In our opinion it is one of the best months to visit the island.

Prices are still lower and there is less hectic energy than the peak summer months.

Also May in Ibiza features an annual Medival Festival in Dalt Vila during the 2nd weekend of the month which we recommend highly.

Where to stay in Ibiza? Best time to go to Ibiza?

After discovering when is the best time to go to Ibiza.

Surely this is one of the main questions you are asking yourself.

The most popular areas to stay on Ibiza are the city centre of Ibiza town, which is full of historical sites to visit.

Playa D’en Bossa Beach, where you can discover the best clubs of the island and enjoy many water sports.

Or San Antoni de Portmany, with cheaper accommodations and what is known as the West End (little Britan of the island).

Ibiza Town

The area of Ibiza Town is perfect if you are thinking of visiting the island, and its most beautiful coves and beaches during the day.

Talking about transport, you can use public buses, but it is better to rent a vehicle, car, or scooter, to be more independent and move easily.

The best area of Ibiza town, a place to stay away from the wild nightlife, but in an area full of bars and restaurants, is the centre of Ibiza, especially near the old town of Dalt Vila.

On an island renowned above all for its nightlife, such a fascinating historical centre is a great surprise, do not miss a walk through the alleys of the old city.

Playa d´en Bossa Beach

For those looking for the real Ibiza, with nightlife and discos, the right place to stay is Playa D’en Bossa Beach.

Located about 5 km from Ibiza, the best time to stay here is during the peak summer months.

Here, the sea is not as beautiful as some of the best beaches in Ibiza.

Since it is 2.7km long there are always parties at Dén Bossa because of all of the beach club venues spread out along the beach.

Here you can dance late into the night as the area is a succession of clubs, bars, and pubs.

Two of the superclub discos are located here, such as and Ushuaia.

To reach the other clubs such as Privilege and Amnesia, there are free buses leaving every half hour.

As you already know, you have the option to enjoy an unforgettable party with Float Your Boat.

Sant Antoni de Portmany

San Antoni de Portmany is another area full of nightclubs and entertainment.

Where you can find Café Mambo and Cafe del Mar.

In these places you will enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets around the island.

We must mention that these places are typical for young people.

Because of this the Sunset strip of San An may be too much for families or adults who are looking to relax.

Here there is constant loud noise and party vibes.

However, one of the main advantages of San Antonio are the prices, which are significantly lower than in D’en Bossa Beach.

We can also highlight the proximity to the most beautiful beaches, such as Cala Bassa, Cala Tarida, Cala Comte or Cala Salada, easily reached by bus, ferry or by one of our beach hopping cruises.
