Where to Stay in Ibiza 2026 | Best Areas + Hotel Map
Ibiza offers two personalities: the legendary party island of superclubs and beach clubs, and the bohemian retreat of yoga, wellness, and hidden coves. Where you stay determines which Ibiza you experience. Party seekers head to Playa d'en Bossa or San Antonio; couples and families choose Santa Eulària or the north; those wanting both stay in Ibiza Town.
