Going Solo in Ibiza 2022
Sometimes booking a holiday with others can be hard work. All the back and forth can make everything feel exhausting, and that’s before you’ve even left for the airport.
Whether you’re an outgoing-bubbly character or an introvert, Ibiza can actually be enjoyed as a solo traveller, whatever your plans are.
In this blog we’ve added some great tips, for those who want to visit for a solo holiday.
It can be done, and you can have the experience of a lifetime, if you do it right.
Here’s how…
Join up with other travellers to book vip tables & beds
There’s plenty of Facebook groups and online forums dedicated to solo travel. Many of these are full of questions about booking beds and VIP tables at the beach, and night clubs. These groups are great for organising to meet up with others here, where you can all chip-in together to book something special, and have some serious fun.
Pamper yourself
The island is full of places and people who provide a range of therapies, from pedicures to facials. Why not book yourself in for a nice relaxing treatment, enjoy some quality ‘me time’ and feel brand new? We recommend the lovely Emma of Balearic Beauty, to alleviate all your pre-travel stress.
Yoga, Fitness and Spa
Just as above, Ibiza is home to numerous spots to unwind, sweat it out and rejuvenate. From five star hotels offering luxurious spa days, to remote yoga locations where you can practice your vinyasa in peace. One of our favourite Yoga classes here is run by Jen of Jennuine Fitness. Offering 1-2-1 or group bookings, all over the island.
Explore
With views that go on for miles, and sunsets that are simply magical, there’s no doubt that Ibiza is one of the best places on earth to explore. From camping in the hills, to hiking up to the watchtower overlooking Es Vedra. You’ll never be stuck for somewhere new to see here. Just make sure your phone is fully charged if you’re alone, in case you get lost! If you want to get out and meet new people, why not contact Walking Ibiza? Suitable for group hikes for all fitness levels, they also offer a range of other activities including kayaking tours too.

Book a boat day
With the crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches, it would be a shame not to make the most of it simply because you’re here by yourself. There are plenty of companies who offer experiences suitable for everyone, including single travellers. One of our favourites is Ibiza Water Activities. Fun-packed, and a fantastic opportunity to meet others.
Shopping
Retail therapy is good for the soul, and if you love to shop then Ibiza is a great place for it. Whether you’re into local, artisan boutiques, or a fan of the high-street haunts such as Zara. You’re sure to find the perfect outfit to hit the town with whilst you’re here. If you’re after something a little more unique and sparkly then head over to Dalt Vila, where you’ll find the pre-loved, and very glam boutique named Bohoho Ibiza. Think Narnia for fashion, it’s brilliant!
Lunch and coffee
Why not take yourself on a lunch date and enjoy the atmosphere? There’s an abundance of restaurants and bars here, but one popular location (with views over to the old town of Ibiza), is none other than Cappuccino Grand Cafe in Marina Botafoch. Serving wonderfully fresh food and of course, the best coffees around.

Hire a car
Another one for the explorers reading this. Whilst public transport is available on the island, it’s not the best in terms of links to places further afield. Taxis can often be expensive too. If you want to get out and see this island in its full glory, then why not hire a car for the day? Get out and about, and go on your own adventure. It’ll be worth it, we can promise you that. One tip though, make sure you don’t leave any valuables in the car when you’re leaving it unattended.
Watch the sunset
Whether it’s from the Sunset Strip in San Antonio or from ‘hippie haven’ Benirràs, watching the sunset here never gets old. It’s a truly wonderful experience, and one which is often appreciated more by yourself. It can be used as a time to reflect and take in the beauty right in front of you. The sunset is world-famous here, so why not be a part of the magic too?

So there you have it, just a few great suggestions to suit those wanting to spend time by themselves, or to meet fellow Ibiza lovers.
Enjoy!
