Ibiza in Full Bloom: Summer Activities for Every Style of Traveller

Summer in Ibiza is when the island reveals its most vibrant character. Long days by the sea, warm evenings in the countryside, open-air dining, historic villages, local markets and effortless Mediterranean living all come together in a season made for experience.

Whether you are visiting as a family, as a couple, with friends or in search of a more private escape, Ibiza offers many ways to enjoy summer. Every kind of stay can feel different, from moments of calm and connection to days filled with discovery, celebration and memorable island living.


What Are the Best Summer Activities in Ibiza?

The best way to enjoy Ibiza in summer depends on the pace and atmosphere you want for your stay. Some travellers are drawn to the coastline and long lunches by the water, while others prefer wellness, nature, culture or quality time with family.

What makes the island special is how naturally these experiences can flow together. With thoughtful planning, each day can feel relaxed, meaningful and beautifully balanced.


For Sea Lovers: Beaches, Boat Days and Coastal Living

Ibiza’s coastline is one of the island’s greatest pleasures, with clear waters, sheltered coves and beaches made for slow summer days.

For a sea-led itinerary, consider:

  • starting early at a less crowded beach or cove
  • arranging a private boat charter to explore Ibiza and Formentera
  • adding time for swimming, snorkelling or paddleboarding in calmer waters
  • booking a seaside restaurant or beach club in advance
  • organising transfers, a skipper or a driver so the day flows without stress

For Wellness Seekers: Yoga, Spa Rituals and Slow Living

Ibiza has become a natural setting for wellbeing, with its peaceful countryside, sea air and slower rhythm creating the right atmosphere for rest and reconnection.

For a wellness-focused stay, consider:

  • starting the day with private yoga, Pilates or meditation
  • arranging massage treatments, spa rituals or holistic therapies at your villa
  • booking a personal trainer or guided outdoor session
  • enjoying healthy private dining with fresh, seasonal ingredients
  • spending quiet time in nature, from countryside walks to evenings under the stars

For Families: Beach Days, Outdoor Fun and Villa Comforts

Ibiza can be a wonderful summer destination for families, especially when each day is planned with space, flexibility and activities that everyone can enjoy.

For a family-friendly stay, consider:

  • choosing beaches with calm waters and easy access
  • booking restaurants in advance, especially in high season
  • arranging transport for beach days, dinners or airport transfers
  • planning boat trips or outdoor activities at the right time of day
  • organising grocery delivery, beach picnics or child-friendly villa dining
  • adding babysitting support, private chefs or villa-based entertainment when needed

For Food and Culture Lovers: Markets, Heritage and Island Dining

Beyond the beaches, Ibiza brings together history, local flavour and Mediterranean dining.

For a culture and food-led stay, consider:

  • exploring Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s UNESCO-listed old town
  • visiting traditional villages such as Santa Gertrudis, San Carlos, San Lorenzo or San Juan
  • discovering local markets, artisan shops and island produce
  • booking seaside lunches or refined Mediterranean restaurants
  • arranging a private chef experience at your villa

For Nature Lovers: Countryside, Hiking and Quiet Corners

Ibiza’s natural beauty extends far beyond the coast. Pine forests, rural roads, agricultural landscapes and quiet inland areas offer a slower way to experience the island.

For a nature-led stay, consider:

  • taking early morning walks or gentle hiking routes
  • exploring countryside roads and traditional inland areas
  • cycling through quieter parts of the island
  • visiting beaches or viewpoints outside peak hours
  • staying in a countryside villa or finca with land, privacy and open views

For the Social Side: Beach Clubs, Music and Sunset Plans

Ibiza’s social side is part of its international appeal, from elegant beach clubs and sunset venues to open-air dining, music and late-evening plans.

To make the most of the social scene, consider:

  • booking beach clubs and restaurants in advance
  • planning sunset drinks or dinner with sea views
  • arranging tickets or VIP tables for selected music events
  • organising private drivers or transfers for evenings out
  • combining lively plans with quieter villa time during the day

    What’s on in Ibiza this Summer 2022

    All of a sudden, everything got a lot more exciting! Travel vaccination passports and health tests are no longer required for entry into Spain, you do not have to wear a mask in most circumstances, dancing is finally allowed, and everyone’s smiling. Ibiza is back to being as vibrant as ever, and it feels awesome.

    Last month’s International Music Summit (IMS), which provides panels for the electronic music industry gave the feeling that this year is destined to be bigger and better all around. You can literally sense it in the air, everyone is ready for Ibiza 2022, and the tourism industry is already in full bloom.

    Summer 2022, Ibiza is the perfect place to be if you’re looking for a vacation with a great atmosphere and pure freedom. Besides the nightclubs opening for the first time in two years, the island also offers a variety of cultural activities, natural landscapes, and of course, some wonderful places to eat, so let’s see what Ibiza has to offer in 2022.


    Ibiza summer 2022: IMS Ibiza 2022

    Ibiza nightclubs are open – get your party event calendar

    Ibiza’s nightclub scene has already begun its opening season two weeks earlier than usual, with venues such as Ushuaia, Pacha, and being the first to kick-off following the IMS 2022 finale. Ibiza is set to have its longest clubbing season to date, which could extend as far as November. And, of course, this year’s line-ups are looking to be of an excellent standard too!

    If you want to keep on top of your Ibiza party schedule, you can take a look at the Ibiza Spotlight event calendar, which has day-by-day updates on all clubs and DJs, with ticket and VIP table information. Updates are made constantly throughout the season so be sure to keep checking in.

    If you like a little party but attending large-scale clubs is too intense, then check out the latest nightclub from Las Dalias, Akasha.  Open from Friday through until Sunday until 5 am, the club hosts a more relaxed atmosphere where its concept intends to generate a community spirit among the people who visit.

    The classic things to do in Ibiza – things that you won’t want to miss

    There is no shortage of cultural classics to experience in Ibiza and those that never go out of fashion either. The famous Las Dalias Hippy Market is always a popular island tourist attraction and home to more than 200 stalls, selling handmade clothes, jewelry, and home decor that can be enjoyed casually roaming around over drinks and freshly baked pizza or street food – all while listening to live music and local DJ’s in their tranquil psychedelic setting. Additionally, the San Juan Hippy Market is a great experience that is known to attract a more authentic crowd with locals and tourists alike flocking out into the streets to enjoy a relaxing Sunday morning.

    Perhaps you prefer to stay away from the crowds and be out on the open waters enjoying mother nature at her finest. Well, in every case a day out at sea will never disappoint. There are a number of experienced boat charter companies based in Ibiza, from where you can create your own day trips, using a qualified and knowledgeable skipper, and set sail to explore all the hidden beaches, coves, and unique spots the island has to offer. There is no doubt in our minds that it is worth considering planning a trip to Tagomago and Formentera, two of our favourite neighbouring islands. We recommend checking out our collaborator Say Yachting, a low-emission boat and yacht charter company on the island that supports our ethos for sustainability. 

    Say Yachting Ibiza

    The top recommended dining experiences in Ibiza

    The majority of vacationers in Ibiza enjoy luxurious and relaxing Mediterranean evenings with great food and a few nights out to let their hair down. With elegant sea and sunset views, open-air rooftop terraces, and some excellent concept cuisine, there is no shortage of incredibly stylish restaurants to choose from.

    Besides the usual favourites like Amante, Bambuddha, and Cotton Beach Club, Ibiza has seen an influx of some great new restaurants and bars opening in a variety of locations around the island.

    Under Michelin Star (12) Chef, Martin Berasategui the BLESS Hotel takes guests on a gastronomic journey at the new Etxeko Ibiza. The ultimate dining experience that celebrates the joys of dining, the ancient flavours of San Sebastián, and the most sublime products of the Cantabrian Sea and the Mediterranean. 

    LayLah Ibiza is a restaurant and lounge bar, combining food, music, heart and soul, where globally inspired flavours are showcased through a menu of sharing plates featuring dishes such as roasted cauliflower with tahini & green chilli, fresh grilled artichokes with Parmesan, spiced chicken crispy cigars, and white fish skewer with ginger & lime salsa.

    Last but not least, we recommend Boodiou Ibiza, a cocktail bar and French restaurant in the heart of Ibiza Town, serving fine dining and enriched sharing plates of French cuisine.  Artfully decorated with contemporary pieces and decorations, this small boutique restaurant will not disappoint.

        The Ibiza Travel Forecast 2022

        For the first time in almost two years, 2022 is appearing to be the very best year to date for travel. Naturally, travel and tourism still involve advance planning and remaining patient and flexible, but as countries are easing restrictions, and vaccination passports, passenger locator forms, and health testing are becoming the new normal, the vast majority of travellers are finally feeling confident to plan and take their next vacation as normal. 

        Gratefully, there was a lot of unexpected optimism in the tourism industry here in Ibiza over the past two seasons, particularly in the luxury travel sector. Although we all hoped that the optimism would continue, recent "good news" from the media and the nightclub industry have given us every reason to expect the summer of 2022 to be an even better year for Ibiza, attracting tourists from across the globe and bringing things back to how they once were.

        

        Ibiza Night Clubs are Due to Open for their First Full Season this 2022

        In addition to the nightclubs announcing their opening this year, they have also planned to open two weeks earlier than usual, from the end of April, through until October, or possibly November if all goes well.

        As part of the island’s nightlife season, all major operators are working hard to get ready. With a possible 65% capacity, a valid COVID passport, differentiated zones to ease into things safely, and a few necessary restrictions, the clubs will hopefully be fully operational in early Spring. 

        So far, Amnesia has announced their opening party for 2022 and it has not taken long to revolutionise clubbers around the world, who are already placing their bets on the lineup of the opening. On May 21 Amnesia opens its doors and tickets are already on sale too.

        General COVID-19 Restrictions and Measurements in Ibiza

        Even though we can’t predict what the season ahead holds, Ibiza adapted well both during the summer of 2020 and 2021, maintaining a very positive attitude and safety throughout, where the majority of activities and many social events continued to operate as usual. It is evident from the past two seasons, even during much uncertainty, that tourism and events in 2022 will continue to increase and thrive on the island. 

        We have not only seen an increase in culinary experiences, including the opening of numerous new restaurants, especially in the Santa Eulalia area, but tourists have also taken a deeper interest in a multitude of outdoor activities such as sunset charters, private yachts, and the discovery of the island’s hidden gems! All of which has led to many tourism sectors having reported experiencing their best summer seasons, even when compared to prior to the pandemic. 

        Over the winter period 2021/22 we saw a brief tightening of restrictions, whereby proof of ‘COVID Vaccination Passports’ was required for entering restaurants and attending large-scale events. However, these restrictions eased after 2 weeks as the social Christmas season returned back to normal. Like many European countries, mandatory masks are still required in busy urbanised areas and when attending public places like supermarkets and indoor venues, something that will likely continue and is preferred for the safety of us all. 

        So right now, apart from the above-mentioned mask-wearing, there are NO Covid-related RESTRICTIONS in Ibiza.

        Travel to Ibiza Safely this Season 2022 – Entry Requirements to Enter Spain

        It is very important to stay up-to-date on both the requirements for entering Spain as well as the restrictions that may apply once you arrive in Spain.  

        In light of the fact that the Pandemic is constantly changing, here are a few links and information points to keep in mind.  You can take the majority of the stress out of your travel experience if you have a solid understanding of what to expect before you go and can effectively plan everything that you need. 

        

        Do I need a  Health Control or Passenger Locator Form to enter Ibiza?

        The safety of tourism is dependent on the health control measures taken. The Balearic Islands require that all visitors entering from other international countries, regardless of their nationality, age, or any other consideration, complete a health check or a passenger locator form. 

        It is important to note that the only travellers to whom this form does not apply to are international passengers in transit at a Spanish airport with a final destination in another country, provided that the transit lasts less than 24 hours and that the passengers do not leave the airport premises. It is imperative that each form is fully completed accurately on an individual basis in order to check-in and fly. Each form can only be associated with one trip at a time.Health Check Forms for all travel into Spain can be found here: https://spth.gob.es

        

        Do I need a Vaccination Certificate, Diagnostic Test or Recovery Certificate to enter Ibiza?

        All passengers arriving from another country must present one of the following documents in order to enter Spain:

        1. A certificate of Vaccination against COVID-19 

        Valid from 14 days after the complete vaccination schedule (x2) and for up to one year after the date of vaccination.

        1. A negative certification of an active infection diagnostic test

        Required 72h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands or a rapid antigen test, 48h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK).  A full Vaccination certificate is required.

        1. A certificate of recovery after having contracted the disease

        Corresponding to a test within a period not exceeding 180 days after the date of the first positive result of an active infection diagnostic test (NAAT) and no earlier than 11 days following the date of that positive result. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK).  A full Vaccination certificate is required.

        These certificates (vaccination, diagnostic test, recovery) must be the original, written in either Spanish, English, French, or German, and may be presented in paper or electronic format.

        For regular updates and more information see Safe Tourism Illes Balears Travel.

        

        Find a COVID Test Centre in Ibiza 

        Tourists and residents of the Balearic Islands can take the rapid antigen test upon arrival without an appointment at the Balearic Islands Health Service’s COVID EXPRÉS testing centres.

        Here you can find your Covid Express Testing Centres

          Holiday villas with the 5 best sunsets in Ibiza

          Why is Ibiza one of the most famous holiday destinations in Europe?

          Sunset, dusk, twilight… are some of the names we give to an event as ephemeral as the sunset.

          Sunsets mark very significant moments in our lives: ‘the afternoon when we fell in love; the long summer days with our family; the magic of a sunset to the sound of drums; that dinner of friends that began with a burning red sky’… moments in which we feel very lucky and grateful.

          But if there is one place in the world where you can enjoy this natural wonder, it is Ibiza, with almost 275km of coastline, 300 days of sunshine a year and a peaceful and happy rhythm of life.

          In this blog we want to share with you five of the most special places where you can enjoy an unforgettable sunset. Besides, we have thought about you because in each of them you will find a selection of our fabulous holiday villas.

          The Prestige Team has participated in the vote to draw up the ranking that we present to you below.

          Nº 5 San Antonio, Ibiza

          The Paseo de San Antonio is one of the most fun and unique places on the island. It offers the possibility of water activities such as jet-skiing, jet-boating, flyboarding or parasailing, during sunset. Yes, believe it, because here you can be 50 meters high and be the king of the world! This spot is also very famous for its music and good atmosphere, this is where Café del Mar was born, a real symbol in Ibiza.

          Less than 15 minutes away are two of our holiday villas, with swimming pool and fantastic views: Casa Sandra and Can Trillo.

          San Antonio Sunset

          Nº 4 Cala Benirrás, Ibiza

          If you are lucky enough to be in Ibiza on a Sunday, you cannot leave without visiting Cala de Benirrás, where the authentic essence of the 70’s comes alive for a few hours and fills the sunset with music and percussion. A hundred people play their drums bidding farewell to the sun, while a large crowd dances and gets carried away by the good vibes and the hippie spirit. Some of the most impressive vacation villas in our catalog are in this area: S’Ermita, Can Quince, Can Rio and Can Pep de sa Guaita.

          Benirras Ibiza sunset

          Nº 3 Sa Caleta, Ibiza

          What if you want to make the sunset even more special? All you need for this is a sailboat! Cruising the waters offshore caressed by the sea breeze and feeling so close to the sun that you can almost touch it, this experience is one of the most romantic we can recommend. There are different companies that offer a wide range of boats and rentals adapted to your needs. We can help you, if you dream of living a unique sunset. But in addition, we have a selection of villas for rent located a few meters from the sea, so you can simulate the sensation of sailing: Can Cristina and Can Oasi.

          Sailboat Ibiza sunset

          Nº 2 Cala Conta, Ibiza

          They say Cala Conta is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Here we give you the reasons: crystalline waters, fine, almost white sand and incredible views; they make it an earthly paradise. We highlight the gastronomy of the area, the Bullit de Peix and the paella are the star dishes. At the Sunset Ahsram beach bar, you can drink a cava sangria while you celebrate the sunset with music and good atmosphere.

          We recommend some of our holiday villas, located very close to this famous destination: Can Lib and Can Masia, ask us about them.

          Cala Conta Ibiza sunset

          Nº1 Es Vedrá, Ibiza

          And at number 1 is the islet of Es Vedrá, a magical enclave located in the southwest of Ibiza. Although you are not allowed to climb this mystical rock, which is almost 400 metres high (because it has been part of the Nature Reserve since 2002 due to its high ecological value), we recommend you climb the Es Savinar Tower, commonly known as the Pirate’s Tower, and enjoy the unbeatable views! Some of our most charming villas are just a few minutes away: Can Pelat.
