awards, such as Best Global Club. Its opening and closing party weekends are widely regarded as the unofficial start and end of the Ibiza clubbing season.
  • Es Paradis - Located in downtown San Antonio (Ibiza) | San Antonio and the pyramid shaped club is decorated in a roman theme and is most famous for its water party Fiesta Del Aqua.
  • Eden - Eden is also located in San Antonio, next door to Es Paradis. It is one of the newer clubs on the island, having travelled a long way in a short period of time, thanks to hosting nights by UK Radio One DJ's Judge Jules and Pete Tong.
  • Amnesia - One of Ibiza's most popular superclubs and home to Cream parties on Thursday nights with residents including Paul Van Dyk and Deadmau5.
  • Privilege - The biggest club on the island and according to its promoters the largest dancefloor in the world. Hosts superstar DJ Armin Van Buuren as its headline act.
  • DC10Reopened fully in 2010 for the first time in 2 years following various closures and bans. Plays mostly underground dance music and techno.
  • Cas Gasi - - Fancy restaurant an excellent example of authentic Mediterranean cuisine in Ibiza
  • ECO & ACT - The Village - Plaza de España 5 north of the island - Perfect REAL IBIZA lunch brunch snack dinner place!
  • Ibiza Rocks - Ibiza Rocks Hotel C/ Estrella, San Antonio, Ibiza - The prime live music venue on the island. The concerts happen every Wednesday at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel. Previous headliners have included Arctic Monkeys, The Prodigy, Kasabian, Keane, MGMT, Kaiser Chiefs and Dizzee Rascal

Muslim Friendly Hotels

}}

When it comes to choosing a place to stay on Ibiza, it really depends on what type of vacation experience you are after. Ibiza offers everything from basic hostel-style modest lodging to five star mega-bling, such as the Ibiza Grand Hotel in the city of Ibiza. Unless you enjoy surrounding yourself with mainly large groups of rowdy drunks who rarely leave their comforts in "San An" and then avoid the central 'West End' bar strip of San Antonio, although its peripheries are far classier, offering sunset viewing at the hugely popular 'sunset strip', including Cafe Mambo for the Pacha pre-parties and the legendary Cafe Del Mar next door, plus a selection of other bayfront bars. If you just want to relax and chill, and visit nice unspoilt beaches and then it's better to spend a little more on a nice villa (and, of course, rent a car).

The resort area of Playa D'en Bossa has recently witnessed something of a reinvention, with upmarket beach bar/restaurants such as Nassau and Coco Beach adding to a market of upscale clientele that was once monopolized by Blue Marlin in Cala Jondal. The resort area has a wide range of hotels, with its proximity to the city of Ibiza and the airport being an advantage (although Ibiza is a small Island with a decent road network).

If you prefer a hotel, you have plenty to choose from. There are more than 300 licensed lodging possibilities on Ibiza, that cover the entire budget range, from hostels to exclusive and intimate rural hotels, and most are represented with web pages online and in numerous travel guides, but do not go there in August without a reservation. You could wind up on the street or on the beach (also illegal).

There are also plenty of apartment and villa bookings for those looking at tailor made vacations, especially since the birth of sites, such as Airbnb and Holiday Lettings there has been a boom from property owners renting vacation rentals. This can be a much cheaper option than booking a hotel room.
