Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is the island's sole airport. It sits approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) southwest of Ibiza Town. Its close proximity results in a quick transfer to the town center. The airport handles a significant volume of international and domestic flights.
Mainly, direct flights to Ibiza appear available from European hubs. For intercontinental travelers, connections typically occur via major European cities like Madrid (MAD) or Barcelona (BCN). Flight frequency and prices surge dramatically during the high season (June-September).
Route 10 links the airport to Ibiza Town's main bus station, the Port, and San Jorge. This option holds the most economy (~€3.50, 20-30 min).
Taxis appear readily available outside the terminal. A ride to Ibiza Town costs ~€20-€25. This presents the most direct transfer.
Pre-booked private transfer services present direct, door-to-door transportation. Useful for groups or those desiring immediate travel.
Ibiza lacks land connections to the mainland. Land transportation mainly encompasses buses, taxis, and rental vehicles. No train services operate.
Renting a car or scooter presents a popular method for exploring. Roads generally maintain good condition. Drive on the right side.
Parking in Ibiza Town may prove very difficult and expensive. Look for blue (paid) or white (free, rare) zones, or underground garages.
Ibiza Town's historic harbor remains a busy hub for sea travel. Ibiza Port functions as an useful gateway, handling passenger and cargo ferries, alongside being a popular stop for cruise ships.
For international arrivals from outside the Schengen Area (e.g., cruise ship from non-Schengen port), standard Schengen Area entry procedures apply. For domestic arrivals, immigration procedures generally appear seamless.
Specific exit fees or taxes upon departure from Ibiza are not imposed beyond what typically appears included in your airfare or ferry ticket. The prices paid for travel usually encompass all required taxes.
If departing by ferry, especially with a vehicle, arrive at the port 60-90 minutes before scheduled departure. Pedestrian passengers may arrive slightly closer, yet arriving early holds wisdom.
Many tour operators present coach trips departing from Ibiza Town, transporting visitors to various island attractions, beaches, and villages.
Small boats operate from the port, delivering a quick way to reach closer beaches or specific points along the coast during summer.
Frequent ferry services link Ibiza Town port to Formentera and nearby beaches like Playa d'en Bossa and Figueretes, presenting a scenic way to travel.
Dedicated accessibility services for transport appear somewhat limited, but show improvement. Newer public buses generally carry equipment with ramps for wheelchair access.
