Ibiza may not be a classic cultural mecca of a European holiday destination on the scale of say Rome, Paris or London but in its own way Ibiza has carved out its own unique culture based on its cultural heritage and more importantly its world beating club scene.
Travel Guide
This section covers some of the less exciting things you might need to know about Ibiza before visiting! If its your first time on the island we recommend familiarising yourself with some of the basic information below before you go.
Ibiza is small, tiny in fact at less than 30 miles high and about 15 wide. It has just over 100,000 residents (who live there permanently) but every summer flocks of clubbers, holidaymakers and seasonal workers flood its shores.
That Ibiza is relatively tiny tends to work out well for holiday makers as it means all the main attractions are situated around the 2 main centres of San Antonio and Ibiza Town (which are about 10 miles apart or a 10-15 minute taxi) or within easy travelling distance.
Ibiza is a small island with a colourful history which most holiday makers and clubbers won't be too concerned with, which is fine, but for serious Ibiza lovers you've got to know where you came from to know where you're going- right!
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: i.loveibiza.net does not intend this brief guide to replace proper legal advice- we are not experts in Spanish law. Also we do not in anyway condone the use of illegal drugs while visiting Ibiza or anytime. If you get into legal trouble while in Ibiza we recommend you contact the British Consulate to Ibiza and Formentera and your insurance company.
Drinking rules/ law
-
The legal limit for buying alcohol in shops, bars or clubs is 18.
-
There is some leniency towards under 18's drinking in restaurants with supervision
Ibiza weather is consistent, hot and dry. The weather in Ibiza certainly plays a big part in its status as a holiday resort. Below is an average temperature chart for Ibiza throughout the year. Wherever you look you'll likely find different figures for this, essentially because its just an average. It may just be me but I think Ibiza gets hotter every year. Basically go between June and September and it'll be hot, July and August are smoking hot. The rest of the year is temperate, warm, but you probably won't want your speedo's!

We managed to miss our flight out of Ibiza back to the UK after this years (2010) closing party weekend. Pretty bad move as there were no flights at a reasonable price for the rest of the week. Instead it worked out that the cheapest (if not quickest) way home that week was to catch a ferry from Ibiza to Barcelona and pick up a flight from there back to London. In case anyone else is thinking of taking the Ibiza to Barcelona ferry I thought I’d write up my experience of it here.
