Country Information, Travel Facts

Ibiza is one of the busiest party islands in the world; you may well know it’s famous for its music but what else is there to know? Well here are some other Ibiza facts:

  • Ibiza  is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea about 80 km off the coast of Spain.
  • Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan:Vila d’Eivissa or simply Vila), Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany.
  • Ibiza is a part of a group of the western Balearic archipelago called the Pitiusas or “Pine Islands” composed of itself and Formentera.
  • The climate of Ibiza is Mediterranean and has milder winters but slightly cooler summers than Majorca.
  • Ibiza is considered a popular tourist destination, especially due to its legendary and at times riotous nightlife centered around two areas: Ibiza Town, the island’s capital on the southern shore and Sant Antoni to the West
  • The island’s government is trying to encourage a more cultured and quieter tourism scene, passing rules including the closing of all nightclubs by 6am at the latest, and requiring all new hotels to be 5-star.
