What is Ibiza like?

Ibiza is the perfect place for a complete vacation. Not only is it beautiful by day, famous for its incredible beaches, the beauty of its coves and the impressive color of its waters, but the atmosphere and the magic that its nightlife gives off captures the hearts of many travelers.

One of our main reasons for visiting the Balearic Islands was the search for the best beaches in the Mediterranean, with transparent water, almost no waves and warm water where we can enjoy snorkeling and some water activities. The boat holidays in Ibiza gave us all that and more.

This Mediterranean island is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, after Mallorca and Menorca, which allows us to enjoy pleasant walks along its long beaches, and find hidden paradisiacal corners that can only be reached by boat, such as its 40 small islets. located in the middle of the sea.

In this area of ​​the Mediterranean Sea, Spanish is spoken as the official language, as well as Balear (Balearic Catalan). A curious fact is that it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its marine and coastal ecosystem.

Sun, beach and lively nights make Ibiza a special place, one of the most fabulous and fascinating island of the Balearic Islands. If you are looking for nature, rest and relax in the sun, but at the same time have a vacation with lots of animation, culture and fun, both day and night, Ibiza is the right destination. In addition, visiting it by boat and staying in a boat, such as a catamaran, a yacht, or a sailboat, gives you that necessary privacy and a means of transport to access the coves you want with ease, without having to worry about how to access to the most hidden and beautiful places in Ibiza! Like many coves on the island, they are not easily accessible from the sand.

Ibiza weather: What to pack?

In Ibiza, the beach and bathing season in the sea begins in May, when the temperature begins to rise up to 20 degrees. In the subsequent months, between June and August, the Mediterranean Island easily reaches 30 degrees and its waters reach a pleasant 25 degrees. For this reason, sleeping on a boat is a different and wonderful way to discover Mallorca. Imagine waking up with that heat and being able to dive directly into the sea!

The island is said to have a temperate climate, as it has a hot summer, and mild autumn and spring months, although in December it can reach 0 degrees. For this reason, it is essential to carry sunscreen, hats, your best swimsuits and shorts, and fine shirts in your suitcase to enjoy the summer in Ibiza. On the other hand, in the autumn months don’t forget those saving jackets and sweatshirts, or a good sweater so that the cold nights don’t take away our desire to go out!

In general, it has ideal weather conditions to combine a vacation at sea, and learn about its incredible traditional life.

1. Cala Salada
Incredible views! One of the most beautiful coves in Ibiza for its crystalline blue waters, although with a small flaw: it is usually visited by many tourists and in high season it can be full. Although there is a little trick! Through it you can reach Cala Saladeta, crossing a small path behind the rocks that separate both coves, with calm and incredibly transparent waters, much less crowded. However, this rocky trail can be difficult for some people, although it is also much more easily accessible by boat. In addition, getting to know Ibiza by boat can be very comfortable, because you have your suitcase at hand all the time, and all the equipment you need such as paddle surf boards, or snorkeling equipment to discover the fish that swim in its depths.

2. Cala d’Hort
It is located in the middle of a natural reserve, with unique views of two islets of Ibiza located in the middle of the sea: Islite Es Vedrá and Es Vedranell. Many travelers who decide to rent a boat to get to know the island, can get closer to see these imposing islets more closely and swim in their waters. Its turquoise sea is perfect for a bath surrounded by views of a postcard. This small cove surrounded by an imposing cliff, with restaurants nearby, will make you enjoy the best sunsets.

3. Cala Vadella:
This cove is surrounded by rock formations that isolate its visitors from the wind and waves. What makes you fall in love with this cove of Ibiza is its tranquility to be able to snorkel or dive in incredible turquoise waters.

4. Las Salinas Beach and Playa d’en Bossa
Las Salinas beach seduces us for its views of Formentera, its incredible crystalline sea, and for being “The famous beach”, since you can usually find yourself swimming, walking, or drinking cocktails with some celebrities.

On the contrary, Playa d’en Bossa is the largest in Ibiza, and where the most famous beach bars, clubs and “beach bars” are found.

5. Charming Towns: San Antonio and Santa Eulalia

San Antonio and Santa Eulalia are two of the most visited towns in Ibiza. The first of them is characterized by the party, the discos, and the incredible Ibizan nightlife.
