Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1 Arrival & San Antonio Sunset Strip
Morning Dalt Vila — UNESCO Fortified Old Town
Begin your Ibiza adventure by exploring Dalt Vila, the island's spectacular UNESCO-listed fortified old town perched above the harbor. Walk through the Portal de ses Taules, the main Renaissance gateway, and climb the winding cobblestone streets past whitewashed houses, art galleries, and hidden plazas. At the top, the Cathedral of Santa Maria offers breathtaking 360° views over the harbor, the sea, and on clear days, Formentera. This ancient citadel — built by the Phoenicians, fortified by the Moors, and perfected by the Spanish — is a powerful reminder that Ibiza has thousands of years of history beneath its party reputation.
Afternoon Cala Conta — Ibiza's Most Beautiful Sunset Beach
Head to Cala Conta (Platges de Comte), widely considered the most beautiful beach on the island. The crystal-clear turquoise water, rocky islets dotting the horizon, and the white sand create a postcard-perfect setting. Swim in the impossibly blue water, sunbathe on the rocks, and grab drinks at Sunset Ashram, a bohemian beach bar perched on the cliffs with DJ sets and Mediterranean cuisine. As afternoon turns to evening, you'll understand why this spot draws crowds every sunset — the sky explodes in shades of orange, pink, and purple behind the silhouettes of the offshore islands.
Evening Café del Mar Sunset & Es Paradis Club
Make your way to San Antonio's legendary Sunset Strip for the evening ritual that defined Ibiza's chill-out culture. Café del Mar, open since 1980, is where the Balearic sunset soundtrack was born — DJs spin downtempo, ambient, and Balearic beats as the sun melts into the Mediterranean. The terraces of Café del Mar and neighboring Café Mambo fill up with hundreds of people applauding the sunset — a uniquely Ibicenco tradition. After the sun drops, head to Es Paradis, San Antonio's most spectacular club. The Romanesque architecture with its retractable pyramid roof and marble columns creates a surreal backdrop for house and dance music. On certain nights, the legendary water party floods the dance floor ankle-deep.
Day 2 Beach Clubs & Ushuaïa
Morning Playa d'en Bossa — Morning Beach Relaxation
Ease into the day at Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza's longest beach and the epicenter of the island's party scene. This 3 km stretch of golden sand runs from the Ses Salines salt flats to the hotel strip where Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza are located. Grab a sunbed, swim in the warm shallow waters, and enjoy the relaxed morning vibe before the beach clubs crank up their sound systems. The southern end near Ses Salines is quieter and more natural, while the northern end buzzes with energy. This is where Ibiza's daytime and nighttime worlds collide.
Afternoon Nassau Beach Club — Ibiza's Chic Beach Club Scene
Experience the quintessential Ibiza beach club at Nassau Beach Club on Playa d'en Bossa. Lounge on white daybeds under Balinese parasols while DJs spin deep house and nu-disco. Order Mediterranean sharing plates — fresh ceviche, grilled octopus, Iberian ham — paired with rosé or frozen cocktails. The atmosphere is effortlessly glamorous: beautiful people, crystal-clear water steps away, and a soundtrack that builds from chill afternoon vibes to upbeat pre-party energy. This is the Ibiza daytime experience at its finest — the perfect balance between relaxation and revelry.
Evening Ushuaïa Open-Air & Hï Ibiza
Tonight is the crown jewel of Ibiza nightlife. Start at Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, the world's most famous open-air club. The pool-party-meets-festival concept features a massive stage, world-class production (think Tomorrowland-level pyrotechnics and visuals), and the biggest DJ names in electronic music — from David Guetta to Calvin Harris, Fisher, and Camelphat. Dance under the stars in your beach wear while confetti rains down. When Ushuaïa closes around midnight, cross the road to Hï Ibiza (formerly Space), a state-of-the-art indoor superclub with two rooms, mind-bending light shows, and a Funktion-One sound system that shakes your bones. Together, this duo represents the pinnacle of global clubbing.
Day 3 Hidden Coves & Amnesia
Morning Cala d'Hort Beach & Es Vedrà Views
Escape the party zone for a morning at Cala d'Hort, a stunning beach facing the mystical rock of Es Vedrà. This 400-meter-high limestone island rising from the sea is shrouded in legends — some say it's the tip of the lost city of Atlantis, others claim it has magnetic properties that disrupt compasses. Whatever you believe, the view is hypnotic. Swim in the crystal-clear water, explore the rocky coves on either side, and simply contemplate this extraordinary natural monument. The contrast between last night's superclub spectacle and this morning's raw natural beauty perfectly captures Ibiza's dual personality.
Afternoon Seafood Chiringuito Lunch & Recovery Siesta
Take a long, lazy lunch at one of Ibiza's traditional chiringuitos — simple beachside restaurants serving the freshest seafood on the island. Head to Es Boldado, a cliff-top restaurant above Cala d'Hort with jaw-dropping Es Vedrà views and grilled fish so fresh it was swimming hours ago. Try the bullit de peix (traditional Ibicenco fish stew), grilled prawns, or a whole grilled sea bream with patatas bravas. Then head back to your accommodation for a well-deserved siesta. In Ibiza, the afternoon nap isn't laziness — it's strategic preparation for the marathon night ahead at Amnesia.
Evening Amnesia — The Temple of Techno
Tonight you enter one of the world's most legendary nightclubs. Amnesia, operating since 1976, is where Ibiza's club culture truly began. The club has two distinct rooms: the Main Room, a massive domed space with an overwhelming light and laser show, and the Terrace, an iconic partially open-air room with a retractable roof that fills with morning sunlight as the party continues into dawn. Amnesia is famous for hosting residencies by Cocoon (Sven Väth's techno empire), Pyramid, and Together. The music policy leans toward deep techno, trance, and progressive house. When the foam party launches — yes, they still do foam parties — the energy is absolutely electric. Dancing at Amnesia as the first rays of sunlight pour through the Terrace roof is a bucket-list clubbing experience.
Day 4 Ibicenco Culture & Pacha
Morning Las Dalias Hippie Market
Discover the bohemian soul of Ibiza at Las Dalias, the island's most famous hippie market in the village of Sant Carles de Peralta. Since the 1980s, this colorful open-air market has been a gathering place for artists, designers, and free spirits from around the world. Browse handmade leather goods, silver jewelry, tie-dye clothing, essential oils, vintage records, and unique artisan crafts. Live music fills the air, incense wafts through the stalls, and the atmosphere transports you to the flower-power era that put Ibiza on the map before the DJs arrived. The Saturday market is the main event, but the smaller Night Market (summer Mondays and Tuesdays) is equally magical.
Afternoon Stroll Through Santa Eulària del Riu
Head to Santa Eulària del Riu, Ibiza's third-largest town and a refreshing contrast to the party zones. This charming seaside town has a beautiful marina, a palm-lined promenade, and the island's only river (the Riu de Santa Eulària). Walk along the paseo marítimo, browse the boutiques, and stop for a café con leche at one of the terrace cafés overlooking the harbor. Climb up to the hilltop church of Puig de Missa, a 16th-century fortified church with panoramic views over the town and coastline. Santa Eulària represents the quieter, family-friendly side of Ibiza — a welcome breather before tonight's adventure at Pacha.
Evening Pacha Ibiza — The Icon Since 1973
Tonight belongs to Pacha, the beating heart of Ibiza's club scene and the island's oldest and most iconic venue. Founded in 1973 by Ricardo Urgell, Pacha has become a global brand, but the original Ibiza club remains in a league of its own. Located steps from Ibiza Town's harbor, the club features multiple rooms across several floors — from the main room with its signature cherry logo and dazzling production to the intimate Funky Room playing hip-hop and R&B, and the rooftop terrace with harbor views. Pacha's programming spans from house legends to pop crossovers. The crowd is more glamorous than the techno clubs — think designer outfits and champagne bottles — but the dance floor energy is undeniable. This is where Ibiza's story began, and it still writes new chapters every night.
Day 5 DC-10 Underground & Island Farewell
Morning Brunch & Shopping at Ibiza Harbor
Spend a relaxed final morning at Ibiza Town's harbor, where the marina is lined with cafés, boutiques, and the iconic view of Dalt Vila rising above. Have brunch at Croissant Show, a local institution on the Vara de Rey promenade, or at La Brasa for a more upscale experience with garden terrace seating. Then browse the boutiques along the port — from Adlib Ibiza fashion (the island's signature white bohemian style) to record shops selling vinyl from legendary Ibiza DJ sets. Pick up some hierbas ibicencas (local herb liqueur) as a souvenir. The harbor in the morning light, with fishing boats and megayachts side by side, captures Ibiza's eclectic charm.
Afternoon DC-10 — The Legendary Daytime Club
End your Ibiza clubbing odyssey at DC-10, the island's most mythical and underground venue. Located in a converted aircraft hangar at the end of the airport runway — planes literally fly overhead as you dance — DC-10 is where the purists come to worship. The club is home to Circoloco, a Monday daytime party that has been running since 1999 and is considered by many to be the best club night on the island. The vibe is raw and unpretentious: concrete floors, minimal decor, maximum bass. The DJs — think Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, The Martinez Brothers — play deep, groovy, hypnotic sets to a crowd of dedicated music lovers. No VIP areas, no bottle service, no pretension — just pure, unadulterated electronic music. If Ushuaïa is the blockbuster, DC-10 is the arthouse masterpiece.
Evening Sunset from Dalt Vila Ramparts & Farewell Dinner
For your final Ibiza evening, return to where you started — Dalt Vila — but this time at golden hour. Climb to the ramparts of the old fortress and watch the sun set over San Antonio bay from the highest point of Ibiza Town. The view is magnificent: the harbor below, Formentera on the horizon, and the sky ablaze in Mediterranean colors. Then descend to the port for a farewell dinner at one of the harbor-front restaurants. Try S'Escalinata, a romantic restaurant set on the stone steps leading up to Dalt Vila, or El Zaguan for creative tapas in a candlelit courtyard. Toast to your Ibiza adventure with a final cocktail at one of the harbor bars, watching the super-yachts twinkle and the distant bass of tonight's clubs echoing across the water.
