There’s so much happening in Ibiza during the summer months, that a holiday rarely gives you enough time to see and do everything you want, in such a short space of time.
If you’re heading to the white isle for a mini-break and want to cram as much in as possible, then check out our list of MUST DO’s whilst you’re here on the island.
Pukka Up Boat Party
1. Book a boat party
There’s no greater feeling than listening to your favourite tunes whilst at sea, and what better way to do it than booking a boat party one afternoon? They’re fun, full of likeminded people and get you seriously energised for the night ahead. This 2022 the boats are back, better than ever before and ready to welcome you on board. San Antonio is THE PLACE to be for a range of events this year, and our favourite boat party is Pukka Up, which sells out each week. Ahoy there!
Sa Padrera (Atlantis)
2. Walk down to Sa Pedrera
Otherwise known as ‘Atlantis‘, this beautiful little spot located very close to Cala d’Hort is the perfect escape if you enjoy peace and tranquility. Previously an old sandstone quarry in the 16th century, Sa Padrera has since formed into natural rock pools, which are fantastic for having a dip whilst looking out onto the ocean, and over towards Es Vedra. The rocks also have carvings in them which date back hundreds of years, and some more recent ones too. The walk down is very steep and hot in the summer, so make sure you have plenty of water and sturdy shoes.
Ushuaïa Beach Club & Hotel
3. Head to a club
You can’t visit Ibiza without visiting at least one club. There’s so many to choose from, but if you’re planning on making the most of your days then Ushuaïa is a must! Located in Platja d’en Bossa (Playa d’en Bossa), this famous beach club has hosted some of the best parties on earth over the last 11 years, and has no desire to slow it down any time soon. Artists such as Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta and CamelPhat have all graced the mega stage here, and played to a venue with a capacity of 4000 people. You can find out who’s playing and when this year, plus get your tickets to Ushuaïa on our website!
Bora Bora Beach – Playa d’en Bossa
4. Have a beach day
There are more than 80 beaches here on the island, many of which have gorgeous sandy shores and crystal clear waters where you can relax, unwind and catch those glorious Balearic rays. Alternatively, you could head to a party beach such as Bora Bora (Playa d’en Bossa), to dance the day away to some of the best DJs on the white isle. Whether you want to visit a beach club or throw some beers in a cool box and grab your towel, there’s somewhere to suit everyone.

5. Hire a car or Moped
The best way to see the island is by hiring your own transport. Whilst you can get around via bus or taxi, the busses aren’t the best connected to a lot of quieter spots, and taxis can often be very expensive if travelling a long distance. Take yourself anywhere you please and explore, stop for lunch somewhere off the beaten track, head to a beach or simply take in the scenery, before heading back at whatever time you want, without feeling rushed.
Dalt Vila
6. Visit Dalt Vila
If you’re into your history, then visiting the Old Town of Ibiza is one for your weekend Ibiza bucket list. With old-cobbled winding streets, traditional shops, art galleries, lovely restaurants and a museum, Dalt Vila is a fantastic place to visit for an afternoon out. If you don’t mind walking then head right up to the top, where you will find the 13th-century cathedreal and panoramic views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Simply breathtaking.
Es Vedra from Es Savinar watchtower
7. Visit Es Vedra for sunset
Many think that Es Vedra is the third most magnetic place in the world, and others believe that it used to be the spot where sirens would lure sailors to their demise. Whether it’s all fact or fiction, there’s no denying that this mesmerising rock (located just 2.5km from Cala d’Hort beach and standing 413 meters tall), is a sight be behold. If you’re into your hiking (and aren’t afraid of heights) then you can always venture up to the Es Savinar watchtower to watch the sunset in awe, a truly unforgettable experience. Make sure you’re back to a safe spot before sundown however, as the cliffs are extremely dangerous and steep. Well worth a visit though!
So, there you have it, a weekend filled with fun, sun and, well…lots more fun!
