Ibiza 3 days
Ibiza offers a vibrant blend of world-class nightlife, serene beaches, and bohemian charm. Beyond the famed clubs, discover hidden coves, explore ancient Dalt Vila, and soak in the island's artistic soul. The island truly comes alive in the summer months, with the peak season from June through August offering the most energetic atmosphere and the widest array of events. For a 3-day trip, consider basing yourself in Ibiza Town for easy access to Dalt Vila's historic charm and a lively restaurant scene, or San Antonio for its legendary sunsets and buzzing nightlife. For a more tranquil escape, the beaches of Cala Llonga offer a relaxed vibe with family-friendly options. A money-saving tip: many beach clubs offer day passes that include loungers and sometimes a food/drink credit, providing good value compared to individual purchases. Many smaller, independent restaurants outside the main tourist hubs offer delicious, authentic Balearic cuisine at more affordable prices, especially in villages like Santa Gertrudis.
