Best Hotels Ibiza: Where to Stay 2026

Ibiza is more than the island of superclubs. Anyone who’s seen the Old Town (Dalt Vila) at sunset knows this, or discovered the north coast with its quiet pine-backed beaches and old fishing villages. The Ibiza image is one half. The other half is UNESCO World Heritage, hippie markets, family beaches and surprisingly good food.

Which half you experience depends almost entirely on where you sleep. Stay in Ibiza Town and you’re in the thick of it. Book San Antonio and you get sunset strip and clubs. Choose Santa Eulalia and you find a calmer, more family-oriented island.

Which area fits which trip?

Ibiza Town (Eivissa): Dalt Vila (UNESCO), harbor, clubs, restaurants. For party, culture, the full Ibiza experience.
